Philosophy:
When anxiety and depression interfere with a person's ability to function, they often feel desperate and helpless. Medications can help, but they do not change the behaviors or the attitude that can cause depression. Furthermore, they often produce unwanted side-effects.
Psychotherapy has been proven to be effective in treating both anxiety and depression. It offers the individual a chance to change destructive behavior patterns with no side-effects.
