Mastering Moods
Mastering Moods is designed specifically for individuals who have been diagnosed with depression, bipolar or anxiety disorders.
About The Program
Mastering Moods explores depression and anxiety and introduces clients to evidence-based coping skills to manage their moods and anxiety in order to cope with everyday life in a more functional and productive way. Participants will also come to understand their symptoms through processing childhood issues and unresolved trauma.
Clients are encouraged to understand and express their emotions and share their inner dialogue to uncover their vulnerabilities within the safety of the group.
Many individuals experience depression, bipolar and / or anxiety and feel as though no one understands them. This is an opportunity to build a community of support and under the guidance of our experienced and qualified therapists.
This program is facilitated by qualified and experienced clinicians who provide a wealth of knowledge and support in mental health recovery.
