Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Davidson, NC.

The experience of anxiety and stress can be caused by multiple factors, such as mind, body, emotions, personality tendencies, relationships, and so on. For that reason, I offer a wide variety of resources to help you change how you are responding to anxiety and stress with very practical coping skills, as well as exploration into relational or other reasons for the anxious response. We feel and store emotion in the body, and anxiety is there to alert us that something needs changed. We all have some measure of anxiety and stress at times, it is just finding out what is causing it for you, and what you need to manage and minimize it.

Working through anxiety and stress within the experiential model the client receives immediate feedback of strengths, obstacles, and opportunities for behavior change to learn, practice and develop coping skills. The experiential process is structured for the client to gain awareness to thoughts, feelings, and behaviors associated with the anxiety inducing circumstances as they may be rooted to the past and causing dysfunction in the present. The immediacy of this process provides opportunities to process emotions, practice relaxation and diversion techniques, and cognitive-behavioral techniques to work through the anxiety and stress inducing experience with support of the therapist.

Research has shown that therapy is thee best approach for anxiety and depression. This is due to the fact that therapy treats more than the symptom of the problem. I tailor the therapy in this area to your specific symptoms and concerns. My leading approach in this area is defiantly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This allows me to address the negative patters and distortions and the view that one has. We then create a new way of managing and thinking about the behaviors, thoughts and patterns.

According to all surveys, stress has reached epidemic proportions., be it from work, family obligations or just living. It affects all aspects of our lives, especially our health. 70% of Dr. visits are stress related. It especially affects how we get along with others around us, and not in a positive way. I have developed a holistic approach to stress reduction that will be highlighted in my forthcoming book slated to be released in 2018. My unique approach helps people identify the causes of their stress, how it is impacting all aspects of their life, especially their relationships with loved ones, and a novel way to reduce that stress that is science based.

Anxiety can take away your personal power at the most important moments and start to have too much control over your behavior. Over time, chronic stress can break down a healthy view of yourself. Starting from our first session, I will support your understanding of anxiety, its biological effects, and its impact on your relationships. I will support you to build on developing insight and develop habits that support anxiety and stress reduction. At the end of therapy, you will have a clear plan for sustained control over anxiety and chronic stress.
