Adjustment disorder therapy at Thriveworks in Blacksburg, VA helps people manage adjustment disorder, which is a condition characterized by emotional and/or behavioral symptoms that develop in response to an extremely stressful event.
Adjustment disorder therapy works by helping the individual to better manage stress, tap into healthier emotions and behaviors, and gain a clearer understanding of the stressful situation at hand. It also emphasizes the importance of social support and may incorporate relaxation training.
Adjustment disorder therapy from our Blacksburg therapists is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Adjustment disorder therapy typically lasts from a few weeks to a few months, as adjustment disorder rarely lasts longer than 6 months.
Adjustment disorder is a stress-related condition; plainly stated, it means that you are experiencing more than a “normal” amount of stress in response to a life change, unexpected event, or difficult circumstance. Further, this stress is causing you to experience significant issues in your relationships, your job, or at school.
Work-related problems, relocating, going away to school, illness, death of a friend or family member – all of these life changes, among others, can cause stress. Usually we adjust to such changes within a few months. But those with an adjustment disorder continue to suffer from feelings of anxiety, uncertainty, stress, and more. But you don’t have to go through it alone. The compassionate, caring counselors at Thriveworks Blacksburg have helped restore emotional balance to many people’s lives. If you could benefit from professional support, reach out to us today.
Adjustment disorder often will affect how you feel and think about yourself and the world around you. It may even affect your actions or behavior. You may be experiencing some of these symptoms:
Stressful life events put you at risk of developing an adjustment disorder. For example:
Although adjustment disorders are caused by major changes or stressors in your life, there are other factors such as genetics, life experiences, and even your temperament, that may increase your likelihood of developing an adjustment disorder.
If adjustment disorders do not resolve, they can possibly lead to more serious mental health problems such as anxiety disorders, depression or substance abuse.
Normal periods of stress are temporary, and as part of life, we simply learn to cope with them. Our stress level decreases if/when the source of the stress is removed. But what if the stressful event doesn’t go away, but remains a part of your life? What if a new stressful situation comes up, and you face the same emotional struggles all over again?
The therapists at Thriveworks Blacksburg want to offer you the support you need when you’re continuing to struggle or if you’re having trouble getting through each day. They want to help you cope with stressful events and feel stronger and more like yourself again. You don’t have to struggle. You don’t have to suffer. Call today at 540-376-3348 to schedule your session with a skilled, caring counselor, and start your journey to wellness.
