Do you have depression that keeps you from connecting with others or thriving in your career? Anxiety or stress that is crippling your life? Anger that gets in the way of relationships? Or perhaps your marriage or relationship seems to be crumbling. If any of these hits home with you, therapy will you. Whatever you may be facing today that keeps you from fully enjoying life, coming in for an assessment will either rule out any problems or help pinpoint what needs to be addressed.
We will then develop a treatment plan that is designed to get you back on track quickly. All are welcome here - gay and lesbian clients seeking to make better lives in a predominately heterosexual world; parents coping with pressures in the family or unsure of how to address their teens' unhealthy behavior; or people struggling for a way out of alcohol or drug addiction.
My work with teens and adults ranges from the most severe and chronic problem to problems requiring only brief counseling. Maesk Counseling is a full service center that treats you as an individual and supports your effort in seeking professional help.

Doug Maesk, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, offers therapy for anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, & PTSD.
Anxiety becomes a disorder when the symptoms become chronic and interfere with your daily life and your ability to function.
These symptoms may be severe and upsetting enough to make you feel extremely uncomfortable, out of control and helpless.
I use a technique called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a proven scientific method to reduce or eliminate symptoms and get you back to a happier mental state.

Clinical depression is more that just feeling "blue" from time to time.
It is a serious condition that affects a person's mind, body, and spirit and impacts every aspect of one's life.
Depression is one of the most common mental health conditions affecting almost 10% of the population each year.
If you feel you are suffering from depression, you may experience some, but not all, of these symptoms.
Also keep in mind that you may experience other symptoms.
Depression can also present in what may seem like odd ways - irritability in adolescents, for example.

Let's face it: drug counseling or alcohol treatment isn't the first thing you think of when you think of life in South Florida.
But if you are stuck in a pattern of harmful use of any substance for mood-altering purposes then you know the feeling of being trapped.
In addition to being physically addictive, some drugs can also be psychologically addictive.
And while drugs and alcohol may kill the physical and emotional pain of an addict's life, they also destroy one's perception of life.
Eventually drugs and alcohol make the addict or alcoholic numb to their entire lives.

Counseling and psychotherapy for gay, lesbian, bi, transgender and questioning adults and adolescents.
Being Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender or Questioning (GLBTQ), you have unique needs and concerns.
The GLBTQ community in the Fort Lauderdale area faces unique pressures from the underlying homophobia in our culture.
In addition, this homophobia can be internalized and become self hatred, isolation, and mistrust.
It can prevent the personal contentment necessary for a happy life and fulfilling relationships.

The parent-child relationship is extremely important to healthy adolescent development.
Unfortunately, in many families, this unique period of adolescence can push teenagers and their parents drastically apart.
Understanding the unique experiences of both parent and child can help families navigate this complicated period of transition.
Working with teens and families in Fort Lauderdale over the years, I have found many problem areas respond exceptionally well to adolescent therapy.
As an adolescent moves towards friends or other interests, the parent may feel a substantial loss in the parent-child relationship.
