  • Does the breathing method help panic attacks?

    Absolutely! Breathing methods can help regulate our nervous system and can act as a distraction during a panic attack. It also helps us to feel more in control. I would recommend an app called Insight Timer, which has many breathing exercises. I hope this helps! Lindsay READ MORE

  • Confusion with items, affecting my life

    Hello, Thank you for sharing what I can only imagine was incredibly anxiety-inducing! While I cant diagnose or attempt to treat you, I will say we can all sometimes experience minor forms of dissociation (for example, you are driving and suddenly youre home and dont remember the drive.) This does not equate to a diagnosis and I always recommend following up with a healthcare provider to share your concerns. I hope this helps! Lindsay READ MORE

  • Don't know what i am going through

    So it would go against the ethical code of conduct for psychologists to diagnose an individual who is not a patient. I would suggest if youre concerned about your mental health, to talk with your pcp and see what steps your general practitioner recommends. READ MORE

  • Does psychotherapy have side effects?

    Great question! So oftentimes, therapy can be a great tool for managing depression, anxiety, panic, as well as other psychiatric disorders. However, there can be moments of intense emotional expression in the beginning of therapy, due to the fact that the individual is speaking about issues they may not have ever spoken about previously. Because of this, the person might experience an increase in anxiety, sadness, or anger. Nevertheless, therapy can be a great tool for managing these emotions long-term. I hope this helps! Thanks for reaching out! Lindsay READ MORE

  • Can you help someone with severe anger issues?

    What a great question! Sometimes all we can do to help is validating an individual's concerns. Saying things like "I am not sure how to help but let me know how I can best support you" can really go a long way. Certainly if you or someone else is in danger you would want to contact 911. I hope this helps! READ MORE

  • What are CBT techniques for anxiety?

  • What type of therapy is best for paranoid schizophrenia?

    Usually the most effective therapy for schizophrenia involves using tokens as rewards for positive, productive behavior. It may be worth looking into therapists who use this type of approach-token economy. With a psychotic disorder, you would also want to be sure that that person is following with a psychiatrist. I hope this helps! Dr. Nolan READ MORE

  • What is the first-line treatment for anxiety attacks?

    Usually the first line would be a combination of medication and cognitive-behavioral therapy. You may want to consult your physician and look on psychologytoday.com or topdocs to find someone in your area who specializes in CBT for anxiety. I hope this helps! Dr. Nolan READ MORE

  • Can I get over depression without taking medication?

    There are numerous ways of managing depression, one of which might be medication. I have patients that request trying therapy first in order to see if that helps mitigate their symptoms. You can also try other non-Western methods such as Reiki or Yoga, to help manage depression symptoms. However it would be best to talk with a physician in order to determine the best course of action. I hope this helps! Lindsay Nolan READ MORE

Then, you may want to seek out cognitive-behavioral therapy from a licensed provider, as it is incredibly effective in managing the symptoms you are describing. You can also download the insight timer app, it’s free and has lots of great resources for relaxation. I hope this helps! READ MORE

    You could certainly seek out the help of a psychologist or other licensed mental health provider if all the physical causes of vomiting have been ruled out. Anxiety can absolutely contribute to stomach discomfort, but yes, talking to a licensed mental health provider may be a great next step. I hope this helps! READ MORE

  • How can I help my child with behavior problems?

    Depending on the age, you can engage in deep breathing exercises with them (I like to use the insight timer app), you might also pursue play therapy or cognitive behavioral therapy options in your area. I also find that setting consistent boundaries and adhering to them can be most effective. For example, stating that a child has to work on homework for 30 minutes before taking a ten-minute break, and setting alarms to adhere to these rules. I hope this helps! READ MORE
