Areas of Care

Clinicians at Cabot can help you with a variety of mental health issues

  • The core mental health conditions we support

Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety disorders are conditions in which everyday worry and concern become an interference in your daily life, and/or cause you distress. While nervousness and worry are part of every person’s normal experience, it becomes a mental health issue when the anxiety starts to intrude on daily life and become quite upsetting for the person experiencing it. Anxiety can manifest in a variety of ways, which will be discussed in more detail later in this article.

Anger

Anger is a normal human emotion that all of us have experienced in our lives. It is a normal emotional response to a situation that has been hurtful, harmful, or unfair. Anger is a way to express negative feelings.

Autism/Spectrum Disorders

Seeking autism therapy is important to receive the right support and care for those affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder. Our clinic is committed to offering neurodiversity affirming therapy by providing specialized services that support neurodivergent differences. Our goal is to create a respected and embracing environment where neurodivergent people of all backgrounds can find support.

Depression

Understanding depression is an important element in the treatment of clinical depression. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5), the primary resource for psychologists and psychiatrists, makes clear that Depression is not just sadness. Depression is a clinically significant condition, with biological causes and effects, that can dramatically decrease quality of life, and have significant consequences on anyone suffering from it.

Eating Disorders

Eating disorders are more common today than ever, and are not limited by age, gender identity or status. Anorexia, Bulimia, Compulsive Overeating, or other eating disorders can wreak havoc on an individual's life, and the lives of those who love them. Learning to establish a healthy relationship with food, and a healthy acceptance of your body (at every size) is an empowering skill, and therapists at Cabot are trained in ways to help you achieve that goal.

Grief

Grief is an experience that few people will be able to avoid in their lifetimes. It can develop following the loss of a major person in your life (i.e. spouse, child, parent, sibling) or a different kind of loss (e.g. job loss, pet death, major move, etc.). No matter what the cause, grief can turn your life upside down, and having support as you walk through your grief is invaluable. Therapists at Cabot are available to provide support during these major life transitions.

Mood Disorders

Mood disorders range from Major Depression to Bipolar II to Postpartum Depression, etc. Any significant and lasting change in your mood, which causes interference or distress, may classify as a mood disorder. When mood symptoms occur, you are far more likely to "get back to normal" quickly with the help of a trained therapist, who can help you learn skills and strategies to both cope with and alter the troubling symptoms.

Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders

The birth of a baby is a wonderful, awful, challenging time. Particularly for a mother who is carrying a baby, or has recently given birth, the physical and hormonal changes in her body can cause massive disruptions in mood and coping. Because of the profound lifestyle changes, the same can happen for a parent who has not carried or given birth to the baby. Therapists at Cabot can help navigate this brand new landscape, providing support, validation and strategies to cope.

Trauma/PTSD

The three main recommended treatments for trauma are Exposure Therapy (including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing [EMDR] and Prolonged Exposure [PE]), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). Psychologists routinely turn to these three treatments for all types of trauma, whether you’ve experienced one major traumatic event or a lifetime filled with ongoing trauma.

Postpartum Depression

Postpartum depression (PPD) is a severe health condition that impacts new mothers after having a child. Unlike the “baby blues,” which many mothers have and typically resolve in a matter of weeks, PPD can persist. It often significantly impacts the mother’s ability to care for herself and her baby.

Self-Esteem Concerns

Self-esteem influences nearly every aspect of our lives. How we feel about ourselves impacts our self-confidence, which impacts our relationships, our decisions, and our ambition. Without healthy self-esteem, our overall life satisfaction will be lacking

Gender Affirming Care

Our clinicians provide space for clients to heal, receive support, and share their lived experiences in an empathetic and safe environment. Our approach includes personalized treatment plans, and working with therapists who specialize in transgender issues who can collaborate with other healthcare members.

ADHD Testing

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common mental health conditions. According to the American Psychiatric Association, ADHD can affect both children and adults and is mostly characterized by difficulty focusing, hyperactivity, excessive movements and impulsive actions.

Bipolar Therapy

Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder. It is characterized by intense swings in mood, energy, and behavior. Typically a person with bipolar will cycle between periods of emotional highs and deep depressive lows. Bipolar is manageable with treatment.

FAQs for Areas of Care

See All FAQs
Anxiety is a natural and adaptive response to stress or perceived threats. It involves feelings of unease, worry, and apprehension, often accompanied by physical symptoms such as increased heart rate, sweating, and muscle tension.
While occasional anxiety is common, it becomes a concern when it becomes chronic and interferes with daily life. Anxiety disorders are characterized by excessive, persistent anxiety and can benefit from various treatments, including therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes.
Some of the main types of anxiety disorders are as follows:
  • Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD): Excessive worry and anxiety about various aspects of life
  • Panic disorder: Recurrent and unexpected panic attacks
  • Specific phobias: Intense fear of specific objects or situations
  • Social anxiety: An intense fear of social situations and a persistent worry about being judged or embarrassed in front of others.
  • Separation anxiety disorder: Excessive fear of separation from attachment figures, often seen in children.
Symptoms of anxiety can include:
  • Excessive worry, fear, and restlessness
  • Irritability
  • A sense of impending doom
  • Rapid heart rate and shortness of breath
  • Racing thoughts
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Avoiding anxiety-inducing situations or triggers
It’s important to understand that not everyone with anxiety will have all these symptoms, and their severity and duration can vary widely.
Teens and young adults may face different challenges, meaning that their anxiety symptoms can manifest differently. For example, young people may be anxious about school, friends, or future jobs. Also, anxiety can make young people feel more irritable, and they may take more risks. It’s important to notice these signs and connect people with support, like therapy, to prevent possible long-term issues.
Anxiety disorders are one of the most common mental health conditions globally. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that about 3.6% of people worldwide have an anxiety disorder. Anxiety can happen to anyone at any age, but it’s most commonly diagnosed in younger people and often begins in childhood.
The causes of anxiety vary from person to person, but it is believed to be a result of genetic, biological, and environmental factors. Genetic predisposition, brain chemistry imbalances, and chronic stress or trauma can all contribute to anxiety.
