What We Treat

Misphonia

Misophonia is a condition where certain sounds trigger strong emotional reactions such as irritation, anxiety, or even rage. Common sounds that provoke these responses include chewing, breathing, or pen tapping. For those with misophonia, these noises are not just annoying—they can cause significant distress, making everyday situations challenging.

Misokinesia

Misokinesia is a condition where individuals experience strong emotional reactions, such as irritation or disgust, in response to specific movements made by others. These movements, which might seem minor or unnoticeable to most people, can include things like tapping fingers, repetitive gestures, or even the way someone shifts in their seat. Similar to misophonia, which involves a heightened sensitivity to certain sounds, misokinesia can lead to significant distress and discomfort.

Anxiety

Anxiety is a natural response to stress, but for some, it becomes a persistent and overwhelming feeling of worry, fear, or unease. It can manifest as physical symptoms like a racing heart, sweating, or trembling, and often interferes with daily life. While everyone experiences anxiety at times, chronic anxiety can affect relationships, work, and overall well-being. Understanding its causes and learning how to manage it can help individuals regain control and improve their quality of life.

OCD

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by persistent, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) that trigger intense anxiety, often leading to repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) performed to alleviate that anxiety. These rituals can become time-consuming and interfere with daily life, despite the person’s awareness that the behaviors are excessive or irrational. OCD can range from mild to severe, but with proper treatment, people can learn how to regain control of their life.

Perfectionism

Perfectionism is a mindset where individuals set unrealistically high standards for themselves, often accompanied by a fear of making mistakes. While striving for excellence can be motivating, perfectionism can lead to chronic stress, rigidity, self-criticism, and difficulty accepting anything less than flawless outcomes. This can impact both personal and professional life, causing delays, burnout, or an inability to enjoy accomplishments. Treatment can help individuals find a healthy balance of self acceptance and health striving for life goals.

Tinnitus

Tinnitus distress refers to the emotional and psychological impact that living with tinnitus can have on an individual. The persistent noise in the ears or head, often coupled with the uncertainty of its cause, can lead to frustration, anxiety, and even depression. The constant sound can interfere with sleep, concentration, and overall well-being, making it difficult to cope. While tinnitus itself is not harmful, the distress it causes can significantly affect quality of life. Understanding tinnitus distress and its emotional toll is crucial for developing effective strategies to manage symptoms, reduce anxiety, and improve mental health through support, therapy, and coping techniques.
