What would your life be like as a couple if you weren't continually activated in negative ways by stress? We will work together to make small steps toward change.

Over 40 million Americans experience anxiety. Somatic experiencing or a somatic approach to treating anxiety allows us to make the connection between our mind and body in regards to the how and why anxiety is showing up. Labeling the feelings associated, and the sensations in the body, allows us to begin to heal anxiety from the inside out. Treating anxiety can give us freedom from the constant worry that holds us back from living the life we would like to have.

Many individuals have anxiety and stress in their lives. Chris has treated clients for stress and anxiety through effective counseling and psychotherapy in Westchester and Putnam County.

Many clients have generalized anxiety, panic attacks, or phobias that Chris has experience in treating these types of anxiety. Stress can impact clients in many ways where depression and anxiety effect your quality of life.

When people tell you that your anxiety is “all in your head” they are wrong. The parasympathetic nervous system puts your body in a calm state when your sympathetic nervous system reacts to a stimulus or event that puts you on high alert and sends you into fight or flight. Anxiety can be a driving force in our lives but when it begins to get in the way of living a peaceful life, it’s time to make a change. Using psychotherapy, CBT, relaxation exercises, and many other therapeutic strategies, we can create a plan for you to identify stressors and calm yourself. You have the power to make change.

Most of us experience anxiety and/or stress at some point. However, when it persists and reaches a heightened level of intensity, therapy may be needed and can have a powerful impact on reducing these symptoms. Talk therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy are two approaches shown to have success in treating anxiety. Talk therapy allows for my clients to open up and unburden themselves from the weight of what they may be carrying and validating their experience and emotions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps address and shift any unhealthy thinking or behaviors associated with the anxiety. This can significantly improve ones ability to manage their anxiety.

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’ll start by getting on the same page: what is bringing you to therapy, what are our goals for incorporating medication, and what would it look like to truly feel “better?” We’ll discuss your past history with both psychotherapy and medication, the current challenges you’re facing, and what you hope to get out of this process. You and I will collaborate on a treatment plan that maps out how we’re going to get there.

I counsel patients with anxiety and stress incorporating exercise, spirituality and meditation. First we identify the source of the stress and then identify as many factors as possible to alleviate the stress. Counseling identifies all the factors that are out of the patients control.Learning to live with stress and living life on lives terms. Talking about problems, identifying positive responses and alternative solutions. Writing out solutions and writing to identify the problem. Life is meant to be happy, joyful and free.

Anxiety and strees are deeply uncomfortable, and so often we want to get rid of it because we feel ashamed that we feel anxious in the first place. However, if we can get a little bit curious about our anxiety, it has so much wisdom. When we allow ourselves to be with our anxiety it can tell us so much about the beliefs we hold unconsciously that are steering our life. We can then begin to rewrite these beliefs and choose a different way to experience ourselves. When we can acknowledge that our anxiety has a purpose we can uncover our deepest wisdom. We can help with that. Get in touch with us today.

Counseling clients with anxiety and managing stress is my reason for choosing this field to work in. For a period of my life, I was overcome with anxiety and panic attacks. This is no longer the case and my belief and my understanding that this can happen for clients I have seen as a result of getting help. The feelings are painful and in my case, became unbearable. The fear creates the fear. The "what if"? that starts every sentence. Whether it is to assess your options, learn techniques for mindfulness or learning how to deal with triggers, it is my goal as a therapist to assist you with gaining your life back. No one is anxiety free but it should not ruin your life.

The modern world we live in is full of amazing technological advancements and organizational wonders, but it is also more complex and demanding than ever before. The myriad competing demands of our lives, how busy we are, the continual pressure to do and be more creates enormous stress for all of us. This stress can escalate into anxiety and the added strain of these issues easily begins to short-circuit our ability to function at our best, to feel good, to maintain relationships and responsibilities. I can help you understand the internal and external forces creating these negative feelings, and together we can find strategies for minimizing stress and anxiety so you can feel better.
