Relational issues are a very common concern. Whether it’s with your family, your partner, your colleagues, your friends, and even yourself; we can help you learn the necessary tools to help you move towards healthier relationships.
Anxiety & depression therapy
Mood and anxiety disorders, such as depression, bipolar disorder and anxiety, can feel debilitating; we can also live healthy lives and thrive while managing their symptoms. Stress is a normal part of our lives and to an extent, it’s essential to our ability to function. Everyone’s needs are different and can benefit from a multidimensional approach. Let us help you restore balance.
Trauma-focused therapy & healing
Traumatic stress can occur after an impactful isolated event and as an effect of prolonged exposure to abusive behavior and fear-triggering experiences. Traumatic stress can also present itself weeks, months, and even years after the activating event(s). If you have Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Acute Stress Disorder (ASD), or another trauma-based disorder, Clarity Family Therapy is here to help.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a type of talk therapy that can help change the way you behave and think.
