Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Wauchula, FL.

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..

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.

All of us experiences stress in our lives. So, why would we pursue counseling for stress management. First and foremost, excess stress leads to poor health from headaches and digestion problems to heart disease, high blood pressure and stroke if left unmanaged for years. It negatively impacts your appearance by contributing to lack of sleep, poor diet and decreased exercise. It decreases your productivity at home, school and on the job because you are distracted and less organized. In the end, chronic stress and anxiety decrease your overall level of happiness. But, there are effective stress management techniques which I can help you learn and incorporate into your daily life.

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 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 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!

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.

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.
