Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Bay Harbor Islands, FL.

To help you combat anxiety issues, I use a combination of therapies tailored to your needs and strengths, including Cognitive- Behavioral (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution Focused, Adlerian, and Existential. We will work together to make the changes needed in thoughts and behaviors as you relearn new ways to cope with life. We will also take a deep dive into your lifestyle, sleep patterns, dietary habits and exercise routine. We’ll determine if we can make reasonable adjustments that will lessen your anxiety naturally and holistically.

I work with clients to externalize anxiety and stress; then to deconstruct their preferred view of themselves.

When possible family members may be recommended to join the session to assist the client in assessing his/her stories in arriving at desired changes.

Anxiety affects everyone.... And it's not always a bad thing. It can be motivating and protect you from danger. But when it starts to take over, it can negatively impact every aspect of your life, and present you from experiencing peace and joy. Therapy can help you figure out why you feel the way you do and what your triggers are so you can learn to manage your anxiety. I will teach you different techniques to use at home when you are starting to feel anxious. This will prevent the anxiety to escalate to a panic attack. Take control of your life and find the inner peace and calmness you desire and deserve.

As a high-achieving man, anxiety and stress comes with the territory. And you wouldn’t be where you are today in life unless you’ve handled it pretty well until now. But most successful men find that anxiety eventually impacts them. Whether it’s slowly been eating at you for years, or you’ve just experienced your first panic attack, you’re not going crazy. There are solutions, and this can get better. I help men learn practical stress-management techniques, but I don’t stop there. I also help them identify the root causes of their stress and anxiety, and use research-proven EMDR therapy to systematically target them. The results are measurable, evidenced by deeper calm and clarity of mind.

Constant worrying and feeling stressed out does not have to be your normal! Anxiety tells us that we need to avoid, avoid, avoid.

By facing your anxiety, you can make choices that lead to doing the things you love most. In therapy, you'll also learn coping skills and be able to express your worries in a supportive space.

At Family Counseling we help patients achieve freedom from anxiety (phobias, fear of flying, panic and agoraphobia) may be facilitated by encouraging the examination of unsettled and profoundly ingrained conflicts, often of an unconscious nature that are often displace onto “safer” objects or sitatuations, by questioning the veracity and effectiveness of cognitive distortions that emanate from these conflicts, and by empowering the person to modify behaviors that perpetuate the disorders. We also use EMDR as a powerful tool to reprocess memories and experiences that can be attached to disturbing feelings and negative and limiting views of self and others.

Problem with anxiety and stress is that the brain in this state knows you want to change it and it resists.

Are you a hard-working guy being crushed by stress? Stress, anxiety, burnout, and addiction are all predictable outcomes when stress gets too high.
