Treatment Philosophy

The unexamined life is not worth living. Socrates

 Treatment Philosophy
 

Some are burdened with a sense of disconnection from others. Many come to believe that they are isolated without hope. Joining the tapestry of humanity, learning about the beloved, and understanding the language of relationships are some of the benefits of insight oriented psychotherapy. Often depression, anxiety and fears, loneliness and even psychosis begin with isolation.This isolation is made intolerable by disappointments and trauma. Self-knowledge is the beginning of  healing. From self knowledge comes self-control, humility, and a sense of purpose. The staff at New Dawn Psychology Center strives to help you overcome life's trials and tribulations.
 

Communication is essential in human relations.  However, many do not  understand what the other person is actually saying.  Helping  individuals learn proper communication techniques is one of our  specialties.  The risk of divorce or separation is too great without  these skills.
 

Have you seen an elderly couple walking down the street hand in hand, their clothes and  demeanor unmistakably one? The purpose of a marital relationship is to attain this union of Being between husband and wife. 

Children speak through behaviors and adults may need a translator. Rather than just relying on pharmaceuticals, we strive to treat children through psychological and behavioral interventions

Dreams are to the mind what blood is to the body. A drop of blood analyzed can tell much about the body.  A dream analyzed and interpreted can tell much about the situation. 

Healing the love-nest and the mind-heart of individuals is our mission statement and professional focus.

Music is the universal language of Love. Love is the only thing you get by giving it away.

Happiness is an invitation not an obligation. To find love you have to give it. This is the mystery to solve!


I love, therefore I live.

Do you have a question?

How can we help?

Treatments

Depression & Anxiety

Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Through psychotherapy and treatment, we are able to help you recover motivation, perspective, and joy that you once had in your life. 

 

Trauma & PTSD

Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger post traumatic events. We can help you overcome these symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing. 

 

Relationships

Relationship counseling can be beneficial to couples who are looking to strengthen their emotional connection, in all stages of their relationship. Therapy sessions are held with both couples and is a supportive place to discuss issues and solutions to better strengthen your relationship.     

Treatment Approach

Question

What would you rather have, a Lover or a Friend?

The Lover spends his passion on you,

illuminates you with his candor

and may fade away.

A Friend will be the defender of your life.

He will fight your enemies side-by-side,

            and be an unfailing companion.

If you marry your Lover, he becomes your husband:

How long before you are both dissatisfied with the life you live?

If you marry your Friend, he becomes your Lover;

and may share the same fate.

What is the solution then, for women and for men?

Ah! if your Lover and Friend eats daily his bread,

from the Great Love in the Sky; 

then, he will bring fresh fruits of love and wisdom to you.

He will visit the garden of your soul to your great delight!

Who can visit your secret vineyard?

Who can taste and see the goodness within,

rest among your lilies and pomegranate trees?
