Although we all know kids who can’t sit still, don't seem to listen, blurt out inappropriate comments or don’t follow instructions are often labeled with ADHD. But did you know how many adults are walking around with the same diagnosis? Because they didn't jump around and irritate their teachers, yet still struggled with focusing their attention, getting homework done and feeling as if they didn't understand what was going on, means that they have grown into adult ADHD. ADHD makes it difficult for a person to inhibit their spontaneous responses, and are often embarrassed, angry or can turn to addictions to quiet the mind. Adults with ADHD may be high energy, driven, and crash by the end of the night. Others, with ADHD may sit quietly, with their attention miles away. Whether recognized as a child or adult, it can ruin relationships, marriages and jobs without proper "drug-free" treatment.

Feeling overwhelmed, not bonded with baby, in a constant state of worry, or wondering why you decided to become a mother in the first place? For new moms, it can be upsetting and frightening to have feelings about motherhood that don’t seem “right.” For some women, a morning run, a healthy diet and receiving help and support from family and friends are sufficient enough to get through the initial adjustment period. For others, talking to a therapist who specializes in dealing with new motherhood issues can be comforting, relieving and enlightening. Therapists who have extensive education and training in post-partum disorders understand that hormone changes, personal and family history, and social support are all vital factors in understanding and alleviating postpartum symptoms.

It’s no secret that relationships require work. Treating your relationship with the same kind of effort you put into other important aspects of your life—your finances, your home, your children—is key for success. But often, couples put their relationship second and don’t seek help when it begins to weaken—waiting until resentment has built up to a point where separation seems like the only option. With the right knowledge, desire and skills, every couple can have a successful relationship. 

The enneagram is an ancient tool for assessing personalities, but more than that. It gives us an understanding and insight as to why certain people act in certain ways, their perceptions of the world, fears, desires, and an understanding of their strengths and weaknesses, as well as our own.

For couples, this tool is by far one for the best predictors and drivers of communication successes and failures.

In the workplace, it helps with assigning jobs and responsibilities, organizing teams, and helping with improving employee retention, alleviating conflict, increasing satisfaction and productivity, and leadership strategies.

Ah, yes. Getting ready for college is a wonderful time, but it can often be filled with stress. Where shall I to go? Will I get accepted? What if I don’t know what I want to do? How much is this going to cost? How will it get paid? What do I say in my personal essay or college interview? How will my parents react to me being away from home? I don’t want to leave my friends.

So much stress.

Are you having a difficult time handling the struggles in your life? Could you use an expert opinion on what you’re going through, or a non-judgmental ear just to listen? Do you think you could benefit the most from individualized attention? Are you hesitant to talk to others about your problems? Questions about CBT, DBT, EMDR, Psychoanalytic, and other styles of therapy confuse you? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then individual therapy could be the solution you’ve been seeking. Individual therapy differs from Group or Alternative therapy methods in the way that you are the sole focus of a single therapist who helps you develop and achieve your goals for therapy.

“If only my child had come with an instruction manual!” That’s a thought that most parents have had at some point in their lives. Nothing really prepares you to become a parent. Some of us were lucky enough to have parents that set a good example. But others grew up in homes where the dynamic between child and parent was anything but functional or consistently loving.
