Dr. Timothy Sharp & Associates is proud to offer Cognitive therapy programs for depression and anxiety
Helping you to feel better.

• Have you been feeling low lately?  
• Are you dissatisfied with your life?
• Do daily chores seem to overwhelm you and do you feel you just can't handle things any more?
• Are your worries affecting your sleep?
• What about anxious, stressed or tense?
• Do you ever feel afraid, or do you avoid situations or activities because you fear something terrible might happen?
• Do your fears, worries or anxieties control your life more than you would like them to?

If you've been feeling "out of sorts", depressed, anxious or just not quite right, then you're not alone. In fact approximately a quarter of the population experiences a significant degree of depression or anxiety at one or more times in their life.
