Dual diagnosis, or co-occurring disorders, is when a person experiences more than one mental health issue simultaneously. Counseling interventions change according to the specific disorders.
Available Treatment Options
Most often, therapists can treat multiple mental health issues simultaneously using therapeutic techniques. Some interventions, such as developing healthy coping mechanisms and exploring past trauma, can help various mental health issues at once.

My mission is to Empower. I feel as though we let too much of our power go. It seemingly occurs without notice. First, it’s the “I’m sorries,” for no apparent reason? It’s finding that you have given so much of yourself that you have a sense of being lost, alone or unable to reach out for your own aid. Coming to terms with our histories, learning about our identities, or simply completing a lif...
When stress increases and pressure grows in one's personal life (hint: pandemic...!!.), relationships can hit a stand still, or even take a turn for the worse.
