Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Union Park, FL.

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.

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.

Anxiety and stress must be addressed before your health is compromised. I will help you get to the root causes of your anxiety and stress so you can be set free. Many fears come from limiting beliefs that we have had since childhood. By understanding these beliefs, we can begin to replace them with truth and help you sleep better, have less negative thoughts and fears and start feeling better.

I use a variety approaches to work with anxiety and stress ranging from Mindfulness practices to EMDR to Emotional Freedom Technique to journaling to a gratitude practice. I have very good results with my clients because a part of my approach is to help them to accept the reality of anxiety and stress in their lives and then we undergo an investigation to look at their reactions and then develop a new, more functional plan that absolutely eliminates becoming angry at the self for feeling anxious or fearful, this only serves to create more anxiety and potentially depression.

Different levels of fear at various times in our lives are common. Whether the resulting feelings are a mild level of stress/worry or whether these feelings are at a high level, these anxious thoughts and feelings are like weeds threatening to take over the garden of our lives. Anxiety/stress can be all consuming. Dr. Hobbie would like to assist you with the stress that interferes with your daily life. Help is available to gain a perspective and address the discouraging effects of stress that can immobilize. He will help you identify specific 'weeds in your garden' and ways to overcome them. He will help you break free from the bondage of fear and to find the courage to live life in freedom.

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.

As a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist for over 18 years, my main area of expertise is treating anxiety disorders, including Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, panic and phobias. I understand the crippling effects anxiety can have, ultimately making someone a prisoner inside their own head. Based on research demonstrating its efficacy, I utilize a form of treatment known as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, aimed at challenging irrational thoughts and behavior, ultimately teaching clients to confront their fears and begin to live a life not controlled by anxiety and panic.

For those who suffer from anxiety and stress it can be difficult to get through a day! I work with my clients to organize the challenges that need to be conquered as well as find ways to manage overwhelming emotions in order to not only survive, but to succeed. Learning how to manage stress, practice self care, and find balance will be key. It's important to not only understand but to also actively practice.

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.

Everyone feels anxiety at some point in their lives but when it starts to interfere with your life, counseling can help. Although anxiety can feel debilitating, it is treatable. People with anxiety don’t always share the same symptoms, they vary from person to person. Therapy will help you to reclaim your life and function in a chronically stressful world.

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!

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.

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.

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.

For nearly twenty years the majority of my practice has been based in caring for people experiencing anxiety and stress in highly demanding settings. As a therapist, I continuously strive to grow in my knowledge and skills to offer stress and anxiety reduction while also providing clients with the tools, resources, and skills to mitigate and manage stress well as it comes. I incorporate mindfulness into my approach while being intentional in getting to the core issues related to a person's symptomology.

Are stressors at work, anxiety in your personal life, panic attacks or phobias getting in your way? This does not have to continue, and there are options available other than medication. Depending on your situation you could experience significant improvement in as soon as three sessions. I provide a safe and private environment for you to work through it at your own pace. I also offer counseling sessions by phone if that is your preference. Please get in touch so we can discuss your situation and determine if/how I can help.

Jennifer encourages clients suffering from anxiety and/or stress to do an evaluation of the factors in their life that is causing the stress or anxiety. This is a starting point on the journey to deciding if some life changes are necessary to alleviate the problem. Jennifer will also evaluate the need for medication and will work with the prescribing doctor if necessary.

While most treatment approaches for anxiety and stress are effective on the surface, they dont treat the real problem. Mantras, deep breathing, and rational dialogues about your fear being irrational rarely work---for most people dont 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.
