Mary Alice Radtke specializes in several therapeutic treatment areas including:
Communication is one of the most important ways of expressing and understanding what
we need, and what others need, in a relationship. Many of us have damaged a wonderful
relationship without even realizing it, either by words or thoughtless actions. It may
be the relationship between a husband and wife, a parent and child or between friends.
Mary Alice knows that identifying the problem and having a desire to heal the
broken bond is the first step in mending the relationship. Problems in communication
can be complicated by feelings of resentment, repressed anger, hostility and hurt. With
support, encouragement and healthy communication skills, many relationships can end up
even stronger than before. If you or your loved ones are aware of problems in your relationship, therapy may help.
Anxiety, depression, and grief can rob a person of a happy, fulfilling life.
Unable to talk openly to family and friends about their feelings, many people
will isolate themselves and sink deeper into despair. A depressed or anxious
state can cause the normal ups and downs of any relationship to be more difficult.
Symptoms may include:
- Depressed or sad mood
- Constant feeling of fatigue
- Loss of energy or enthusiasm
- Feeling worthless
- Lack of interest in normal activities
- Changes in sleep patterns
- Difficulty concentrating
- Feeling guilty
- Thoughts of suicide
Getting appropriate treatment can make your life better. Mary Alice
is a therapist skilled and experienced at finding solutions that can break
the patterns of anxiety, depression, and grief.
We live in stressful times, with the demands of work, family, and personal relationships pulling
us in many different directions. It is not surprising that people are unable to control or
appropriately express their anger. While an explosion of anger might be cathartic for the
person, yelling and screaming ultimately has its victims.
No one likes to be around someone raging
out of control. Therapy can teach the skills to express anger and resolve conflict in a healthy way.
Therapy can offer communincation skills and behavior techniques to help get past
the problems. Mary Alice can teach the skills necessary to resolve conflict so it leads
to a mutually beneficial solution.
Trauma is an emotional shock that can create substantial and lasting damage
to a person's psychological development. Trauma can result from mental
or emotional stress or injury. Sexual abuse, incest, death, violence, rape,
injury, and accidents are some of the many things associated with trauma.
Unfortunately trauma is a fact of life, something over which we have little
control. Mary Alice can teach the skills necessary to recover and heal
through therapy.
