Your mind is racing 100 miles per hour. You need your mind to slow down, so that you can focus. You easily get distracted and have difficulty concentrating. You start tasks, but do not finish them. You are forgetful and lose items. You have difficulty organizing your time and items in your physical environment. You also might experience hyperactivity and impulsivity symptoms, such as fidgeting, talking excessively, interrupting other people, and restlessness. I will teach you about mindfulness interventions and boundaries, in order to improve your concentration, prioritize tasks to complete, and meet your goals.

You have difficulty concentrating in the present moment, as your mind is thinking too far in the future. What if I do not have enough money to pay the rent next month? What if I lose my job or my partner divorces me? You feel restless and have difficulty sleeping, as your mind is racing at night. You might also be scared of large crowds, public places, social events, specific animals, and heights, and have an escape route for social events you attend. You feel sad, embarrassed, and frustrated because your anxiety prevents you from spending quality time with your family members and friends. I will teach you about mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral therapy interventions to help you focus in the present moment and feel calmer in anxious situations.

You feel overwhelmed. You recently started a new job or role at your company. You are preparing to move or recently returned from a military deployment. You are in the process of marrying or separating from your partner. You recently became a parent or lost a family member or friend. You feel stressed, anxious, sad, and frustrated, and are wondering how these life transitions will affect your mental health, relationships, and finances. I will help you process your feelings about your life transitions and will teach you about solutions, including implementing healthy coping strategies, setting healthy boundaries, focusing on psychosocial concerns that you can control, and talking with your family members and friends about your mental health needs.

You avoid processing your feelings and turn to alcohol and drugs for immediate relief. You lie to your family members, friends, and boss about how much alcohol and drugs you use. You hide and sneak alcohol and drugs. You ask your family and friends for money to purchase more alcohol and drugs for you. Your family members perceive that your alcohol and drugs use is problematic, as your alcohol and drugs use is negatively affecting your relationships with your family members and friends and is causing employment concerns. I will help you identify substance use triggers, implement healthy coping skills, set healthy boundaries, and practice mindfulness to reduce your reliance on using alcohol and drugs to manage your feelings.
