​ANXIETY.
​Anxiety is a natural response to stress and an expected part of life.  However, if you are a person with an anxiety disorder, your anxiety does not go away and may get worse over time consequently reducing your quality of life tremendously.  The symptoms generated are likely to affect your personal life, performance at work and relationships.  You are not alone - in the U.S., 40 million adults suffer from an anxiety disorder.  Fortunately, anxiety disorders are highly treatable. 
​DEPRESSION.
​Depression can unexpectedly manifest from normal life experiences and people from all walks of life can be affected.  It is characterized by chronic discontentment, feelings of despair and loneliness. Your ability to have energy and feel happiness towards life may feel blocked, leaving you with the inability to make constructive steps forward.  The World Health Organization reports that 300 million people are impacted by depression worldwide.  With there being no single cause to depression; it can feel overwhelming to overcome when it has taken root. Depression can be treated successfully with the appropriate modalities so that it no longer masters you. 
​AUTISM.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a broad spectrum condition marked by the degree to which an individual is able to communicate and interact with the world around them. Because ASD encompasses many sub-types, each individual displays a unique array of strengths and challenges, all of which can be supported through empirically supported interventions.  In the U.S., 1 in 59 individuals live with a form of autism.  There are many behavioral, skill, and communication modalities that can be employed to successfully enhance the quality of you or your loved ones life.  Our primary mission is to enhance one's ability to grow, learn and cultivate appreciation for life with a perspective that goes beyond the ordinary. 
OPPOSITIONAL DEFIANT DISORDER.
Typically diagnosed in young children and adolescents, Oppositional Defiant Disorder is a disorder in which excessive uncooperative behaviors are displayed. The behavioral patterns can vary significantly depending on age and gender but the common thread in distinguishing the disorder is marked by an unrelenting defiance to authority figures with an engagement in disobedient and hostile conduct. Affected children resist structure to any established rules and will often lose their tempers with authority figures and peers, creating an inharmonious family and school dynamic. Because ODD is often found in conjunction with other disorders, such as ADHD, treatment is geared to successfully treat all coexisting conditions. The goal with treatment is to provide early detection and intervention to maximize the individual's development, skills and overall quality of life.  ​
