Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Andover, MN.

Anxiety can be paralyzing! Feeling stressed, irritable, overwhelmed, confused and in a panic can be very draining and disabling to your life. While we work together, we can come to learn about these feelings and situations that bring rise to the anxiety. I am a psychologist trained to treat anxiety and stress to assist you in new coping skills. Reaching out for professional help can begin the process so you do not have to feel so helpless and alone. Feel free to call to set up a time for therapy for yourself. Life does not have to always be stressful.

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 has a tremendous impact on the people that struggle with it, as well as the people around them. It saps the energy from their life. Anxiety is fear. Anxiety focuses on the future. In therapy, we try to identify what the fear is and how best to work through it. There are a number of different treatment approaches including talk therapy, exposure therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Somatic Experiencing (SE).

My approach to managing anxiety is twofold. I first evaluate your situation & understand the external factors that impact you. Next we design and implement a plan to address those factors. Skills like assertiveness, and limit setting may be used to deal with the external stressors. The second thing we do is increase your coping skills. We can use specific behavioral plans, changing self-talk, letting go, and using social supports to increase your resiliency. Stress reduction methods such as meditation, exercise, spiritual resources, and breathing exercises may be used. With time and some effort, you will find that your self-doubt and anxiety will be replaced will confidence & self-esteem.

I'll help you learn how to manage anxiety and stress so they don't feel so overwhelming. Some people are genetically "wired" to be more anxious or vulnerable to stress and worry. Loss and difficult experiences also contribute to a heightened state of anxiety. Understanding the sources of your anxiety and stress, and connecting with thoughts and behaviors that enhance your internal sense of well-being will allow you to live with anxiety or stress rather than feeling over-run by them. I teach mindfulness and relaxation techniques as part of reducing anxiety and managing stress.

The impact of anxiety & stress on a person's life can often tumble into a form of numb debilitation! But staying stuck here does not have to be the answer of the rest of your life. I work with my clients to understand the reasons for the anxiety & stress and we work toward building healthy coping skills that can help to reduce, and manage, the overall impact of these symptoms.

Stress and anxiety are part of everyday life but when they get overwhelming and they affect daily functioning a therapist can help you manage it. Therapy for anxiety can be very helpful to indentify what thoughts are adding to your anxiety and to teach you how to think differently to calm yourself down. Counseling can help you to identify which life events planted the seeds of panic or anxiety in you.

Are you a hard-working guy being crushed by stress? Stress, anxiety, burnout, and addiction are all predictable outcomes when stress gets too high. In my experience, men are often misunderstood and under-appreciated... even by their own wives and children. The good news is that you don’t have to slowly suffer and fade off into the sunset. You were created for more than this, and even strong men need support from time to time. You’ve shown your grit through the ups and downs of life. You’ve already been through a lot. But getting professional help shows a different kind of toughness, and if right now you’re buckling under the weight of life, it’s time to take the next step. I’m here to help.

Anxiety and stress can have an impact on all aspects of our lives. When they are at appropriate levels, they can be helpful, but when they are too present, problems arise. I help people who come to see me identify how much stress is too much, and provide tools they can use to manage more effectively. I use brain based science and mindfulness techniques to help reduce the negative impact anxiety and stress have on people's lives.

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.

We offer counseling for people struggling with feelings of stress or anxiety. Sometimes this can look like irritability or a need to control.

We all feel stressed from time to time, but when feeling anxious becomes a way of life, it can interfere with our ability to enjoy life. Do you commonly feel on edge, have racing thoughts that won't turn off, have difficulty sleeping, or just feel that you would like to feel more relaxed and at peace? These are signs of anxiety.
