Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in The Colony, TX.

Anxiety and panic are some of the most uncomfortable emotions people experience. The key to ridding yourself of fear is to face it. Worrying about a problem is NOT the same as facing the problem. By shining light on the hidden fear, you will immediately diminish its power. Then, through examining your strengths, developing skills and coping mechanisms, and by practicing courage you will quickly turn your anxiety into confidence and power. The situations and people you used to dread will quickly become manageable and possibly even exhilarating.

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.

I am trained in mindfulness-based stress reduction, and it's a great approach to reducing anxiety. I teach simple strategies that you practice daily. One simple strategy is just before you fall asleep at night, think about your day and choose the best part. This techniques puts you in a positive frame of mind just before you fall asleep. When you practice this daily, over time you will begin to fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and get that good quality sleep while you are asleep.

Anxiety will cripple you from living your life. There are concrete skills you can develop that help reduce anxiety and manage it when it tries to take over. You have more power than you think over your own anxiety and I can help you avoid the pitfalls of anxiety that so many people fall into. I've had tremendous success in treating my clients who struggle with this unique but common disorder. You don't have to let it stop you from having the life you want.

Are you stressed or anxious? Anxiety is usually partly caused by "what if" questions that you ask but don't answer, instead imagining that the worst will overtake you and you will be left helpless and hopeless. I will help you to look at these questions and really answer them, rather than relying upon your fear-filled imagery to determine how you'll feel. In addition to helping you look at what you can do to cope in the various scenarios you imagine. Depending upon the extent of your problems, we might work to teach you skills to relax and calm your mind, learn to control your breathing, problem-solve, communicate more effectively, set limits, and more.

Clients will experience significant benefits from anxiety and stress counseling, as I provide clients with effective tools and support to manage and alleviate their symptoms. I offer a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore and understand the underlying causes of their anxiety and stress. Through various therapeutic techniques and interventions, clients can develop strategies and relaxation techniques to reduce their anxiety levels and manage stress effectively. I also provide clients with the opportunity to gain insight into their thought patterns and behaviors, helping them identify and challenge negative thinking that contributes to their anxiety.

We hold our anxiety and stress in our body. We feel tension, gut problems, hot flashes, disrupted sleep and more. 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 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.

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.

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. People with anxiety don’t always share the same symptoms, they vary from person to person. Therapy will help you to reclaim your life and function in a chronically stressful world.

The goal of therapy is to stop the behaviors that have had devastating effects on you and those around you and to create more of what you do want in your life; healthy relationships, meaningful time with family and friends, increased productivity at work, feeling comfortable in your own skin, and sustained peace of mind. We help provide a safe environment without judgement to allow healing to begin.

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.

Anxiety and stress are a part of our everyday life. However, these two issues do not have to be debilitating. They are not our enemies and can often times push us towards reaching our goals.

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.

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.

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.
