Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, ADHD Mental Health Therapy for Adults and Teens
You’ve been struggling with depression or anxiety for what seems to be a lifetime. You keep thinking things will change on their own, or with help from medication. But they don’t. Even worse medication has left you feeling numb and has caused more anxiety and panic attacks to the point where you think you are dying. Perhaps you have experienced other negative side effects of medication including suicidal thoughts, weight gain, insomnia or many others. Either way, this sucks and you know it. But getting help for your problems was something that you never thought you would do because you aren’t one of ‘those’ people.
At Cardinal Point Dr. Teralyn, Amanda and Jenn all pride themselves on being therapists that treat you with respect and dignity no matter what your concerns are. They will also treat you as a whole person and not as a symptom. They not only specialize in therapy but also specialize in holistic methods to help you feel good again and relieve symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD and ADHD.
It’s time to live your best life starting today.
Individual Counseling for Adults & Teens

Unlike many other therapists, we are trained to take a holistic approach to mental health. What does this mean? It means that we don’t push medications. Our goal is to give you the tools to help you uncover and fix the root cause of your mental health concerns and fix them. We also focus on nutrition, sleep, movement and stress management to help you understand how to truly heal your brain and body.
Talk therapy can be a large part of your wellness goal.
Psychotherapy or counseling (sometimes called talk therapy) refers to a variety of treatments that aim to help you identify and change troubling emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.
You might seek out psychotherapy for many reasons, including (but not limited to) the following:
- Dealing with severe or long-term stress from a job or family situation, the loss of a loved one, or relationship or family problems
- Having symptoms with no physical explanation, such as changes in sleep or appetite, low energy level, lack of interest or pleasure in activities you once enjoyed, persistent irritability, excessive worry, or a sense of discouragement or hopelessness that won’t go away
- A health care provider suspecting you have or diagnosing you with a mental disorder that is interfering with your life
- Supporting a family member or child who has been diagnosed with a condition affecting their mental health
- Identifying ways to cope with stress and developing specific problem-solving strategies
- Examining a person’s interactions with others and teaching social and communication skills
- Applying mindfulness and relaxation techniques, such as meditation and breathing exercises
- Using exposure therapy (a type of CBT) for people with anxiety disorders, in which a person spends brief periods in a supportive environment learning to tolerate the distress caused by certain items, ideas, or imagined scenes until, over time, the fear associated with those things dissipates
- Tracking emotions and behaviors to raise awareness of their impact on each other
- Using supportive counseling to help explore troubling issues and receive emotional support
Our passion for holistic wellness and the interaction between nutrition and brain health sets us apart from other therapists. The connection has been clearly identified in the literature which is why we pride ourselves in helping you look at your life in a holistic way, because you are a WHOLE HUMAN.
