Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in University Place, WA.

All of us go through difficult times, however some times some us go through more than our fair share of difficulties. It is during these times that we can benefit from someone who can lend a non judging ear, provide hope, support and gentle guidance. I take great care to see that your needs are being met. We always move at your pace and focus on your goals. I will hear your concerns and together we will tackle what is important to you.

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.

Lifespan Integration Therapy is highly effective in overcoming Anxiety, OCD, and other related mental and emotional challenges and disorders. Lifespan Integration Therapy is short-term, relatively easy, and the client is NOT required to relive anxious thoughts, fear-based obsessions, or even talk about their behavioral anxieties or compulsions. Lifespan Integration repairs mental processes, greatly improves focus, allows for joy and peace internally, and "clears" clients' past pain and unhealthy patterns. Clients report far more internal freedom, more hope for the future, and far less daily stress or anxiety.

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.

We look together at the areas of your life that are causing you stress and anxiety. For most people, this is a huge aspect of living. Finding ways to reduce such stress and anxiety becomes a major focus of our work. We will examine your work, your family life, your relationships, your ability to function day to day, and the kinds of things you already do to cope with anxiety and stress. Developing strategies to deal more effectively with anxiety and stress is a major goal in counseling.

By working collaboratively with a skilled therapist, you can better understand the underlying causes and triggers of your anxiety and stress. You'll learn practical coping mechanisms through tailored interventions to challenge negative thought patterns, regulate overwhelming emotions, and develop healthier behaviors and habits. Imagine your life with reduced anxiety symptoms, improved stress management, enhanced self-awareness, and greater overall well-being. Our therapists will also help develop valuable skills for long-term self-care, resilience, and a more balanced approach to handling life's challenges, enabling you to regain control, find inner calm, and thrive daily.

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!

Anxiety and stress take a hold on you and never let go, leaving you trapped and frozen. I help my clients to learn all about the magic of mindfulness practice. It's one of the most effective ways to put you in control of your emotions, rather than them controlling you. Imagine how great it would be to have an internal place of peace and serenity that you can use at any time to relax and become grounded. Mindfulness is an ancient practice that is also supported by scientific empirical studies. It's one of the best ways to change your life.

Stress can manifest itself in different ways, many of which are harmful to your mind and body. Stress increases blood pressure, causes sleeplessness, and can reduce your ability to function in daily life. If you’re experiencing unmanageable anxiety and stress, it’s important to seek help. Counseling can help you identify your stressors, while offering healthy ways to cope. I’ve helped people like you who suffer from anxiety and stress by providing them with a safe place to unload their troubles while finding practical solutions. If your anxieties become overwhelming, let me help carry some of that load. It’s helpful to talk with someone who stands outside of your situation.

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.

Anxiety and stress can have a crippling effect on our lives. The panic and the fear can leave us in a state of immobility. If that feels like your experience, I am equipped to help. I address anxiety and stress from a relational model that includes making short-term adjustments for immediate relief while also addressing the origins that cause anxiety and stress. The results are a revived way of being in this world where you get to make decisions that are best for both you and those you come in contact with.

Anxiety and Stress can be addressed through the use of a two pronged approach - 1) learning how to use practical and accessible tools to manage symptoms, and 2) identifying, understanding and addressing the underlying causes of anxiety and stress. Often there is some type of trauma that has been experienced, but hasn't been integrated so that healing can take place. We will work together to find and heal from the underlying causes of the anxiety, depression and stress.
