Recharge & Rejuvinate

Our brains are extremely active now more than ever with modern work schedules and lack of work-life balance. Stress and anxiety result in the hormone cortisol to flood the brain. This prevents oneโ€™s ability to relax and has negative effects on sleep, which can spiral into many other impacts on our functioning.

Leaving Stress & Anxiety Unaddressed Can Result In:

  • Inability to focus at work or school
  • Difficulty engaging in relationships
  • Physical health complaints
  • Excessive worry and avoidance

After your scheduled consultation has been completed, you will be emailed onboarding documents needed for officially starting therapy. Completing these documents with accurate information is the first step to getting ready for change.

Some people feel more nervous about scheduling a consultation than others. In order to feel more confident, there are things you can do to get your mind psychologically prepped for your consultation. Whether or not you come to the consultation with prepped notes, your therapist will ask you questions to ascertain your goals for therapy.
