Psychotherapy helps to identify life events, belief systems, distorted thinking, and unhealthy relationships that may be contributing to depression. Once this is established, therapy can provide you with support, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and interpersonal coping skills to effectively improve your mood and quality of life.
Anxiety
What is anxiety?
For many people, anxiety is difficult to express. It is sometimes described as worry, fear, stress, or tension. For some, it is mild, and for others it is severe. However, most people can agree it is an uncomfortable and disruptive experience which can interfere with relationships, work, school, family and social life.
Anxiety is distinguished by specific physical, emotional, and behavioral symptoms. Some people feel it in different body parts, experiencing stomach aches, headaches, palpitations, or shortness of breath. Others feel like they are out of control or even going crazy.
Anxiety is triggered once you perceive a real or imagined threat. As long as there is a perceived threat, cortisol releases to keep the body supercharged, resulting in feeling anxious or on edge. Anxiety happens when the amygdala, a part of the brain, senses there is a problem.
The central nervous system is increasing the body’s alertness, heart rate, reflexes, respiration, and blood flow into the muscles. This affects the autonomic nervous system (ANS) which includes the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. An overactive sympathetic nervous system (SNS) can lead to an anxiety disorder. The SNS control’s your body’s “fight or flight” response. Your parasympathetic system is what helps you achieve the relaxation response.
Treatment options for an anxiety disorder include: cognitive-behavior therapy, as well as relaxation techniques. Dr. Janné can help you effectively manage anxiety, and provide you with:
- Psycho-education about anxiety
- Mindfulness
- Relaxation techniques
- Effective breathing techniques
- Assertiveness skills
- Building self-esteem
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques
- Effective problem solving

“Simply said, Dr. Lomasky is a beautiful soul. When you walk into her practice, it’s like walking into a safe place. She is genuine, sensitive, and kind.
