Agape... the unconditional love that was given by Jesus.

Are you wondering: WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Are you feeling unhappy? Overwhelmed? Lost interest in things you used to enjoy? Can't keep your mind focused? You may be suffering from Depression.

Do you worry about everything, unable to control the worry? Does it disrupt your sleep? Does it make you irritable? Cause your mind to go blank? These are symptoms of Generalized Anxiety Disorder.

Depression and anxiety are treatable conditions. One effective treatment is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT.) CBT targets negative thinking patterns that disrupt your relationships with family, friends, and co-workers. Through CBT, the source of the negativity is identified. Cognitive Restructuring Skills are taught to change the processes of the negative thinking. You and those around you will notice how much happier you are feeling.
