Willow Glen Couples Therapy Available

As a psychologist, I view each patient as an individual person. I inquire as well as listen closely to aid each one I work with come to a further knowing of who he or she is. A few of the particular issues discussed in the therapy visit may pertain to one’s childhood, critical transitions, strengths, and interactions which have contributed to whom the person is at this time in addition to whom they hope to grow to be down the road.

Experiences and life events can be quite important. Too often, the meaning may be disregarded and it may be a challenge to work through the meaning by ourselves. Psychotherapy can be perfect opportunity to visit the various parts of one’s life. In the process, it's possible to possess a much more cohesive sense of oneself. The psychotherapeutic process supports one to release aspects of her or his life which do not serve the person and allow in new ones that will.

Willow Glen Anxiety Therapy

Psychotherapy can be an essential practice in healing one’s wounds. Frequently, most of these vulnerable areas need assistance from someone else. Without this attention, one can start to feel anxious, frustrated, moody, or perhaps in some way out of alignment with his or her real self. I offer my clientele with ample space to listen to themselves as they communicate. There are not many spots in one’s daily life in which a person may freely share anything on his or her mind; an area where a man or woman may be totally real.  Psychotherapy is a strong tool to help in providing more complete growth and healing.

San Jose Counseling offers treatment for a variety of circumstances.

Depression symptoms may show up in a number of ways. People who suffer from major depression tend to experience depressed disposition almost all of the time, practically every day of the week, and encounter reduced interest in many matters. Some people also can experience sensations of worthlessness or sense of guilt, tiredness or diminished vigor, diminished ability to focus or concentrate, sleeping disorders, decrease in appetite or eating too much, frequent thoughts of dying or committing suicide: Some people have thoughts like, “what’s the point of existing?” When it goes on for too long, it can affect the way they think about themselves, their relationships, their school work, or job life. Simply put, it may make the tasks associated with day-to-day existence seem like an extremely hard task. However, in time, effective psychotherapy can aid in reducing or possibly even clearing away the signs of major depression and lead towards an even more gratifying daily life.

Those who experience anxiety symptoms can feel uneasy at best and very affected at worst. Individuals document symptoms including extreme worry which is generally challenging to control, sleep disturbance, irritability, restlessness, tiredness, muscle tension, or difficulty focusing. There are generally some troubles underlying the anxiety symptoms that the sufferer is either unaware of or chooses to ignore. While an individual deals with the sometimes uncomfortable or distressing issues that contribute to the uneasy or troublesome thoughts, the stress and anxiety typically subside.

Grief is a feeling or experience folks have when they've experienced loss. Grief may be the response to the death of a family member, or it can be the reaction to a major transition in which a person goes through. Signs and symptoms associated with grief can mimic those associated with depressive disorders, but the source is usually more distinct. Once the emotions linked to the loss are worked through, within time, the sentiments of despair usually recede.

I also work with couples. While we all interact with each other, I help identify the misunderstandings, blockages, and earlier wounds so that each individual becomes better at deeper intimacy within the couple. I assist individuals in discovering obstacles which interfere with their ability to connect with their essence. In doing so, the pair can experience a breeding ground of deeper and much more fulfilling connection inside themselves and with each other.

Throughout my practice with children as well as teenagers, I offer play therapy and other creative means for self expression and provide a safe atmosphere to talk through feelings of solitude, depression, frustration, or even self-hatred. I work with youngsters who are experiencing the outcomes of a divorce as well as with their moms and dads to enable them to better support their children with the multitude of feelings of that may be a part of any kind of splitting up. This therapeutic course of action has the possibility to bring a greater level of inner tranquility and comfort to the individual that allows for a larger sense of connectedness to themselves, their loved ones, and their social network.
