Craig Mead LCSW, LCPC

Craig Mead LCSW, LCPC Therapy is a unique opportunity to learn more about yourself and why you think and feel the way you do. Processing through feelings helps us understand ourselves and learn new perspectives that can help reduce negative emotions. We’ll work together to identify any underlying root causes of problems that hold you back from a happier, more fulfilling life. Together we’ll work to increase your understanding of your current challenges and identify practical ways to improve how you manage your stress, anxiety, and emotions. Common problems I can help with: Anxiety is a persistent feeling of unease, worry, or fear that can interfere with your daily activities and relationships. It can manifest in simple and complex ways, such as generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, or specific phobias. I work with evidence-based treatments to help you identify triggers, challenge negative thought patterns, and develop strategies to manage and reduce anxiety. Overwhelm is a state of being emotionally or mentally overloaded, often accompanied by feelings of helplessness or inability to cope with the demands of life. It can stem from a combination of factors such as excessive workload, lack of support, perfectionism, or unrealistic expectations. Let me help you regain control over your life by teaching you practical techniques to prioritize tasks, set boundaries, and practice self-care. Together, we will empower you to navigate through overwhelming situations with confidence and resilience. Depression is a mood disorder characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest in once enjoyable activities. It can affect your energy levels, sleep patterns, appetite, and overall quality of life. There are evidence-based therapies for depression, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based approaches. I’ll provide you with a safe and supportive environment to explore the underlying causes of your depression and develop strategies to manage symptoms effectively.
