Our Therapy
Social Relationships and Communication
We all have basic needs which includes the need to feel a sense of belonging and love. As humans, we are meant to live connected to others. This requires good relationship and communication skills. At SEEK1, we specialize in helping those who struggle socially due to difficulty understanding and responding appropriately to social cues and expectations. Some of the disorders that commonly result in social struggles include: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Social Pragmatic Communication Disorder, ADHD, Sensory Processing Disorder and others who struggle with abstract thinking concepts; rigid, inflexible thinking; and, difficulty with emotional regulation.
Anxiety and Depression
Anxiety is one of the most common disorders facing children and teens today. Anxiety, stress, fear and depression are emotions that we all experience at times. However, if they are negatively impacting daily functioning (i.e. school, home, work,..), it is time to consider getting help. We can help provide the tools to help understand and manage these strong emotions and to reestablish a sense of empowerment over one's emotions and life functioning.
Emotional Regulation
Emotional regulation or self-regulation is the ability to respond to ongoing demands of experience with the range of emotions in a manner that is socially tolerable and flexible to permit management of reactions as well as the ability to delay reactions as needed. The ability to initiate and/or inhibit or modulate ones emotion is a crucial life skill. There is high correlation between emotional dysregulation and symptoms of anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. Emotional intelligence is the ability to be aware of, control and express one's emotions and is associated with social success. We can help individuals improve social awareness and regulation which in turn, grows one's emotional intelligence.
