Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Nooksack, WA.

My approach to helping clients with anxiety and or trauma is holistic in nature. I address the physical, mental, cultural, and spiritual aspects that may contribute to the feelings of anxiety or the symptoms of trauma by using combination of cognitive - behavioral therapies, neurofeedback and yoga psychology. These modalities can help clients learn to balance their body chemistry, establish and maintain emotional balance, develop and manage the control of their thoughts and beliefs, and to define and live a life with purpose and meaning.

Anxiety and stress are so common they seem like an unavoidable part of the modern lifestyle. However excessive anxiety, stress, and worry can start to destroy your peace of mind, lessen your confidence, and impact your physical health. I provide a therapy process where the pattern of how anxiety is created in your life is understood and new tools to stop the physical and emotional patterns of anxiety are made habitual. The end result is having your peace of mind back so you can focus on the things that matter most to you.

It can be really hard to talk about anxiety. You're reading the words of someone who suffered with severe anxiety from before the age of five. While depression largely looks backwards, and lacks a plan, anxiety looks forward and invents a future that almost never comes to pass. But, anxiety holds a little known secret that, once revealed, is a game-changer for anxiety sufferers! Too many people struggle needlessly with anxiety every day. It can be difficult to imagine life without it. It can feel like there's no hope. Fear and hope are powerful emotions! Be encouraged to take just a small step and reach out to someone who knows the steps to cultivate hope and build motivation to overcome!

Do you get caught up in your thoughts and have trouble concentrating on anything else? Does it seem like, every time you try to cling to the present moment, another worry draws you in? People with anxiety have a hard time compartmentalizing the things that bother them. They can turn into worriers. Fear and anxiety build over time and people can end up fretting about everything, from work relationships to money. People with anxiety can find themselves with thoughts that spiral out of control. Obsessive behavior can result from anxiety. All of our clinicians at Hope and Thrive Counseling offer this service. Reach out today to see who has openings.

In our modern society, we are constantly surrounded by stressors: work, relationship, past hurts, guilt and shame, illness, abuse, etc.. I use various counselling methods to help you become aware of these anxieties and fears, and then teach ways to reduce their control over your life. Clients routinely experience improved self-image, a renewed sense of hope and purpose, and a greater sense of personal freedom.

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.

Everyone experiences anxiety at some point, but for some the anxiety is so frequent or intense that it interferes with their lives or even triggers panic attacks. I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help my clients get a sense of control over their own anxiety. We collaborate to learn skills to reduce the frequency or intensity of the anxious feelings, to tolerate the anxiety when it does occur so they can still function through it, and to practice habits that reduce stress and improve general mental health.
