It seems like your bright, kind kid has turned into a moody, stressed teen overnight. While you've always been proud of their drive, you're now concerned about the pressure they feel to achieve. From the outside, it looks like your child is excelling- getting good grades, participating in a club or sport, liked by others. Unfortunately, it doesn't matter how great you tell them they are, they never feel good enough. They worry about so many things and are consumed with anxiety, tortured by the "what-if's". They're emotional, quick-tempered, & so far from the kid you once knew. It feels like nothing you say or do makes a difference.

Laynie Gibson
Counselor, LMHC, CGP
Verified
I believe therapy is about active collaboration and discovery. Together we will explore how your current patterns either support your happiness or contribute to your struggle. Areas of distress are commonly patterns that repeat over and over----in how we cope, our self-esteem, and our relationships. Common psychological symptoms such as anxiety and depression can often be linked back to the way we relate to the world, ourselves, and others. You're the expert on you. Once we've identified the underlying patterns, we can work together to develop a new way of interacting with the world around you and the people in it.

Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, MCAP, CPO, USN, Retired

Many people are faced with various mental health challenges and are seeking solutions for the here-and-now. Anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction, or other spiritual warfare can be the biggest culprits. Many times, those problems stem from incidents from our past. Too often, our feelings confuse us, so we bury them. Sometimes we feel isolated and uneasy with other people, especially authority figures. As we try to please others to compensate, we lose our own identities in the process. Afraid of abandonment, we engage in unhealthy relationships. Finally, as we neglect ourselves, our work and family relationships also suffer.
