Anxiety and Depression Counseling in Bartlett

You can decrease your stress, anxiety, and depression.

Do you feel overwhelmed with anxiety, or have you been feeling depressed?

If you are having difficulty managing your stress, you may have days when you feel completely overwhelmed. Many life circumstances are incredibly stressful, such as quarter-life and midlife transitions, where much of your life roles, responsibilities, and relationships shift and change. Suddenly, life seems and is very different, and it takes a while to figure it all out and decide how to create a new normal. Managing anxiety can be exhausting. It is difficult to feel nervous, agitated, hyper-vigilant, and/or worried. Experiencing these states takes an awful lot of energy and often leaves people feeling tired and overspent. If you are interested in working together on alleviating your anxiety and worry, we would focus on several strategies that can help.

We can work together to help you cope with your stress and anxiety.

  • Develop techniques that help you decrease and stop worry-filled thoughts
  • Learn breathing and relaxation techniques to assist you in calming your nervous system
  • Receive emotional support in a non-judging, fully accepting, safe relationship
  • Gain control over your thoughts and behavioral responses and determine if they are helpful or harmful
  • Identify triggers that heighten your anxiety
  • Discover a peaceful connection with and within yourself
  • Process any past painful experiences that may be fueling your anxiety

Coping with depression is often overwhelming and painful.

Depression can be shorter term, situational, or a lifelong mental health issue. It is always difficult to cope with depression, and receiving professional support and guidance can be extremely helpful. We can work together to help you:

  • Have a place to talk about your feelings, as much or as little as you feel comfortable doing
  • Work through any triggers or trauma connected to your present depression
  • Develop skills to handle your emotional stress, anxiety, and depression
  • Express your thoughts and feelings about what causes you upset, sadness, and pain
  • Process any grief and loss you may be experiencing
  • Decide if you would like to seek any additional medical and/or alternative treatments

You can lessen and gain more control over your stress, anxiety, and depression.

How do I know if I need therapy, intensive treatment, or if I should go to the hospital?

  It’s important to be an educated consumer of mental health care and to know what is available to you when you need support, help, and care. When a person has a fever, pain, or notices a change within their body, they know to visit the doctor. When someone breaks a bone, it is well-recognized that the emergency room would be the best place to go. However, when a person is experiencing symptoms of depression, how does one determine whether or not the symptoms are severe enough for hospitalization, rather than outpatient therapy? These two can look very different, and when asked what the levels of care are available within the mental health care system, a person can usually be met with crickets. Although the stigma surrounding mental health is decreasing, there is still a lot to learn about mental health, mental health care, and more specifically regarding the levels of care within mental health. Different levels of care focus on the intensity, complexity, structure, and support tha...
