Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in South Charleston, OH.

Anxiety, stress, fear, phobia, upset, freaking out, over-whelmed...the sheer number of words used in this category tells you of it's prevalence. Common as it is, many people have limited insight into anxiety. I treat anxiety by body identification and insight into the causes and the manifestations. We create effective coping skills that take the deeper meaning into account. Understanding anxiety in children is critical to a child's well being and also supports the family by minimizing behavior issues caused by the 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.

I have 5 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and women struggling with anxiety and stress. I look to implement a collaborative method of processing, providing techniques and tools, and education to help you work through your struggle with anxiety. First and foremost, I look to provide a setting for my clients of emotional safety.

The first step in managing overcoming anxiety is identifying the symptoms of anxiety. Types of symptoms among other can include: worrying or obsessive thoughts or actions, rapid heart beat, feeling dizzy or lightheaded, panic attacks, anxiety associated with memories of past traumatic events, or fear of having a anxiety attack if you go to a certain place out in public. We will first give you some tools to effectively reduce the physiological symptoms of anxiety (relaxation training, biofeedback, or heart math). Then we will deal with the underlying thoughts and triggers associated with the anxiety through EMDR, EFT, and/or Cognitive therapy (CBT) and reduce/eliminate those triggers.

Over the years I have discovered that most of our anxiety is rooted in the way that we think. It is my job, as your therapist, to help you identify those negative thought patterns and start to change them. As you start to develop awareness of the negative thoughts and dialogue you have in your head you are then able to challenge those beliefs. As you do you will find that your levels of anxiety and stress will come back down to manageable levels.
