Our goal is to help you understand your personal stress level by exploring negative thought patterns and habits, while identifying healthier alternatives. These classes provide education, support, and dialogue to help you create a more balanced lifestyle.
Feelings like anxiety, worry, panic, nervousness, and fear don’t have to rule your life. Anxiety left unaddressed can create health problems, negatively impact relationships and overall quality of life. Together, we will work to eliminate/reduce symptoms, and develop healthier habits.
Our closest relationships are both rewarding and complex. POM offers family sessions with the purpose of increasing empathy and attunement, identifying negative patterns, and learning new skills and strategies to connect with loved ones.
Anger, is perhaps the most misunderstood emotion. Often underlying feelings such as, inadequacy, fear, rejection, and sadness will be expressed through anger as it is generally perceived as a more socially accepted response. With POM, you can explore the true source of your anger, develop healthy/non-threatening ways of communicating, and strategies to de-escalate situations.
Trauma can be chronic, long term exposure to one or more stressors, or sudden and acute. Examples of trauma include victims/survivors of neglect, abuse, and violence, death of a loved one, discrimination or social rejection, accident or natural disaster, or loss/change in status such as divorce or job loss. We can help heal trauma from a holistic perspective.
Individuals experiencing pervasive unhappiness, sadness, and a general loss of interest can benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Together we will explore internal and external factors such as thought and behavioral patterns, while implementing strategies to reduce symptoms and improve overall mood and relationships.
At POM we accept, affirm and welcome all! Persons within the LGBTQ+ community are 3x more likely to experience mental illness such as anxiety or depression. We will assist in affirming the self discovery process; encourage self care and acceptance. If needed, we can facilitate family communication related to the coming out process.
The overall view we have of ourselves, ultimately determines how we perceive the world around us. We are a unique combination of genetics, personality, and environment. If you are feeling "stuck", struggle with inadequacies, or just want to learn and understand yourself on a deeper level... we can help!
If your personal spaces are cluttered, so is your mind. Do you find yourself stuck in the pattern of over-consumption or holding onto "stuff" that doesn't bring you joy? Learn techniques to change your life, inside and out!
