Develop the skills you need to gain control in your life.
Therapy Services in Columbia, Missouri
You feel out of control and your emotions hit you like a tidal wave. You feel like you can’t “handle” emotions the way others do. The way you cope in those moments leaves you with a shame hangover. At The Current, we can help you learn to ride that wave of emotion instead of drowning in it. We can help you develop a new way of dealing with painful emotions.
Do any of these sound like you?
You have perfectionistic or people pleasing tendencies.
You feel anxious much of the time and don’t know how to stop worrying or how to relax.
You feel depressed and lonely a lot.
You want to have closer relationships with people but feel scared to be vulnerable.
You’ve suffered painful experiences in your childhood or adult life that you can’t stop thinking about.
You sometimes feel out of control with your emotions and your behaviors.
You feel like you have to work harder than others to keep up or appear on top of it all.
You’re trying to cope by using disordered eating behaviors, substances, or self-injury, but they don’t seem to be as effective anymore.
If any of these statements resonated with you, then we know how to help. You want to feel more like yourself, more in control of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, but instead, you’re stuck in a cycle that you don’t want to be in. Life doesn’t have to be this way.
Here for you.
Therapy can help and you can feel better. The Current was created specifically with you in mind. Our team of therapists love working with people who have these particular struggles. People that have intense behaviors and emotions. People that maybe have been in therapy for years and nothing has seemed to work. People that have a difficult time connecting with others or feel that they are “too much” for the people in their lives. Our therapists have dedicated their careers to learning and fine tuning evidence-based practices that were designed to help you. You are in the right place.
Our clients walk away from therapy with us feeling more aligned with their authentic selves, more in control of their thoughts, emotion, and behaviors. They have the ability to connect with themselves and with others in a meaningful way. Our clients feel that they have a life that’s worth living.
