Finding a mental health provider is often a first and crucial step in a journey toward becoming the person you want to be, reaching the goals you want to achieve, and managing the symptoms that have hindered you in that process.
At Oasis, we understand how difficult and sometimes anxiety-provoking that the first step is, and as a result, we will always treat you with the utmost respect, courtesy, and integrity.
More often than not, our clients leave with a sense of hope, comfort, safety, and even exhilaration after the very first session.

This definition justifiably includes not just substances (such as alcohol, marijuana, or other drugs) but also behaviors (such as excessive internet use, gaming, or sex/porn).
We generally use the term "addicted" when we notice a pattern in which individuals continue to use a substance or engage in a behavior even though they know it can be harmful: to their relationships, their academic or professional performance, or their health.
People engage in these "addictive" patterns because the experience brings pleasure, offers an escape, feels rewarding, brings satisfaction, reduces boredom, or helps cope with adverse life events.

Anger is a fascinating emotion.
Some people enter therapy, stating that they have "too much" anger.
It gets them in trouble at home, at work, or at school.
Some people are only angry at themselves.
This often leads to feelings of worthlessness and depression.
What many people don't realize is that anger per se is not harmful to us.
Anger is an emotion, a feeling state.
It's what we do with our anger that can lead to difficulties.
In addition, if anger takes the place of our other emotions (for example, sadness, shame, or anxiety) it can severely limit our own sense of self - and hurt the relationships with others.

While individual therapy can be helpful in improving relationship and communication skills, family counseling really gets the job done when it comes to addressing family dynamics, conflict, and sibling relationships.
Family therapy can also help deepening connections and support when going through stressful times.
Family therapy can include all family members, or only those who are interested and willing to participate.
As you can see, family therapy is not a "one size fits all" enterprise and is tailored to your family's unique needs.
