Life in today's fast-paced demanding world can leave you feeling overwhelmed, stressed and anxious. Maybe you've experienced a traumatic event that you just can't seem to move past. For more than 25 years I've helped clients learn to cope with and overcome the effects of stress and anxiety. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I'll help you understand what triggers your anxiety, learn to change the thinking patterns that can lead to increased stress and develop concrete skills to reduce your anxiety. Anxiety, stress and the effects of trauma are treatable. You can restore a sense of calm and positive control over your life again.

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

In 75069 - Nearby to Melissa.

Clients presenting for relief from anxiety and stress may achieve their goals via cognitive-behavioral therapy, or CBT. Lowering anxiety often entails replacing irrational thinking and feeling with better thoughts and beneficial feelings- and consequently, different behaviors become possible that are beneficial for change. Clients can achieve mental discipline and more control over their feelings than they typically believe is possible when they first come in for counseling. Emotional intelligence is a goal that can be achieved by understanding what self differentiation means and how it is a valuable part of the family systems theory approach that I use with clients.

Al of us worry and get scared from time to time. But those with anxiety may feel consumed by fears of things that might seem irrational to others. It can be hard to relate to these concerns, and as a result, many people don’t know how to best help someone with anxiety. With anxiety, you don’t necessarily see what the person is dealing with. So it’s important to be sensitive to what the person with anxiety is going through, even if it doesn’t make sense to you. We can teach you, through God's. Word, how to implement sound, healthy changes into your lifestyle that will take enormous burdens off of your psyche and help you to heal.

As a high-achieving man, anxiety and stress comes with the territory. And you wouldn’t be where you are today in life unless you’ve handled it pretty well until now. But most successful men find that anxiety eventually impacts them. Whether it’s slowly been eating at you for years, or you’ve just experienced your first panic attack, you’re not going crazy. There are solutions, and this can get better. I help men learn practical stress-management techniques, but I don’t stop there. I also help them identify the root causes of their stress and anxiety, and use research-proven EMDR therapy to systematically target them. The results are measurable, evidenced by deeper calm and clarity of mind.

While stress and anxiety is a part of the human experience, sometimes it can feel very overwhelming and difficult to manage. For some, stress and anxiety can feel almost debilitating. It can prevent you from enjoying activities, spending time with family/friends, taking on new responsibilities or roles at work, or live a more fulfilling life. I am here to help. I primarily specialize working with professionals who have demanding jobs and experience anxiety and stress at work, home, and socially. Together we will work together to find out your specific stressors, how they impact you in other parts of your life, and find healthier coping strategies that are research based and effective.

At Home or Private Discreet Intensives

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. Contact Kevin@kevinfleminphd.com for the ultimate stress and anxiety solution that will literally change your brain's autonomic nervous system patterns while you sit on your butt. 877-606-6161.

While anxiety and stress are very common, it does not make them any the less debilitating to your life. Our brain's natural built in resources meant to protect us often end up back firing in times where the amount of stress and anxiety is simply not needed, however turning this process off can be difficult to do without the support of trained counselor by your side. Through learning tools, techniques, and lifestyle changes to manage and re train our responses, it is fully possible to reduce anxiety levels and the stress that comes along. Anxiety and Panic Attacks can really prevent you from living life to its fullest and I am eager to meet you where you are at to kickstart your healing.

A certain amount of Anxiety and Stress are normal in life. But when life gets too big, we sometimes lose the ability to deal with them effectively and need help. There are many ways that counseling can help bring relief (some of it immediately!) in these areas. Some people find relaxation tools are helpful in day to day approaches but we also need to be able to tap into other tools when that is not enough. With an expanded tool kit, we have more options, more tools, to deal with stress and anxiety where we do not have to live in their relentless shadow.

Christian Counselor - Pastoral

In 75070 - Nearby to Melissa.

As a pastor, I've seen firsthand the impact that anxiety and stress can have on individuals and families. Thankfully, the Bible provides wisdom and guidance on how to manage these difficult emotions. One of my favorite verses on this topic is Philippians 4:6, which reminds us not to be anxious about anything but to present our requests to God with thanksgiving. As your pastor and counselor, I can help you apply this biblical wisdom to your life and work with you to develop practical ways to manage stress and anxiety. Don't let these emotions control you any longer – let's work together to find peace and calm in the midst of life's challenges.
