The other direction, which can be employed at the same time, helps the client to understand the underlying causes of anxiety and factors that create feelings of stress. We work to reduce stressful situations, and also on how to handle the inevitable stress and anxiety that life brings.

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.

While we all experience stress and anxiety to some degree, you're probably here because you feel like it is interfering with what you know could be a better life. You're right, and we can help. The key to our approach is rooted in our understanding that whatever is making your anxiety feel "extra" is probably about something beyond even your own awareness. We humans are very good at attaching our anxiety to something else in an effort to avoid even thinking about whatever it is that is truly making us anxious. Together, we can strengthen your understanding of what this is about for you, and your tendency to feel exaggerated stress and anxiety over smaller things should subside.

The first step to dealing with anxiety and stress is recognizing and understanding its source. Anxiety and stress are usually a response to a disconnect between what is and what you wish. We will work together to identify appropriate goals and set in motion a plan to achieve them. We will identify and work to overcome obstacles while including relaxation techniques and coping mechanisms.
