Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Mahomet, IL.

CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) is considered best practice to address anxiety disorders in general and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder in particular. I customize CBT, including Exposure Response Prevention (EXRP) strategies to each individual by identifying obsessive themes and compulsive rituals, generating a hierarchy with SUDS (subjective units of distress scales), and guiding individuals through a systematic process of working through their hierarchy to reduce or eliminate their obsessions and compulsions. A similar approach can be applied to reduce or eliminate panic episodes, and identify triggers and improve coping strategies for generalized anxiety and stress responses.

In my psychotherapy practice, I offer a compassionate and supportive environment for addressing anxiety and stress. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and personalized strategies to help patients manage symptoms effectively. Through our work together, patients gain tools to reduce anxiety, enhance coping skills, and improve overall well-being. The benefits of my anxiety and stress treatment include increased resilience, better emotional regulation, and a more balanced, fulfilling life.

Anxiety can go by many names - fear, shyness, worry, etc. It can be a functional part of life when it is managed, but when it is not, it can be detrimental to your sense of security. We explore what may be feeding you anxiety and try to help you break unhealthy associations. In doing so, we promote self-confidence, self-compassion, and resilience. Oftentimes and over time, it is a surprise to see how much you have overcome.
