Dr. Teyhou Focuses On
Career Burnout
The words stress and work are practically synonymous for many people. Over time, the physical and emotional toll of work stress can be debilitating and may even turn into career burnout. Choosing to work with a professional to address symptoms of career burnout can be a wise option. Talking with a professional counselor or therapist can help you identify specific triggers for anxiety and stress and find ways to cope. Professional counselors can help you create a greater sense of work life balance to keep career burnout at bay.
Life coaching
If you are familiar with self-help and personal growth methods, you may have heard of Life Coaching. In certain situations, Life Coaches can offer just the right kind of help to get people back on track toward their goals. However, quite often the areas in which people feel stuck represent greater underlying challenges with depression, anxiety and self-worth, and these struggles are best addressed with a therapist. Therapists are trained professionals who help people examine many types of challenges and most importantly, assists them in harnessing their strengths to rise above them and thrive.
Relationship Issues
You may have heard of attachment styles before, as more people are learning about it and exploring the ways in which their style affects their life. Attachment begins in utero and is first influenced by our mother’s experiences and stress levels. During infancy and early childhood, attachment is reinforced with the way our needs are met and whether our caregivers offer the love and support we need to feel safe and cared for. All subsequent relationships impact attachment, sometimes reinforcing early messages and at other times, offering new opportunities for attachment learning.
LGBT
People in the LGBT community sometimes need the support of a therapist to address challenges like social stigma, family dynamics or internalized judgment. Talking to friends and trusted loved ones is important, but the objectivity and confidentiality of a therapist is unique and valuable. Therapists who specialize in LGBT needs can help sort through the varying challenges that arise and find solutions to reduce stress in everyday life.
