Counseling Services in Andover and the Merrimack Valley
At Merrimack Valley Psychological Associates, our counseling services in Andover support a range of ages and mental health challenges.
Counseling Specialties at Merrimack Valley Psychological Associates
Our professionals specialize in treating adolescents ages 12-18 and college-age individuals ages 18-25. These phases of life often include difficult transitions that could lead to intense emotions such as fear, sadness and anger. Whether you’re trying to form your identity or grappling with your purpose in the world, our Andover counseling services can support you throughout your experiences.
Our team includes various young professionals who can relate to your age-related concerns. Forming a connection with our patients is one way we create a safe environment for vulnerability and growth.
Beyond these pivotal age groups, our team also has experience working with children, adults, families and couples.
Conditions We Help and Services We Offer in Massachusetts
We’re proud to offer a range of treatment options for various mental health challenges, and our clinicians cater their counseling plan to your needs. We also work with a range of conditions, from complex mood disorders to grief, assessing your unique needs and finding the best way to help you.
Take a look at some of the conditions we commonly treat and how we work through them with you.
Anxiety
Anxiety, ranging from general anxiety to specified anxiety such as PTSD, can be a pervasive experience at any age. Fear and worry may make you feel limited in your everyday life, but our team can help you understand your anxiety disorder and identify healthy ways to cope with overwhelming feelings.
Depression
When you experience depression, you may deal with unexplainable sadness and a loss of passion for things you once loved. It can be challenging to navigate these heavy feelings on your own, whether brought on by a traumatic experience or family history. Our clinicians can help identify healthy coping mechanisms and provide a newfound sense of hope.
Grief and Loss
When you lose something or someone of value, you may encounter a rollercoaster of feelings that can be hard to manage on your own. We can help you process your loss, find your way to acceptance and experience the joy you deserve.
Stress Management
While stress can be healthy in the right situation, it may become unmanageable when it’s constant. Stress can also take a toll on your physical and mental health, making it vital to get treatment when it gets out of hand. When you work with us, we can find ways to help release your tension and free you of the negative side effects of stress.
Our Andover therapists provide other services that include treatment for:
- Addiction and recovery.
- Anger and self-injury.
- Learning disabilities.
- Conflict within families or among a couple.
