Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in DeFuniak Springs, FL.

Anxiety can be mild or debilitating. I have had great success in healing anxiety disorders. OCD and PTSD are also related to anxiety. Anxiety can be caused by trauma or growing up in a dysfunctional family. No matter what the root, I can help you feel better and take your life back from anxiety. Children have anxiety as well. This can cause poor grades or even school failure. I love helping children overcome this confusing issue and I give them the tools to face their fears and regain their previous level of functioning, or get to a higher level of functioning. Don't let anxiety stop you!

Stress is a normal part of everyone's lives, however, when left unmanaged it can become overwhelming. We help our clients to manage stress and reduce anxious symptoms by holding safe therapeutic space for them to work through difficult emotions and experiences in a supportive environment. Anxiety can be caused by many different factors and can be temporary or chronic. Processing traumatic experiences and gaining perspective into what is contributing to your symptoms can shed light on how to lessen the severity and have more good days than bad. We will utilize therapy techniques tailored to your specific needs to assist you in making progress.

We hold our anxiety and stress in our body. We feel tension, gut problems, hot flashes, disrupted sleep and more. I work with anxiety and stress by helping individuals learn and develop tools to re-regulate their nervous system. When we have a coherent and fluid nervous system, we can do difficult things without feeling paralyzed by overwhelming fear.

Are you nervous a lot of the time? Isn’t it uncomfortable? And it doesn’t help to just be told to ‘calm down’. I am a highly trained clinical psychologist with years of both academic and clinical experience. I truly empathize with your emotional state(s) and can assist in improving your overall quality of life. How might this look? First, when you and I meet, you get support and time to just chat. This in itself can begin to lessen one’s stress. Together we can locate exactly what is making you anxious, and why. And then you and I create ways of decreasing your nervousness, and increasing your comfort level! Life can start to feel better when one’s anxiety is properly attended to.

Are you a hard-working guy being crushed by stress? Stress, anxiety, burnout, and addiction are all predictable outcomes when stress gets too high. In my experience, men are often misunderstood and under-appreciated... even by their own wives and children. The good news is that you don’t have to slowly suffer and fade off into the sunset. You were created for more than this, and even strong men need support from time to time. You’ve shown your grit through the ups and downs of life. You’ve already been through a lot. But getting professional help shows a different kind of toughness, and if right now you’re buckling under the weight of life, it’s time to take the next step. I’m here to help.

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.

Anxiety can affect your life in so many ways. Anxiety can keep you from reaching out for that relationship, or attempting for a better job. Anxiety can be healthy, but when you have too much it reduces your life. I really understand anxiety and stress, and can give you the tools and self-esteem to roam freely though this world, being all that you were meant to be. Let's do this!
