What are common reasons for seeking therapy in Las Vegas?
Las Vegas has been called The City that Never Sleeps. We love our 24/7 access to restaurants, entertainment, services, and shopping, but there can be a downside to this fast-paced, nonstop lifestyle. If you find yourself exhausted, stressed, burned out, or unhappy, speaking to a professional therapist in Las Vegas can help restore your balance and wellbeing.
Here are some
common reasons why people begin counseling services in Las Vegas with a trained professional.
Anxiety, worry, and/or negative, worrisome thoughts. We all have to deal with stress and pressure, but people with anxiety have trouble turning down the noise and racing thoughts in their heads. Negative thoughts, fear about the future, rehearsing “what if” scenarios, and feeling “tired but wired” are signs of anxiety and stress.
Panic attacks. A sudden, unexpected episode of high anxiety and fear that comes with intense symptoms and reactions in your body, such as rapid heartbeat, trembling, sweating, dizziness, light-headedness, stomach upset, tingling, and changes in body temperature. Some people worry that these are signs of a heart attack when it’s actually an anxiety reaction.
Depression, sadness, or low mood. For some people, depression can come with more tearfulness and noticeable sadness - feeling “blue” or “down.” For other people, they feel “numb” or “blah” with an absence of tears and emotional vibrancy. I frequently hear clients say, “I haven’t been feeling like myself lately,” noticing less enjoyment and energy in their day to day life.
Grief and loss. When we go through a major life transition, lose a loved one or pet, or go through a break up, we have to learn how to cope with life in a new way. Seeing a therapist in Las Vegas can help you process your grief and find your footing again.
Trauma and PTSD. Trauma affects everyone differently, but it can show up as emotional, physical, mental, spiritual, relational, and cognitive symptoms after someone has experienced a distressing event(s). Common symptoms are fear, anger, hyper-vigilence, difficulties sleeping/resting, flashbacks, changes in appetite, negative thoughts, shame, physiological hyper-arousal (e.g. rapid heartbeat, shaking, shortness of breath), and difficulty concentrating.
Emotional/Stress Eating and Binge Eating Disorder. It’s a frustrating rollercoaster of eating out of habit or emotion to cope with stress and then feeling intense shame and guilt afterward. Behaviors include yo-yo dieting, obsessing about body image, food, and weight, and/or experimenting with diet and exercise programs that don’t work in the long run.
Personal Growth and Increased Wellbeing. You don’t have to be suffering to work with a therapist in Las Vegas! I have many clients who seek support and guidance as they work to “level-up” their lives. Counseling can help you get clear about your goals, maximize your strengths, and live in congruence with your values so you feel healthy, whole, and happy.
