Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in East Haddam, CT.

Anxiety and stress are some of the most common concerns that clients bring to me in session. The constant worry of how to get everything done, while navigating a pandemic, in an ever-changing world can seem overwhelming at times. You are not alone. Whether you are looking for help with your daily challenges or feel like stress and anxiety are impacting your relationships, I can help. I look forward to working with you on ways to calm your mind and experience the peace you are looking for.

We live in an anxious and stressful society. This is an area in which I feel most people can benefit from having a therapist who has this specialty. I have spent many years learning this specialty and people who follow my suggestions report back substantial improvements in their stress levels as their anxiety decreases. I utilize multiple theories in an integrated approach to be able to work with a wide variety of situations w/in this category.

While most treatment approaches for anxiety and stress are effective on the surface, they don’t treat the real problem. Mantras, deep breathing, and rational dialogues about your fear being irrational rarely work---for most people don’t believe it or you! Imagine if you can trick the brain into changing without you telling your conscious mind that you are changing it? Problem with anxiety and stress is that the brain in this state knows you want to change it and it resists.

We all live with some type of anxiety, at ASD Center for Therapeutic Services we have many different clinicians with differing approaches to dealing with Anxiety. Whether it is working with a Hypnotherapist, someone assisting with one on one meditation or Accelerated Resolution Therapy. We have many ways of helping you to relax.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to teach clients the necessary tools to manage their anxiety and stress. I will teach you breathing and relaxation techniques along with tools to change your thinking and how you perceive situations. We will work on building self-esteem and self-compassion, as well as silencing your inner critic.

I assist adults in understanding causes of their current anxiety and identify the triggers that lead them to an anxious state. Teaching you how to mitigate your anxiety through positive strategies, breathing techniques, and nutritional and physical exercises, has been a primary focus of my 30+ years of clinical practice. I assist children/adolescents in helping them to build the courage to approach what they would rather avoid, minimizing their fear and maximizing their ongoing capacity to take risks throughout their lives. Early intervention is key in minimizing the impact of anxiety throughout a lifetime.

Perhaps the first intervention I normally do with my clients surrounding stress and anxiety and identifying it's purpose. That's right! Imagine a world without stress or anxiety and we perhaps would never get out of bed in the morning. Typically, anxiety is due to fear of the unknown and stress often comes from having too much on our plates. When it comes to most changes in our lives, the more we want to change all at once means the less likely we are to accomplish anything

Anxiety is something I have studied extensively for approximately a decade and a half. I have seen many people in that time who have come in with moderate to major anxiety, and left with mild to no (not beyond a normal healhty level) anxiety. This is an area I can truly consider myself a specialist and this belief is only enhanced furhter by the many positive comments I have received from current and former clients.
