Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Cicero, IN.

My approach to anxiety and stress first involves identifying the source or root causes. Using a solution focused approach we will identify what areas of life can be changed or controlled to reduce the anxiety. We will then identify areas that cannot be changed or controlled and implement coping strategies which may be either cognitive and/or behavioral in nature. I use Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy to address distorted thinking and help develop healthy coping strategies for anxiety, panic attacks and phobias. We will establish collaborative and quantifiable treatment goals in order to track progress and reach agreed upon objectives so that change can be realized.

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 is becoming more and more common in today's stressful world. We live at a fast, never-ending pace with high expectations and frustrating outcomes. It can be so difficult to work through the anxiety you experience while still maintaining all of the other aspects of your life. I use a mindfulness-based therapy method called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) that has been proven through research to help with anxiety and stress. I love helping my clients who struggle with anxiety to find ways to manage those anxious feelings and thoughts and pursue the things that are most meaningful to them.

Anxiety is another word for fear. Let's face it, living your life in fear is no fun! Like anxiety, stress is about a fear of the future and what it holds, and an over-belief in the illusion of control. Too much of a future-focus causes feelings of worry and panic that keep us from living with peace-filled hearts. This unbalance can be corrected at the core level, healing the causes of the feelings of anxiety. The product I sell is peace. Inner peace. A quietness in your spirit that you've only dreamed of. I can help you find it.

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 and stress can be crippling for anyone - children and teens included. Whether it is related to school, friends, work, or home, I try to help my clients find the best solutions to easing their stress and anxiety and teach them how to prevent and/or cope with it in the future. Often times, this can include time management, expressing needs more effectively, and utilizing relaxation techniques. For children, this may involve a plan that utilizes teachers, school counselors, or other school officials who can help in a time of stress or anxiety at school.
