Depression

Depression holds you back. Nancy Newhouse will help you explore how this cypher damages your thinking. You may have a markedly diminished interest or pleasure in all or almost all activities. There may be a change in your appetite or suffer from Insomnia, psychomotor agitation (inability to calm your body movements down), which is observed by others. You may feel restlessness or fatigued. If you’re plagued by inappropriate guilt or inability to concentrate or struggle with recurrent morbid thoughts; you are probably struggling with depression. At Newhouse Psychotherapy, we try to tease out the reality of your thoughts and get to the root causes in order to provide relief from this painful experience.

Substance Abuse Recovery

Substance abuse is often covered in these areas:

• Opioid abuse. Opioids — morphine, oxycodone, and hydromorphone — are common treatments for pain
• Illicit drug abuse
• Prescription drug abuse
• Alcohol abuse
• Tobacco abuse
• Gambling

You know you’re in trouble if your using substances which lead to risky behavior, socially inappropriate and have withdrawn from loved ones. There are many other signs. Most substance addiction is tied to dependency. Psychotherapy can help. The 12 step programs are good in the support of the group; but where do you go from there? Do you go back or forward and take a long hard look at the dependency piece in order to move toward to become a free standing functional autonomous person.

Working with Aging

We begin by looking at the physical, psychological, social, familial, and career challenges involved in aging.

Staying with what you know rather than dwelling in the past prevents a deep dive into depression. We continue to look at yourself as a valuable resource and figure out how you can share it in the present. Drawing on your experiences and insights will start to alleviate the existential depression and lurking anxiety. What you know and what can you do about it matters.

Coping with Grief

I approach the problems of a grieving person with empathy and professional understanding. Individuals and groups experience loss in various ways; it can be sudden or at the end of a long exhausting ordeal.

Traumatic Disorders & Therapy

In psychoanalysis, a trauma is a blow to the psyche, which means a profound disturbance that can happen to a young child, an adolescent, or adult. The patient becomes upset and the world may look very different as a result of this disturbance. Its effect depends on the impact on the person and how resilient they are bouncing back from one of life’s unpleasant realities.

Trauma can have long-lasting effects on your mental health, affecting every aspect of your life. Our trauma therapy services are designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences, whether from childhood, past relationships, or traumatic events in adulthood.
