ADHD is a neurological disorder of Executive Function. Executive Functions include: Planning, Time Management, Metacognition, Self-Control, Working Memory, Flexibility, Attention, Organization, Task Initiation, and Perseverance. People who have ADHD may find themselves- unable to sit still, struggling to stay on task, losing track of time or having a hard time tracking time, forgetting small and/or very important things, and acting impulsively. In addition to struggling with the immediate consequences of managing these Executive Functions, a neurodiverse person often also experiences depression, anxiety, and shame. We treat ADHD using a combination of DBT Skills, MBSR, and ACT.

Anxiety can be crippling and leave a person feeling helpless and stuck. Fear perpetuates anxiety, and often causes an otherwise healthy person to withdraw and isolate to protect themselves. This isolation increases fear, and thus the cycle of anxiety traps a person. Anxiety can be treated through a variety of interventions including DBT Skills, MBSR, and Somatic Therapy.

Trauma is defined as anything that happens to a person or anything witnessed that the individual did not have the skills to cope with at the time. Immediately following a traumatic event people often feel shock or denial. Trauma responses vary greatly from person to person but can include severe mood swings, increased alertness, unwanted thoughts or nightmares, insomnia, headaches, nausea, and generally feeling unsafe. We treat trauma using Somatic Therapy, Prolonged Exposure for PTSD, DBT Skills, MBSR, CBT, and ACT.

Substance abuse can leave a person feeling out of control of their own life. When a person abuses substances, their ability to function in their relationships, jobs, education and other areas of life suffer. The substance use can become the top priority in a person's life and prevent them from being able to manage activities of daily living, including basic hygiene. Often, a person uses substances in order to cope with something they do not have the skills to manage on their own. We treat substance abuse via DBT-SUD, CBT, MBSR, and ACT.

Depression can feel like lack of energy, overwhelming sadness, and despair. It can suck the joy out of activities and interests one used to enjoy, and extinguish motivation to seek out new experiences. We approach depression treatment with DBT, CBT, ACT, and Somatic Therapy.

Self-esteem issues present themselves for a variety of reasons, and can be perpetuated by mental health issues. Low self-esteem is characterized by low self-worth, and a lack of belief in oneself. Thoughts like, "I'm worthless," or "I'm not good enough," haunt the person. Feelings such as shame or guilt accompany self-esteem issues. Self-esteem issues can be treated through CBT, ACT, MBSR and DBT, and Somatic Therapy.
