TREATMENT FOCUS

DEPRESSION

Feeling sad, blue, or just down in the dumps is something we all experience at times. However, when it becomes persistent, it may be time to seek assistance. People often exhibit signs of depression while coping with the multiple pressures of school, work, friends, and family, pressured to a point where nothing seems to give them pleasure. As a result, they may experience irritability, appetite changes, neglecting responsibilities, difficulty remembering, inability to concentrate, and being unproductive at work and home.

Therapists at The Life Changer Center can help you break the cycle of depression and learn to live a happy, healthy, more fulfilling life.

RELATIONSHIPS

Do you feel lonely? Is your life lacking close relationships or friends? Do you wish your relationships were more satisfying? Have you experienced a series of broken relationships? Problem relationships with friends, family members, or co-workers can lead to feeling sad, stuck, or even helpless. Whether you lack close, satisfying relationships or if the ones you have are strained or broken, there’s help!

Therapists at The Life Changer Center can work with you to improve your communication, set boundaries, and increase your self-worth feelings as you begin building and maintaining satisfying relationships.

STRESS/ANXIETY

Do you feel as though your life is being held hostage by stress, fear, or anxiety? Is it getting in the way of leading the life you want to live?

Therapists at The Life Changer Center are highly skilled in the successful treatment of anxiety. They are compassionate individuals who are dedicated to helping you find new ways of approaching anxiety and reconnecting with parts of your life that you may avoid or cope within unsuccessful ways. They will help you begin to live a more enriched, fearless, and fulfilled life.

TRAUMA

In the aftermath of a traumatic event, such as sexual abuse, violence, betrayal, sudden loss, difficult and intense feelings of fear, sadness, grief, shock, and shame can be overwhelming. You may be experiencing nightmares or flashbacks and the desire to numb these feelings through activities, distractions, or addictions. The effects of trauma can also disrupt relationships at a time when you need them the most.

At the Life Changer Center, you’ll experience the care, compassion, and support you need to regain your life, free of fear, sadness, and anxiety, filled with a positive interest in your work, hobbies, relationships – in life!

GRIEF/LOSS

The loss of a loved one is perhaps one of the hardest experiences of life and a major cause of grief. While it may be the most common cause, it is not the only reason for feelings of grief. It can also be experienced as a result of financial problems, losing a job, changing schools, jobs or residencies, divorce, illness (self or a loved one), deteriorating health, and children experiencing their parents’ divorce.

The caring, supportive therapists at The Life Changer Center will walk with you, together, as you move through all the emotions that accompany grief and loss.

SPIRITUALITY

Spiritual direction is a ministry and service that helps people tell their sacred stories every day. The Life Changer Center offers one-on-one spiritual direction for companionship on life’s journey – offering skills and compassion to help each person along their path to spiritual growth.

As an interfaith counseling center, The Life Changer Center therapists can help you find your life purpose, overcome obstacles, and put pain and grief into perspective.

SELF HARM

Self-harm or injury inflicted on oneself is generally a sign of intense inner turmoil, anxiety and/or severe suppressed emotions. Though some individuals who self-harm may attempt suicide, in general, acts of self-harm do not indicate a desire to end one’s life.

Compassionate, skilled therapists at The Life Changer Center can help to sort out the painful and confusing thoughts and feelings that cause one to self-harm. If you or someone you love is self-harming, call us today to schedule a confidential appointment with one of our therapists.

PARENTING

Children go through many developmental stages, from birth to adolescence and into adulthood. Along the way, factors such as peer pressure, illness, natural frustrations, parental divorce, and other life changes can make parenting even more challenging.

At Life Changer Center, we provide a safe and supportive environment where you can feel free to share your challenges as a parent. Your children are among the most important people in your life, and you want the best for them. We do, too. We will help you understand the behaviors that naturally accompany the stages of development, ways of managing the anxiety that often accompanies parenting, and so much more.

LIFE TRANSITIONS

Life is continually unfolding, meandering, twisting, and sometimes turning abruptly. At other times it may stagnate. If life’s transitions are troubling you, it can help to seek guidance on navigating your way onto a more satisfying course.

Therapists at The Life Changer Center can help you find your way to managing better the changes you face or initiate the changes you want to make.

EATING DISORDERS

Eating disorders happen when someone’s relationship to food spirals out of control. This could manifest in all sorts of ways. Some people eat too much, some eat too little, and others struggle with the physical act of eating. They may try to control their bodies through exercise, medicine, or diets. Others may use food to soothe painful feelings.

If you or a loved one are experiencing an eating disorder, our therapists will help you follow a path to recovery. Taking the first step towards eating disorder treatment and recognizing the symptoms, whether for yourself or for the one you love, can be challenging. We are here to help.
