Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in North Canaan, CT.

At any moment in your life you are either in forward gear chasing a dream or you are in reverse running away from a nightmare. When you suffer from anxiety and stress you are constantly running away from nightmares, always trying to prevent something bad from happening. It’s like trying to drive your car in reverse most of the time. Its not a good way to drive your car and its not a good way to live your life. I use intensive 90-minute and 3-HOUR SESSIONS to find the roots of your anxiety and resolve them from the bottom-up so that you can get back to chasing those really important dreams and moving forward in your life.

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. Contact Kevin@kevinfleminphd.com for the ultimate stress and anxiety solution that will literally change your brain's autonomic nervous system patterns while you sit on your butt. 877-606-6161.

Isn't it impossible to go through life and not experience anxiety and stress sometimes? A lyric from the song, "Sunny Side of the Street" comes to me in relation to worry and anxiety: "leave your troubles at the doorstep." Of course, this isn't always easy, or even possible. When you're anxious, your body is stressed, and you may get headaches or stomach aches. Coming in for a session will help you listen to your body. Its tension is a message that we will decode together. Sometimes outside stress triggers old reactions, and your body takes a bigger hit than it would if you were only reacting to what's outside. By coming to see me, you will benefit by learning to manage your anxiety.

When people tell you that your anxiety is “all in your head” they are wrong. The parasympathetic nervous system puts your body in a calm state when your sympathetic nervous system reacts to a stimulus or event that puts you on high alert and sends you into fight or flight. Anxiety can be a driving force in our lives but when it begins to get in the way of living a peaceful life, it’s time to make a change. Using psychotherapy, CBT, relaxation exercises, and many other therapeutic strategies, we can create a plan for you to identify stressors and calm yourself. You have the power to make change.

Our world seems to be in quite the hurry with ever increasing demands on our time and resources. It is important to learn how to juggle all of these demands and practice re-prioritizing our life. Putting family and relationships first can be challenging yet paramount. Actively using progressive relaxation, meditation, and hypnosis aids in anxiety and stress management.

Anxiety can take over your life. All you think about is the negative, something bad happening, and the constant state of worry. Know there is help out there and we will work together to identify these thoughts, feeling, which can impact behaviors. Making this shift in thinking is a huge aspect of anxiety treatment so each of our therapists are highly training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which is the gold standard of anxiety treatment.

I help couples identify the triggers to their anxiety and develop a system to deal with stress before it deals with them! What would your life be like as a couple if you weren't continually activated in negative ways by stress? We will work together to make small steps toward change. Clients report less chronic pain when they are managing anxiety in healthy ways. It is possible to reduce anxiety and live life in a more vivid way, even if you situation is not optimal. I can teach you both to acknowledge and release these negative thoughts, thus releasing the "trauma" that has built up in your body (stored stress and anxiety)

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.

Anxiety and stress can lead to health problems, poor decision making, and emotional stress. I work with the client to decrease the fear of anxiety, and help the client improve their "tools" to develop to make them more confident in their daily living, relationships, and decision making. My goal is to empower the client to help improve their lifestyle, and make for a more rewarding future.

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.
