Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Crystal Lake, FL.

Children ages 3-ll suffer from anxiety and stress. Anxiety may manifest itself in excessive worry, trouble sleeping, irritability, and restlessness. I use client-centered play therapy in a safe environment, enabling the child to express his/her emotions and thoughts through play. Play Therapy uses play, a child's natural medium of expression, to help them express their feelings more easily through toys instead of words.

Constant worrying and feeling stressed out does not have to be your normal! Anxiety tells us that we need to avoid, avoid, avoid. We think if we avoid the things we fear, then the anxiety will go away but that's actually how we inadvertently make our anxiety worse. Through CBT and ERP, you will learn the tools to face your anxiety and increase your tolerance for the feelings that come along with it. 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.

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.
