Depression
It's
quite normal to feel sad at times or be hopeless about situations in
life. But with depression, these feelings linger for weeks, months or
even years. Depressive feelings are far more intense than "just the
blues" and can interfere with relationships, work, daily activities and
even your ability to function, such as eating properly, bathing
regularly or working efficiently.
Although depression is a common
health condition, it isn't something you can simply "snap out of."
Depression involves both the mind and body, affecting how you think and
behave. You might feel fatigued all the time, or you might avoid people
who were once good friends. Or you may feel life just isn't worth
living.
Treating Depression
Through our counseling
sessions, you will learn how to identify and make changes in unhealthy
behaviors or thoughts, and explore relationships and experiences. As a
result, you'll discover better ways to cope and solve problems, and set
realistic goals. Therapy can help you regain a sense of control and help
alleviate symptoms like hopelessness, helplessness and anger. It also
may help you adjust to a crisis or other life issue. Even if an unwanted
situation doesn't change, you can change the way you think and respond
in a more positive way.
For an initial telephone consultation with Ann McIntosh and to schedule an appointment, call (512) 306-9992.

Anxiety Therapy
Some anxiety can be a good thing, helping you respond to real dangers.
Likewise, a "case of the jitters" can motivate you to excel at work,
school or at home. But some people have excessive or unrealistic anxiety
and worries, well beyond what is appropriate for the situation.
Living
with anxiety can be difficult, but therapy can help you take back your
life and learn healthier ways to cope. Working in our sessions, you will
explore ways to manage your thoughts and feelings. You'll also gain new
coping and thinking skills that will help you know how to let go and
not dwell on past concerns. You'll also learn to change what you can and
allow the rest to take its course.
Taking that first step to
deal with your anxiety will give you a tremendous sense of relief.
Changes take time but deliver powerful results -- a more relaxed, rested
and less anxious self. Please contact our office at (512) 306-9992 or complete the form below. We look forward to receiving your inquiry.
