Individuals
Carder works with adults, teenagers and adolescents on a variety of mental health issues including:
Anxiety
Anxiety is the most common of all human emotions. Most people
experience fear on a regular basis. Carder helps his client’s face
their fears. He demonstrates that fear does not have power, but is simply
a construct of the human mind. He teaches deep breathing exercises, guided
relaxation and meditation. Many people’s fears stem
from worries about the future or thoughts about the past. Carder helps
his client’s stay present and focused on the here and now.
Depression
Depression may be present for years before it is addressed. Many
people feel sad and hopeless and do not know why. Carder works with
his clients to uncover the source of the depression. Negative feelings
often grow from distorted beliefs about the past. Carder will help to
reframe these old beliefs and provide a healthier perspective and more
positive outlook.
Low Self Esteem
Low Self Esteem is usually a result of not knowing how to move
forward. Many people feel stuck in their lives and have no idea that
change is possible. Carder will help to create the blueprint for a new
beginning. He encourages his clients to become aware of the actions
that make them feel good about themselves. These esteemable acts are
the key to a new found freedom and healthy sense of self.
Anger
Anger is one of the most powerful human emotions. Many people allow
anger to govern their lives and are paralyzed in a state of constant
dissatisfaction. When people feel angry they give away their power to
others. Carder helps his clients reclaim their power by diffusing the
ideas that lay underneath the anger. He teaches a method that soothes
the frustration and allows for a new understanding to take its place.
Grief
Grief is usually associated with feelings of loss. Grief may be
present when a person loses a job, moves to a new city, feels the
effects of aging, or goes through a break up. It may also be felt
during the death of a loved one. When people lose anything important
they move through various stages of grief. These stages include
depression, anger, denial, bargaining and acceptance. Carder has
worked with many clients during their grieving process. He offers
support, empathy, kindness and understanding.
