Is Therapy for you? Life is an incredible journey but is not without its challenges. While some of those experiences are beyond our control, many are the outcome of our choices. We can find ourselves in unfulfilling relationships, challenging times or lack luster careers. Our thoughts can take us to negative places where depression, anxiety and feelings of being overwhelmed may take control. Usually people seek out therapy when they are having a hard time managing it alone. It's one of those things that we resist, convinced that we can work it out ourselves. Most of the times we do yet when we feel unhappy, therapy can help.

With 30 plus years of experience Dr. Eades offer a safe, warm and caring environment so that you feel comfortable and at ease. Although primarily a cognitive behavioral therapist, she uses various forms of therapy to help her clients achieve their goals. Her major desire Is to help her clients achieve a sense of satisfaction within their selves and their relationships. She has a proven track record of improving marital relationships and overcoming depression and anxiety disorders.

I believe almost all problems are solvable. If you decide to see me for therapy, the first thing I'll probably ask is, "What's going on? Why have you come?" Perhaps you're having difficulty with a relationship or your struggling with a child or your weight. You may be trying to decide if you want to continue in a relationship or look for another job. Or you've noticed that you're drinking too much or getting too angry or obsessing. Maybe you're feeling anxious, depressed or lonely, and despite your best efforts, you can't seem to shake these feelings.

I believe change is possible! I help people just like you improve their relationships and build healthy interpersonal and family interactions by highlighting your strengths and resources, and helping you develop new coping strategies. I help families in crisis due to school issues, relationship issues and economic issues. I work with grief and specializes in issues related to pregnancy loss, infertility, life transitions for women including career issues, relationships, child birth, adoption, empty nesting, divorce and menopause.

In a world that can be chaotic and unpredictable, I help my clients find peace and fulfillment, while lessening anxiety, sadness, shame, and other negative emotions. I work with professionals, students, academics, and couples who have recognized that, despite success in many parts of their lives, something is amiss: you're coping with a new reality, longing for deeper relationships, seeking to reduce pain from the past, facing existential challenges, or wanting to build self-acceptance and confidence. Because suffering is not sustainable, I partner with clients to help them develop and reach their goals as quickly as possible.

Do you long to have more connection and security in your relationships? Are you struggling to work through feelings of worthlessness or shame? Do you find yourself not enjoying parenting as much as you'd imagined? I believe we all need help navigating life and getting to the root of our suffering.

Our focus as we work together will be on life-long SUSTAINABLE change. How often have you changed, and then life rolls over you or memories overwhelm you, and your response shows you that the change didn't stick? My first aim is to help clients build new habits, new perspectives, and new thought patterns; my second and equally important goal is to grow deep roots on those hard-fought-for changes. When you have worked so desperately and confronted the old you, grown in grace and love toward yourself and others, we will be sure that those powerful transitions will be held on to and established as a way to thrive.

Camille believes in a unique approach for each child or adult, couple, and family. Every individual has a history, a body, an environment, and an outlook on life that is exclusive and cannot be defined entirely by diagnosis or labels. She believes the past affects the present but control of the present is decided by each individual and we possess the ultimate power to positively change our life.

The journey of life can bring many changes and challenges. Navigating these challenges can sometimes take our emotions on a rollercoaster ride of feeling hopeless, mentally exhausted, and unsure of how to move forward. The extraordinary life you desire awaits! I’ll support you every step of the way!

Are you and your partner feeling more and more like roommates? What happened? We used to have such a great connection and so much passion for each other. Now we feel like we are just going through the motions, trying to get through our days and survive. If this is what your relationship looks like right now, I’d love to work with you to help figure out where you lost each other. Where the communication got stuck and almost non-existent. Our work together will bring back that closeness and connection that you miss. That safe space where you can be yourself and know that your partner is there for you and has your back no matter what.

Life is constantly evolving, and I encourage my clients to embrace change & make the commitment to do so. The decision to seek therapy is not always easy, so I commend you for taking the first step. My office is a judgement-free zone, where you are free to express yourself in an empathetic and compassionate setting.
