• Are you feeling overwhelmed and anxious?
• Is anxiety affecting your work, relationships or health?
• Anxiety making you feel worried, negative, or tense?

Perhaps you start doubting yourself, feeling stressed, nervous or irritable. Obsessing over problems until you’re so tense, it’s difficult to sleep. You fear that things will never get better.

Many people have these common experiences. If they don’t pass, you might need more support to break the cycle. We can help you stop worrying and start living again.
If anxiety is creating work or relationship problems we can help. If you are drinking too much, procrastinating, or isolating, why waste any more of your life spinning your wheels? Anxiety can be debilitating, immobilizing, even frightening. Some people end up in the ER, mistaking a panic attack for a heart attack.

Depression Therapy

Depression Counseling in Virginia Beach – Norfolk

• Feeling sad, empty tired, guilty or hopeless. Nothing makes you happy?
• Are you becoming isolated or lonely but can’t reach out to people?
• Does life seem like more trouble than it’s worth?

We all have the blues sometimes. But if you have clinical depression, it’s more than just a down mood or sad feeling. Major depression is not an emotion. It is a major medical disorder that affects nearly 5-10% of adults in a given year. Over a lifetime you have a 20%, or one in five, chance of having an episode of depression. Women are twice as likely to get depression as men.

With depression, you may feel sad and hopeless, but you may not know why. Unlike sadness or the blues, depression is actually a biochemical disorder that affects just about every area of your life.

You may even have had self-destructive or suicidal thoughts. If this is the case, it is crucial that you seek help. These feelings don’t have to last. We’ve helped hundreds of people get through their depression and we can help you too.

Can Depression or Anxiety Cause Physical Pain?

Yes, absolutely…

You might also find yourself having physical symptoms from depression such as:

• Joint pain
• Limb pain
• Back pain
• Gastrointestinal problems
• Lowered immune response
• Feeling heavy or slowed down
• Fatigue and aches

Often, these mysterious physical symptoms can be the first signs of depression.
But mostly, with depression, you just don’t feel like yourself. You may feel like you’re covered with a wet blanket, a fog, or that you’re removed from reality, that nothing seems real, or that you don’t even seem real. Normal pleasure and joy become elusive and you find yourself fixated on negative thoughts and that you can’t seem to shake.
Make no mistake. Depression is a serious disorder and you deserve the right help to overcome it!

The good news is that Major Depression is very treatable! With the right therapy, and the right therapist, you can overcome depression and live the life you were meant to live!
