Living with anxiety and depression can seem overwhelming and hopeless. When your mind gets caught in a downward spiral of negative thoughts, it can feel impossible to climb out. It may have started affecting your normal day to day life – in school, work, or even your relationships. The feelings of agitation, tension, worthlessness, and guilt prohibit you from moving forward, accomplishing tasks, and being at your best self. Often times, you may wonder if you’ll ever be your self again, or if this path of darkness is your new normal.
What does your ideal life look like? Is it peaceful, bright, and full of joy? Perhaps it involves healthy relationships, easier decision making, and a powerful sense of self-worth. Imagine what it would be like to overcome whatever is currently keeping you from being able to envision a brighter future for yourself. I can help you get to where you want to be.
I use proven techniques to help adolescents and adults with anxiety/depression find inner peace. I am also trained in treating individuals struggling with body image concerns and eating disorders. Providing teletherapy to NC, SC and FL residents. For easy and convenient scheduling, visit www.calmbluewaterscounseling.com, email or call (980) 689-1794.
