Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in DeLand, FL.

Anxiety and Stress are a part of everyday life. Often, they have a reciprocal relationship with each other. Simply put, anxiety is the discrepancy between where you want to go and where you are. I approach anxiety in a unique way. I treat anxiety as if it is the body's alarm system. In addition to helping alleviate the immediate symptoms of anxiety I will work to help you harness the energy of your anxiety. You can use that energy to help accomplish your goals.

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.

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.

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.

I use cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based approaches to anxiety. I provide psychoeducation on the neurochemical and brain structure basis for anxiety, and guidance in how to train your brain to reduce anxious thoughts and to help stay in the moment. I use relaxation and breathing techniques and other coping skills to reduce the impact and intensity of the anxiety so that clients can overcome it.

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 is a state of mental tension and physical symptoms that can exhaust us. It is our body’s response to our perception of a threat. This includes phobias, worry and panic attacks. Many times our anxiety is triggered by a recent event that is connected to a painful event from our past. We can’t change our past. However, we can change how the past is affecting us today. With every hurtful event comes emotional pain and a negative belief about you. In psychotherapy with me, that event can be processed in a way that removes the pain and replaces the negative belief with a positive belief of your choosing. This can reduce and eliminate the symptoms of Anxiety and Stress. See emdr.com

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.
