HELP FOR INDIVIDUALS
HELP FOR DEPRESSION
Don’t let depression overshadow your life causing you to feel hopeless. Depression affects sleep patterns, appetite, concentration, mood, intimacy, and sometimes the desire to live. It can begin when life’s problems become more than you can handle.
Pam can determine if what you are experiencing is clinical depression. She uses several specific behavioral and counseling techniques to help depression sufferers overcome the uncomfortable symptoms and bad feelings. If a medical evaluation is indicated to determine whether medication is needed, she will help you find the right physician.
The natural inclination to pull away from others during a difficult time is the worst thing you can do. Pam can help you turn your negative thoughts into positive thoughts and actions. She knows how to help you cope with disappointments and get back on track. You’re not alone—Pam will be there every step of the way to help you succeed in making these changes.
Getting help is the right thing to do because depression hurts you and those who love you.
HELP FOR ANXIETY
Anxious feelings can keep you from living your life the way you want. Panic attacks can too. Stress, anger, or just living life can cause anxiety and panic attacks. Pam can show you an effective way to deal with problems and teach you new behaviors that will help you begin to feel better. She frequently receives physician referrals to help people who are suffering from anxiety and panic attacks. Many people with severe anxiety or panic attacks have expressed gratitude when Pam taught them how to prevent and manage the discomfort. They say they are relieved to have control again.
HEALING A TRAUMA
If you’ve experienced or witnessed a trauma such as an accident, abuse, war, or if you've been through other experiences that were so bad that you feared for your safety or someone else’s, you may have Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). You may be having nightmares or flashbacks of the event, you may be avoiding people or activities, you may be anxious. Pam can evaluate your symptoms to determine if you have PTSD, and she can provide effective treatment so that you don’t have to continue to suffer.
In fact, she has treated many trauma survivors over the years. The state-of-the-art trauma release therapy she uses can benefit those who have experienced trauma such as policemen, soldiers, crime or accident victims, mothers who've had childbirth trauma, those who have witnessed something traumatic happening to someone else, and many others.
If you've experienced a trauma that isn't mentioned, just call, and Pam will be glad to answer your questions. By making an appointment, you can take that first step toward experiencing healing.
HEALING ABUSE SUFFERED IN CHILDHOOD
When past abuse continues to haunt you, it’s time to get help. As an adult survivor of sexual abuse, physical abuse, or emotional abuse, you may suffer from Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. Even years after a trauma, symptoms such as nightmares, stress, flashbacks, depression, phobias, sexual problems, and lingering fears can paralyze your life.
Pam knows how to break the cycle of pain by tracing its origin and helping you to release negative feelings. As you see the pieces of your life for what they really were, you will be able to look to tomorrow from a realistic foundation and build confidence with every passing day.
