Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Chalfont, PA.

Got Stress? Get Creative! My favorite daily practice is to smile when I feel one of those feelings (stressed, upset, overwhelmed, anxious…) I immediately feel better and am able to respond effectively to what is in front of me (like car going too slow when I’m in a hurry or someone being rude/ unthoughtful/difficult). I learned this during my training over the years in performance and improv… learning to creatively respond to what’s coming at me/being offered by the world with acceptance and openness. And, as a therapist I have seen how creatively responding verses automatically reacting out of anger, fear, stress, frustration, etc can help clients as well as me. In the....

We all have some level of stress & anxiety that is often experienced as fear & worry. For some, however, the anxiety can become overwhelming. This may involve a specific stressor or an increase in life stressors, a phobia, generalized anxiety or even panic symptoms. It is important to identify what might be triggering the anxiety as well as any predisposing causes. I work with individuals to explore the roots of negative thoughts & beliefs & then begin the process of altering them. I also assist in sorting through ineffective coping strategies & replacing them with new & more helpful strategies. This process helps provide relief by addressing both the anxiety symptoms & the underlying cause.

To feel occasional anxiety or stress is a normal part of the human condition, especially in today's fast paced world. But if stress is managing you, rather than the other way around, it's time for some help. Not doing so can lead to serious work, relationship, and health problems. There are as many ways to manage stress as there are stressors. Together, we'll find approaches that work for you.

Whether you are struggling with Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Phobias, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Post Traumatic Disorder or generalized stress, your life can feel unmanageable with these overwhelming issues. Medications offer some relief however counseling may be able to offer a result. So often belief systems can create these stresses. I will help you discover the belief systems that are contributing to your high levels of anxiety and stress. In addition we will look at relaxation techniques and calming exercises which may be as simple as learning how to use breathing. In addition the use of meditation and imagery will be used. You can learn to live your life anxiety and stress free.

Anxiety can rob you of the ability to be at peace and experience joy. It interferes with relationships and your ability to focus. I will help you interrupt those racing thoughts or worries and to deal with them in a calm and structured way so that you are no longer at their mercy. We can also work to uncover the roots of stress or anxiety so that you have insight into what started those feelings and what may be triggering them. When you can understand yourself, you can begin to take care of yourself and control those feelings in new ways. Call me to discuss what kind of anxiety you struggle with and we will talk about what kind of help you would like.

We experience anxiety in many ways: excessive worry about future events, catastrophic thoughts, insomnia, restlessness, pounding heart, sweating, avoidance of specific things. While we cannot avoid stress, our ways of coping with stressful situations affect our mental, physical and spiritual health. In a safe, empathetic environment, I help clients understand how thoughts, behaviors, environmental changes/life situations, moods and physical reactions affect anxiety level. Together, we develop effective coping strategies to reduce anxiety, regain a sense of empowerment and a return to the calm and balanced life we deserve.

I see this as the "common cold" of mental health issues that every client struggles with on some level. I help clients look at possible past and current factors that may be creating or maintaining the stress and anxiety. If the anxiety/stress is coming from past or current traumatic experiences, EMDR therapy helps clients re-process them to come to a more adaptive view that aids healing. I teach relaxation, deep breathing, and meditation practices to be used at home to decrease the impact of stress and anxiety on a client's life. Finally, I help clients identify and rid themselves of unhealthy relationships that may be creating or maintaining the anxiety.

No matter how long you have been suffering from anxiety - even panic attacks - you can free yourself - mind, body and spirit. When you learn to identify the thought patterns that create anxiety and replace them with more positive thinking, you enjoy greater peace of mind. When you learn to notice tightness as it occurs in your body and release that tension, you become more relaxed. When you connect with the unconditional love and healing power of your Divine Nature you transform old patterns and become the conscious creator of your experience.

Anxiety and stress impact many persons' lives daily. Some people experience stronger levels of anxiety and stress which can meet the criteria for a mental health disorder, such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder or GAD. Therapy can address this in many different ways. One way is to look at how thoughts and behaviors are linked using a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach. Other modalities such as Narrative Therapy or Eco-Systemic Structural Family Therapy may look at how life events and familial patterns impact one's sense of anxiety/stress and the management of these issues. Another approach is mindfulness which helps clients get in touch with their body to work.
