Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Roxboro, NC.

Anxiety can be exhausting. It takes so much energy to try to manage all the stress you are experiencing that it can be difficult to relax and be your best self. I am interested in helping you to understand the root causes of the anxiety and to either better manage it or help to eliminate it altogether. Working together, we can find the best ways to help you.

Anxiety and stress are part of being human, but are certainly not always easy to cope with. I help people strengthen their abilities to cope with life's challenges, enabling them to better work through present and future obstacles. Anxiety can result from ongoing situations, chemical imbalances, or past hurts. I use mindfulness based approaches, cognitive behavioral approaches, and strengths based approaches to best address each person's hurdles. I also help people reduce the amount of stress or anxiety they have in their lives through a combination of psychotherapy and coaching.

I also treat panic disorders, and those who suffer from panic attacks and anxiety attacks. These can be debilitating and scary, but are very treatable with counseling!

At Mindly, we utilize proven effective treatments to help people overcome difficulties anxiety is causing in their lives. Cognitive behavior therapy in particular is an effective treatment for anxiety and can also help develop more effective ways to manage stress.

In today’s society, stress and anxiety have become very prominent features of daily life. In many ways we have evolved to have much more comfortable lives, but with a feeling of insecurity as to how long it will last because of how unstable it can feel at times. Many individuals avoid this stark reality by a variety of coping mechanisms that in the end do not give them the peace of mind they are looking for. There is a way to accept that life is unpredictable by changing our outlook. Cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices can help individuals change the way they look at their lives by encouraging individuals to see life in a more flexible way. Ultimately the goal is to live f

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.
