Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Petersburg, MI.

I primarily work on anxiety and stress from a discussion approach to understanding where the anxiety and stress begin and its cause. Then, together, we will work towards several ways to cope with the stress and anxiety in ways that are comfortable to you as a client. Working together as a team often helps reduce the stress many of us feel while learning ways to better deal.

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.

“You don’t have to control your thoughts. You just have to stop letting them control you.” This is a wonderful quote and exactly describes our work together. What could you do if you could stop being worried what others are thinking? If you could stop being focused on making others happy? If you could just be comfortable being you? Can you imagine waking up, looking at your planner, & just reflect on what the day will bring without that knot in your stomach or the loop of anxious thoughts in your head? It is possible. Together we will identify your anxiety, begin to understand it, & learn tools or skills to take control of it.

Overwhelmed? Constantly worrying? You don't have to handle it alone. We can discuss ways to calm the wave of worry and search the darkness of being overwhelmed.

Anxiety and stress are some of the most common concerns that clients bring to me in session.

I look forward to working with you on ways to calm your mind and experience the peace you are looking for.

Do you often feel stressed out, nervous, tense, fearful, or just plain "on edge"? Anxiety symptoms can have a significant impact on your day-to-day function. In addition to exploring the possible root causes of your anxiety, I can help you to develop practical stress management tools and coping skills to help ease your symptoms and improve you quality of life.

Anxiety and stress can be approached from two directions. One is aimed at symptom reduction - in other words, decreasing the feelings of anxiety and stress. 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.

The pressures of modern life in stressful times or situations can lower a shadow of despair over anyone's sense of well-being. These may manifest as problems with anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and/or the inability to maintain positive connections in personal relationships. My goal in therapy is to simply be present with my client in a very real way that assists them as they learn to access their own inner resources and reclaim meaningful equilibrium in their lives.
