No. A psychologist like Dr. Lillianie can help everyone manage everyday stress, improve relationships, navigate life transitions, and build skills to prevent more serious issues.

What is mindfulness and how is it used in therapy?

Mindfulness is paying attention to the present moment without judgment. In therapy, it's used as a tool to reduce stress, manage difficult emotions, and prevent anxious or depressive thoughts from overwhelming you.

What is an assessment for ADHD like?

A comprehensive ADHD evaluation goes beyond a questionnaire. It includes a detailed clinical interview, review of school or work history, and standardized psychological tests to assess attention, impulsivity, and executive function. This thorough approach helps ensure an accurate diagnosis.

What is psychological testing and why might I need it?

Psychological testing uses standardized tests and interviews to assess cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning. It can help diagnose conditions like ADHD or learning disabilities and create a personalized treatment plan. This process provides a clearer picture of your overall well-being.

How can couples counseling or family therapy help prevent problems?

Couples and family therapy provide a safe space to improve communication and conflict resolution skills. Learning these skills helps couples and families navigate difficult life transitions together, strengthening bonds and preventing future crises. It's an investment in healthy relationships.

What is the difference between a panic attack and an anxiety attack?

A panic attack is a sudden, intense surge of fear with physical symptoms, often unexpected. Anxiety attacks, on the other hand, are typically a gradual build-up of worry in response to a specific stressor and are usually less intense.
