The following is certainly not meant to be exhaustive list. It will, however, highlight some of the issues and complexities many have brought to Kevin’s office. See if any of these fit for you, and what you can learn in the therapy process.
Relationship Disconnects | Depression & Anxiety | Sexuality | Addictions | Men's Issues
Stress and Anger Management | Parent-Child Conflict | Medical Hypnosis
Personal Trauma | Domestic Violence
Relationship Disconnects
Learn how to improve your relationships with others at home and at work. Enhance your intimate relationships by learning effective and healthy skills. If you are single, you’ll gain knowledge about stress-free dating. If you find yourself in an addictive relationship, develop a means to break this addiction and learn more about healthy boundaries. If you are a parent, learn better parenting approaches that promote lasting memories in your kids.
Depression & Anxiety
Understand your depression and fear, and learn healthy coping skills that sustain you when you might be triggered again. Learn about what might be causing your depression and how to build strong patterns of healthy thinking into your lifestyle. Also, understand the many “faces” of depression and anxiety that you may put on each day in order to cope with the deeper feelings.
Sexuality
People often do know what healthy sexuality truly looks like. Societal messages scream loud to dictate shoulds or shouldn’ts, or we were not taught about healthy sexuality from our care-givers growing up. Men and women are often left with confusion about one’s image, inner frustrations, dissatisfaction regarding the couple’s sexual connection, and/or fears about sexual performance. You will learn ways to regain a sense of confidence and excitement in your relationship, and guidance in overcoming obstacles to your sexual fulfillment.
Addictions
Whether it is alcohol and other drugs, sex (extra-marital affairs, excessive masturbation, computer or magazine porn, strip clubs, etc.), eating, gambling, shopping and/or relationship addiction, there are various emotional and psychological needs underlying each. Learn to identify these patterns and/or cycles in your life, possible causes to each, and effective ways to work through the addiction. The approach to treatment is multi-modal with a variety of processes to help you or a family member to overcome the addiction.
Men’s Issues
In today’s society men are taught certain unspoken messages about their masculinity, e.g. “I must be in control at all times,” or “I’m less of a man if I show my emotions,” or “My body has to be _____ to be attractive.” Men are often totally clueless about relating to women or their children. You will learn about healthy masculinity, especially in relationships, such as to your partner, and/or a friend to other men, and how to provide nurturance and loving protection to your children. You will learn how to live in your strengths and gifts, not out of weakness. Kevin calls this work, "Recapturing his Sacred Masculine Sexuality."
Stress and Anger Management
Understand what stress and anger truly are and how to deal with it in your everyday personal and professional life. Learn the difference between eu-stress and distress, and how to express healthy anger. Find out what they do to your health, your relationships, and possibly, your work performance. Learn ways to eliminate unnecessary stress and anger, and how to avoid them at home and work.
Parent-Child Conflict
You really love your kids, but they may be driving you "up the wall." You will learn healthy and respectful parenting skills that will help your child or teenager learn how to get what they need without tearing the family apart. Learn a new emotional language that serves to love and respect yourself and your children at the same time.
Medical Hypnosis
Treatment is provided for a variety of problems including, but not limited to, smoking cessation, compulsive eating, pain management, weight loss, substance abuse, social anxiety, building self-confidence, stress management, anger control, sexual performance, concentration, medication compliance, pain associated with childbirth, overcoming fears, poor habit control, addictive behaviors, and more. This clinical application has you totally in control and aware of all that is around you in the process.
Personal Trauma
You don’t have to go to war to experience deep emotional turmoil and despair. Post-Traumatic Stress takes away your sense of personal safety and confidence, i.e. normal living. You may suffer from nightmares, flashbacks, unusual depression and anxiety. Perhaps you are easily startled and/or triggered by certain events or people. If so, you may be suffering from PTS. You’ll find hope as the symptoms decrease over time through your therapy work, particularly through desensitization work.
Domestic Violence
Whether you are the person being hurt or the person doing the hurting, you can find hope. Learn how to stop the cycle of violence, or the cycle of being victimized. Wanting power is often disguised in aggressive and/or violent ways. Learning your patterns of aggression is crucial to your healing. Seeking therapy, before it’s too late, will help you to gain a sense of control and dignity in your relationship without losing your marriage or suffering adjudication. If you are being hurt, you need help and support. If you allow it to continue you are running the risk of being seriously hurt yourself or allowing possible physical and emotional harm to your children. Learn to gain strength and to find reasonable solutions to your situation. |
