Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Warren, CT.

I counsel patients with anxiety and stress incorporating exercise, spirituality and meditation. First we identify the source of the stress and then identify as many factors as possible to alleviate the stress. Counseling identifies all the factors that are out of the patients control.Learning to live with stress and living life on lives terms. Talking about problems, identifying positive responses and alternative solutions. Writing out solutions and writing to identify the problem. Life is meant to be happy, joyful and free.

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.

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.

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 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.
