At the Center for Conscious Living you will learn to make positive changes in your life. Dr. Carol B. Low, a licensed clinical psychologist, is your guide to growth-oriented solutions and deeper self-knowledge. While predominantly focused on individual and family therapy, we also offer group psychotherapy as well as weekend intensives for out-of-town clients.
Specializing in efficient psychotherapeutic techniques such as clinical hypnosis and cognitive, rational-emotive, and experiential therapy, the Center offers effective solutions to enhance your life. The Center for Conscious Living has a unique practice philosophy. We believe your psychotherapy should be guided by a few basic principles. First, it ought to have a high probability of success.
Next, you are entitled to share in all treatment decisions with your therapist. In addition, you should come away from your treatment feeling as though you have learned skills that you can use for the rest of your life, so that you do not become dependent upon your therapist.

The answer to the above questions lies in determining what will work for you to promote euphoria and happiness.
At the Center for Conscious Living, we believe the answer is Unconditional Self-Acceptance.
Social scientists have been struggling for years to measure self-esteem.
It turns out to be a rather elusive concept.
In some measures, people high in narcissism, an immature form of self-love that essentially does not allow for the needs and feelings of others to be taken into account, score high on self-esteem.

Depression is a state of mind: A powerfully negative mood that interferes with your daily life.
Depression is more than sadness.
When you are depressed, you are sad, despondent, disinterested, lethargic.
You feel hopeless or helpless.
You may cry all the time or feel as if you absolutely cannot get out of bed in the morning.
Depression affects your body as well as your mind.
In a severe depression, you may feel as if nothing is pleasant and no one is loveable, least of all you.
You may eat less or you may eat more, but less often.

We are all afraid of something.
Fear helps to keep us alive.
It keeps us from running into the street and touching the stove and jumping out of 10-story windows.
It reminds us to wash our hands and handle broken glass carefully.
When normal fear starts to limit your life in seemingly irrational ways, we call that a phobia.
From washing your hands excessively to get rid of germs to staying away from elevators or out of tall buildings to running inside at the sight of a dog across the street, phobias restrict your enjoyment of your life and your sense of freedom to move about.
