Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Old Lyme, CT.

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.

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.

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.

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)

Stress is not only an internal problem but is evoked by environmental impingement such as family, business, and political currents. All individuals have varying levels of stress in their lives. One of the focuses of psychotherapy is to help with increasing a capacity to move through it. An enhanced capacity for imagination and creativity can be a result.

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.

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

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.

Anxiety and stress reflect our inability to cope with the conditions of our lives. While there are some aspects of our lives that we can actively change, often, what really needs to change, is our attitude towards these conditions. Together, we will sort through your daily experience and discover a more resourceful way of approaching your life. My integrative approach helps you to relax into your body and mind and listen to and trust in your inner guidance.
