Depression & Anxiety
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, in a given year, approximately 20.9 million American adults, or about 9.5 percent of the U.S. population age 18 and older have a mood disorder. Depressive disorders often co-occur with anxiety disorders and substance abuse. Each year, approximately 40 million American adults ages 18 and older have an anxiety disorder.
These symptoms don’t have to rule your life. They often respond well to psychological treatment. As a clinical psychologist, Dr. Wise has helped numerous people to overcome depression and anxiety.
Divorce Adjustment
Divorce can be one of the most difficult and overwhelming events an individual may ever experience. It can trigger a rollercoaster of emotions and leave one feeling depressed, anxious, hurt, angry, or confused. Divorce often brings uncertainty and fear of the future. Research shows that divorce can place people at increased risk for depression, health problems, life dissatisfaction and substance abuse. Dr. Wise can help you mitigate these risks, recover from this experience, and reclaim your life.

They can find themselves unable to sleep or relax. Sometimes these health problems greatly affect one’s livelihood, career and cherished activities.
