Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Shepherd, TX.

Anxiety and stress are two things that the majority of us would like to get rid of. Life today is full of stress and it is almost impossible to get away from it, especially in the city of Houston. Anxiety in my opinion, is a normal reaction when we are about to do something uncomfortable. As soon as we realize that, we can look for ways to manage that discomfort and that is exactly what we will work on together. Self-care is a huge part of it and until you exhibit good self- care, chances are that you will feel stressed and anxious. We will work on making better decision around self-care.

Anxiety & stress are often experienced as symptoms that can range from a level of mild discomfort to a feeling of debilitating distress. Anxiety & stress can take a significant emotional toll on one's mental health, and they can also have severely negative effects on one's physical health. Therefore, it is important to closely monitor personal levels of anxiety & stress in order to recognize when professional intervention should be sought. In seeking my services, clients can be assured that they will receive empirically supported treatments that have been shown to provide superior outcomes. For anxiety & stress, CBT methods are implemented to teach clients how to better manage their symptoms

Lake Austin Psychotherapy offers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety disorder as well as EMDR (Eye Movement, Desensitization and Reprocessing) to accelerate symptom relief from anxiety, stress and panic disorder. Somatic Experiencing is also incorporated to promote mind-body connections and autonomic regulation for heightened nervous system response.

If you find yourself over-reacting...to relationships, work, school - stress may be emotionally "stretching" what had been a healthy tolerance-set. Life happens, and unfortunately so does intense emotional "push back." Sometimes temperament sets us up for a steeper reaction. For others, early wounding and a history of unsatisfactory family bonding creates unresolved tension. Much of this energy can be processed, clarified and worked through. But more dramatic and destructive pieces of our past can also haunt our functioning. Checking into the "why's" and "wherefore's'" of emotional fallout creates a base of understanding and release which can be powerful - it's a journey worth sharing!

Anxiety and Stress can at times overwhelm us. Continued unhealthy stress causes us to not perform at our best and may put us in a negative light towards others. We listen warmly and allow you time and space to process through your difficulties. We also offer you explanations and bring awareness to possible cognitive distortions. Combined with calming exercises and techniques provides invaluable mental health experience and minimizes stress and unhealthy anxiety.

I use dialectical behavioral therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational enhancement, and person-centered techniques to assist individuals, couples, and families in reaching their goals.

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.

I work with anxiety and stress by helping individuals learn and develop tools to re-regulate their nervous system. When we have a coherent and fluid nervous system, we can do difficult things without feeling paralyzed by overwhelming fear.

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.
