Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Chester, PA.

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.

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.

Anxiety in children, teenagers, and young adults is on the rise—social anxiety, generalized anxiety, panic disorder, separation anxiety, OCD.... I see kids in middle school who already worry about getting into a good college, and high school teens ruminating about something they said at the lunch table that they're worried will cost them socially. Let me help your child or teen sort out the differences sources of anxiety in his/her life and find ways to reduce them or reduce the level of anxiety they bring out. And, since there are natural sources of anxiety in our lives that cannot be eliminated, I find it important to teach kids how to better manage the anxiety that remains.
