Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Riverview, FL.

Anxiety and stress therapy with me is indeed a unique experience. Several assessment tools are used including an accountability chart which guides healthy life balance. Other effective forms of treatment include anxiety management, cognitive therapy and exposure therapy. With anxiety management I teach patients skills that will help them cope. Skills taught include relaxation training, breathing retraining, positive thinking, assertiveness training and thought stopping. Cognitive therapy helps clients change irrational beliefs that interfere with psychological functioning and create emotional disturbances. With Exposure therapy I encourage clients to confront stress/anxiety symptom triggers.

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.

Using CBT, REBT, and a combination of relaxation and stress reduction techniques, I am prepared to help you decrease anxiety and achieve a greater sense of calm and equanimity. Anxiety disorders are among the most treatable mental health conditions. Anxiety and worry can often be meaningfully lessened by learning to face and feel the anxiety without engaging in avoidance behaviors and getting caught up in what's known as negative reinforcement. Anxiety is a thief of time and I value the opportunity to help you put anxiety in it's place.

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.

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 and stress are prevalent in American society and are taking a toll on our health when not well managed. It is correlated with numerous health issues including cardiovascular problems, digestive problems, inflammation, some cancers, and weight gain. While we may, at times, be unable to avoid stressful situations, we can learn skills to help manage it. Through cognitive behavior therapy, people can learn and develop skills to manage the body's exposure to the harmful effects of stress and the thought patterns contributing to maintenance or escalation of stressful feelings..

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.

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.

Anxiety appears to possess a life of its own. The fear of experiencing anxiety further begets anxiety, often culminating in panic. What's the appropriate course of action when confronted with anxiety, stress, and panic? It seems that every attempt makes it worse. Anxiety, stress, and panic attacks seem to happen for no apparent reason, accompanied by an urgent need to "do something" to stop them. I work alongside clients to understand the reason. I guide clients to understand their lives, uncover anxiety's roots, and create a safe space while equipping them with valuable coping skills.

Anxiety and stress are some of the most common concerns that clients bring to me in session. The constant worry of how to get everything done, while navigating a pandemic, in an ever-changing world can seem overwhelming at times. You are not alone. Whether you are looking for help with your daily challenges or feel like stress and anxiety are impacting your relationships, I can help. I look forward to working with you on ways to calm your mind and experience the peace you are looking for.

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 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!
