Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Hanover, MA.

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.

My approach to treating anxiety and stress involves using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) to help clients manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life. I teach clients to identify and challenge negative thought patterns, practice mindfulness techniques, and develop healthy coping strategies. By providing a supportive and empathetic environment, I aim to help clients reduce their anxiety and stress levels, enhance their emotional resilience, and achieve greater overall well-being.

I believe anxiety and stress are for a large part the disconnection of the individual from their body and emotions, while they live a life in their head with minds spinning. Reconnecting a client to their bodies through mindfulness practices is one method I use to help with these stressors. This can also include building aspects of clients' physical activity such as exercise and creative expression. I also believe in integrating cognitive therapy to help shift unhelpful anxious thoughts about past and future which I consider to be the source of misery for many.

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.

I leverage a solution-based approach to clearly outline your primary challenge, work through an exercise to meditate on and define your future state and then work over 8 sessions to achieve it via homework and 1:1 sessions. Clients have experienced great success with this approach, my goal is to empower you - YOU have the answers and I want to help you find them.

There are many types of emotions deregulation that can cause anxiety. There are also many types of anxiety. Clients bring history of the disorder and anxiety assessment test is done to see where the fears are coming from. Relaxation, and other techniques will be use to teach clients the anxiety reduction skills. The use of exposure therapy is also will benefit clients when careful done in a safe environment.
