There are many ways to treat anxiety/stress. There are the typical coping skills and I specialize in these. I will walk you through deep breathing, visualizations and PMR. There are things that you can do to calm your nervous system. Sometimes anger is also at the root of the cause of anxiety. So addressing past issues and working through anger would be beneficial. If someone just wants coping skills, then coping skills it is.

Problems with anxiety can manifest in many ways. Panic attacks, obsessive compulsive disorders, avoiding certain situations or places, and how we interact with others. Getting to the core of the anxiety with EMDR can help clients process the event that has created the anxiety desensitizing its triggers to help the client move past the traumatic event. Children can also experience worry and anxiety. These may include things such as problems with friends, problems in school, worry about the future or their parent’s relationship. Getting help is the first step to making change.

Anxiety and stress can be overwhelming and exhausting. It can limit your ability to function and enjoy life.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder is a particularly difficult condition to cope with, since people with this disorder experience a sense of severe anxiety almost all the time.

At Options, we strive to focus on your entire person, not just the symptoms you are experiencing.

Anxiety and stress are common parts of modern life. Jobs, school, families, and partners can all combine to leave us feeling overwhelmed and as if we can't get everything done. And if you have a perfectionist tendency, then you may feel extra anxiety that no matter what you do or how hard you work, you will never be good enough. The keys to reducing anxiety and stress are self-acceptance, learning to let things go, and learning to relax and stay calm. You might not be able to "do it all", but you can learn to stop worrying so much, do what you can, and enjoy life!

Anxiety is fear taken to the extreme. It shuts people down or causes them to try to control. It may make us fret and rob us of joy (we get stressed out). Our answer to it is often self-sufficiency (defensive strategies) which does not work. I use biblio therapy (reading materials), cognitive therapy, and physiological relaxation strategies, along with Truth to know who we are and to increase one's resilience to be vulnerable in a healthy way. Better boundary setting may be essential, etc.

Anxiety is a physiological response to a real or perceived threat. Counseling can help with anxiety by seeking to understand and eliminate that threat and by providing useful coping strategies when anxiety strikes. Benefits include a less frequent and intense experience of anxiety symptoms and the development of skills for handling them when they do occur. One important benefit of working with a counselor on your anxiety is being able to talk about it without feeling judged. I help clients with anxiety find answers to their own questions without judgment.

Stress and anxiety are like a snowball that gets bigger and more daunting with each revolution and addition of new snow. Stress and anxiety are rooted in our core beliefs and manifest in irrational thinking patterns. I can help by teaching symptom coping skills, challenging and changing core beliefs and identifying and resolving irrational thinking patterns.

As a therapist, I know that positive thinking alone and relaxation breathing alone will not resolve your anxiety. I have helped clients with generalized anxiety, social anxiety, presentation anxiety, interview anxiety, and anxiety related to accidents or traumatic events. "Kalpana helped me tremendously to get through a difficult time and helped me see how all the anxiety I have experienced most of my life was linked to early unresolved childhood trauma. My anxiety is still way down and not all-consuming the way it used to be. The therapy I did with Kalpana has helped me more than any other therapy I've done in my whole life. I finally feel "unstuck" and able to move forward".

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.

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.
