COUNSELING FOR ANXIETY & DEPRESSION
Brief Introduction
Living with anxiety and depression can feel overwhelming, affecting every aspect of your life—from work and relationships to daily activities. Our goal is to provide you with compassionate and effective support to help you manage and overcome these challenges.
Understanding Anxiety & Depression
Anxiety often involves excessive worry and fear that disrupts your daily functioning. It can manifest as generalized anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, and more. Depression, on the other hand, is marked by persistent sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest in activities you once enjoyed. It can significantly impact your mood, energy, and outlook on life.
Key Issues We Address
• Persistent Worry: Excessive, uncontrollable anxiety affecting daily life.
• Panic Attacks: Sudden episodes of intense fear and physical symptoms.
• Social Anxiety: Fear and avoidance of social interactions.
• Chronic Sadness: Long-lasting feelings of depression and hopelessness.
