Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Springfield, 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.

I have provided stress management counseling and training for a variety of populations for 18 years. I am fully aware of the debilitating effects of anxiety, ranging from feelings of paranoia, phobias, to full-blown panic attacks. I utilize a reality-based, cognitive-behavioral approach with my clients. Together, I work with my clients in helping them achieve a healthier way of thinking about themselves, others and life in general.

Are you nervous a lot of the time? Isn’t it uncomfortable? And it doesn’t help to just be told to ‘calm down’. I am a highly trained clinical psychologist with years of both academic and clinical experience. I truly empathize with your emotional state(s) and can assist in improving your overall quality of life. How might this look? First, when you and I meet, you get support and time to just chat. This in itself can begin to lessen one’s stress. Together we can locate exactly what is making you anxious, and why. And then you and I create ways of decreasing your nervousness, and increasing your comfort level! Life can start to feel better when one’s anxiety is properly attended to.

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.
