How do I stop the negative chatter in my head? We often experience negative self-deprecating thoughts that have a huge impact on the way we feel and behave. These thoughts make us feel sad, lonely, angry, or anxious, leading to wrong choices or impacting our relationships with the people we love. Navigating through these thoughts and feelings is very difficult. However, you can learn to positively restructure the way you think of the world and yourself. Your life experience is unique and you have the opportunity and capacity to live your best life.
Dr. Pallens offers specialized clinical skills and evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She provides Individual and Relationship Counseling/psychotherapy, Psychological Testing/Evaluations (including ADHD, intelligence/giftedness, academic, personality, vocational, fertility, etc).
