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.

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.

My method of working with clients on anxiety , stress and coping varies per individual. How we cope is greatly influenced by how we see the world. Mindset, life experiences, and our current situation can impact that. Overall, integrating Strength- Based, Mindfulness, NLP even DBT approaches enhances our ability to accept, and view our life with a fresh perspective. As we begin to see things through a different lens, this new perspective becomes a powerful tool in developing our mind as a muscle; an essential part of moving toward the life changes you seek. This opens the door to management of unwanted symptoms, anxiety, stress, feelings of overwhelm or low motivation and a path forward.

Learning to live with anxiety is similar to learning how to surf--it's all about "riding the wave". A lack of anxiety and stress management can leave someone feeling overwhelmed, frozen or as if they are drowning. My approach is to help people learn how to live with anxiety, treating both themselves and their anxiety with acceptance and compassion, in a safe and welcoming environment. I also believe in the power of knowledge and how information increases a sense of ability. Learning healthy coping skills for stress management is a potent tool which will benefit an individual throughout their lifetime.

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.

Everyone feels anxiety at some point in their lives but when it starts to interfere with your life, counseling can help. Although anxiety can feel debilitating, it is treatable. People with anxiety don’t always share the same symptoms, they vary from person to person. Therapy will help you to reclaim your life and function in a chronically stressful world.

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.

Anxiety is often the result of a disregulated nervous system. For many it’s more than just worries and rumination, it’s a whole body response that leaves you agitated and on-edge. Your body is in a constant state of fight or flight and no matter what you do, you just can’t relax. At Spotted Rabbit our therapists use an approach rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and polyvagal theory to help you start to feel safe in your own body so you can honor your feelings without spiraling down with them.

Through Cognitive Behavioral interventions individuals practice and learn holistic interventions to help reduce their level of stress and anxiety. In sessions patients will engage in exercises that include deep breathing, guided imagery, meditation, yoga and journalling. Also, Dialectical Behavioral interventions are taught to enhance mindfulness skills and regulate emotions in a positive way. I have a very creative outlook and energy in treating anxiety and stress.

We all experience stress from time to time. But, when stress or anxiety starts to impact your relationships and functioning, that’s often a sign that it’s time to seek help.
