Depression, anxiety and other disorders can be debilitating struggles. Beyond the actual symptoms, the feelings of those such as depression and anxiety can be more difficult to describe.
For example, one image that depicts depression for some individuals is similar to being in a deep, dark cave…. alone. We have wandered into this cave on our own or been forcefully led and dropped off alone here, either way it can be a mesmerizing and scary ordeal and nearly impossible to get out of alone.
In addition, there are many behavioral and mental disorders that can extremely difficult to manage such as OCD, narcissism, schizophrenia and autism. Individuals and families confronted with these challenges can be truly overwhelming.
We have found at Connection Counseling that the proper therapy, methodologies and support can be truly life changing.

FAQs
What mental health conditions do you treat?
We treat a wide range of mental health conditions including depression, anxiety disorders, trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, OCD, behavioral disorders, addiction and substance abuse, and autism spectrum support. Our therapists use evidence-based approaches tailored to each individual’s needs.
How do I know if I need therapy for depression or anxiety?
If you’re experiencing persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or emptiness that last more than two weeks, or if anxiety is interfering with your daily life, work, or relationships, it may be time to seek professional help. Other signs include changes in sleep or appetite, difficulty concentrating, loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed, or constant worry that feels impossible to control. A free 30-minute consultation can help you determine if therapy is right for you.
What therapy approaches do you use for mental health treatment?
Our therapists are trained in multiple evidence-based approaches including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Brainspotting, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and other modalities. We match the therapeutic approach to your specific needs and goals.
Do you offer video counseling for mental health therapy?
Yes, we offer both in-person and HIPAA-compliant video counseling sessions. Many of our clients find telehealth sessions equally effective as face-to-face appointments. This allows you to receive quality mental health care from the comfort of your home.
How long does mental health therapy take to work?
The timeline varies depending on your specific situation, the severity of symptoms, and your personal goals. Some people notice improvement within a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term treatment. During your initial sessions, we’ll work with you to establish goals and give you an honest assessment of what to expect.
What is EMDR and how does it help with anxiety and trauma?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact. During EMDR sessions, you’ll briefly focus on a traumatic memory while experiencing bilateral stimulation, which helps your brain reprocess the memory in a less distressing way. It’s highly effective for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression.
Do you treat OCD and other behavioral disorders?
Yes, we provide specialized treatment for OCD, behavioral challenges, and related conditions. Our therapists understand that conditions like OCD can be extremely difficult to manage without proper support. We use proven therapeutic approaches to help individuals develop coping strategies and reduce the impact of intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors.
Can you help with grief and loss?
Absolutely. Grief is a deeply personal experience, and there’s no right or wrong way to grieve. Our therapists provide compassionate support to help you process loss, whether from death, divorce, job loss, or other significant life changes. We create a safe space where you can work through your emotions at your own pace.
