Anxiety and stress are part of life for most people. For some, these worries and concerns can interfere with the ability to live life in a satisfying way. My approach with patients is to focus on the ways in which anxious thoughts and feelings are creating a loop in which they can’t seem to get away from the source of their anxiety and stress. Often I find that patients believe (even though they may be clear that it makes no sense rationally) that by worrying and being anxious, they are doing something to make their problems go away. The process of psychotherapy helps you to discover how you are participating in maintaining the anxiety and stress in your life. As we talk, you will be able to ....

Stress can be felt from feeling pressure at work (or from not working), from always being on the go but still finding not enough time in the day, from feeling more responsibilities than you can handle, from being unable to deal with small stressors when they come up, from finding some areas of your life having significant effects on other areas of your life, or from many other sources. You can get beyond the effects of this by discussing what is going on and finding alternate strategies to deal with situations. Christopher looks forward to heling you on this journey as you see to come to a place of wholeness and peace.
Howard Rossen, LCSW
Containing anxiety and stress can often be a long term battle. Be it due to an immediate circumstance that we feel is beyond our control or a life long feeling of unease that becomes debilitating. The real problem in dealing with stress over the long haul is the potential toll that it takes in our lives. It effects our health on many levels as well as the potential to exhaust the energy of our friends and family. Psychotherapy can offer a useful path to better coping and achieving a life that allows us simply to breathe. For in the end learning to breathe on all levels is truly the magic key.
Phyllis Y. Sachs-Yasgur, LCSW-R, CLL
A certain level of stress is said to be useful, as it enables us to be productive. However, when the stress becomes overwhelming and all-encompassing, stress hormones are released, and it gives way to anxiety. This is especially true when we feel out of control. During the course of therapy, Phyllis uses cognitive therapy and relaxation techniques to help clients learn self regulation and develop mindfulness. The ultimate goal is to attain a positive sense of well being.

Anxiety is the feeling of worry, apprehension, fear, and panic including heart palpatations in response to situations which seem overwhelming, threatening, unsafe or uncomfortable. Are you or have you experienced any of these emotions? Do you experience social anxiety when in group situations? We convey feelings of empathy, concern and caring, as we seek to help you to resolve your concerns.
Nikki DiFranks, PhD, MA, MS, LCSW-R
Anxiety; panic attacks; phobias; & obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)/ obsessive compulsive personality disorder are all manifestations of the Anxiety Disorders. Phobias are usually treated by exposure-desensitization techniques, while anxiety & panic disorders respond well to exploration of triggers, identification of maladaptive cognitions & illogical thinking, stress mgmnt, as well as awareness of what occurs or soothes as symptoms abate. Many patients will improve when medication is incorporated into treatment. Distraction, refocusing, & reinforcement techniques may also be introduced. I have occasionally found it helpful to treat OCD d/o's with analogs to self-help addictive treatment.

The Gestalt approach to anxiety is to teach you to balance relaxation and excitement. Stress and anxiety occur when you cannot use effectively any excitement you may be experiencing -- and instead suppress it out of fear, embarrassment or conditioning. In this dilemma, you cannot neither act nor relax, and instead just feel anxious. Your therapist will help you identify the source of your anxiety and work toward either being able to eiher express your excitement effectively or "demobilize" when you need to.

Anxiety and stress are endemic to living in today's world, and there are few people whose lives are not affected by them. Many who attempt to cope with the challenges that exacerbate these feelings may be helped by relaxation techniques, as well as by an insight into the ways that they interpret these challenges. Often the way a situation is interpreted magnifies the resulting experience of anxiety and stress. While no one can eliminate these feelings entirely, effective counseling provides tools that help individuals manage the stress in their lives, and thereby avoid becoming overwhelmed by anxiety. Others whose symptoms are especially intractable may benefit from a medication referral.
Carolyn AlRoy, Psy.D.
I have experience with reducing and eliminating panic attacks, curing phobias, and reducing more generalized anxiety. Anxiety can feel unbearable, and give you the sense that you are in danger. Here also looking at relationships can be very helpful to determine where your anxiety comes from (modeling anxious parents, getting a sense that the world is a dangerous place). and what thoughts and feelings your anxiety may be distracting you from. Getting to know you well can be instrumental in giving you relief from anxiety and reassure you that you are not alone.
Paul Josephson, LCSW
Anxiety and stress are the most commonly stated issues that are brought to my attention and in 20,000 clinical hours of practice I have found that the vast majority of my patients have a great deal of success in reducing these feelings and moving towards a place of great satisfaction, calm and happiness. I will work with you to differentiate what part of the stress and anxiety is biologically based, comes from your environment or is a legacy inherited from your past. Lifting anxiety results in greater health, clearer thinking and a more enjoyable life.

Managing anxiety and stress often means learning some new skills, and that's where I come in. I've helped countless people with techniques that help them regain control. Sometimes medication is necessary, but more often anxiety and stress can be greatly reduced simply by using the right techniques. Actually, I've helped people turn their stress or anxiety into learning experiences that leave them feeling more empowered and competent in controlling their lives. If you like, I can help you do the same.
Marge Blaine, Ph.D., LP
Anxiety is probably the most common of human emotional/spiritual ailments, and can be powerful enough to overwhelm us. The goal of anxiety counseling is to identify the source of the anxiety and provide practical tools and strategies to help alleviate it. Some times, as in the case of Generalized Anxiety Disorder, there is not a specific cause for anxiety, but it is generalized and carries over in all areas of life. Counseling helps clients to understand the sources of their anxiety and find the capacity to manage and overcome the negative and destructive forms of anxiety.
Nancy Gubman, LCSW
What are you really anxious about? If the specific thing changes from day to day, or even hour to hour, then there is a bigger anxiety which "hooks onto" normal, everyday stresses. If the client is willing to go deeper, I try to help her or him to look at the big picture of anxiety. What is the real fear? Often, the smaller fears start to lessen.
Daniel Minuchin, MA, LMFT
In helping people deal with general anxiety and stress, as well as specific fears and phobias I use a variety of techniques. Certainly traditional therapy, which allows people to explore and understand what is happening and where it comes from, can be useful. At the same time, in working with anxiety, it is an area where it can be helpful to have people try out new behaviors. Exercises, whether in the office, or given as homework, can be helpful. Relaxation techniques, and hypnotherapy, and Strategic therapy techniques can also be useful.

Anxiety and stress, they go hand in hand. Anxiety seems to develop a mind of its own. And while a little bit of anxiety can help one go into action and be more productive, too much anxiety can be debilitating. I work with many bright people who have the idea that if they understand where their anxiety comes from, that they will be able to control it. It's not about control. It's about being in an environment with someone who can help you develop better coping mechanisms so that the anxiety can lessen or vanish completely.
Adam Jacobson, LCSW, MSOD
Anxiety is simply a difficult thing to experience. It ranges from a constant feeling of distress to an acutely overpowering feeling that seems to consume. It is also quite common. Years of working with this issue have made to clear to me that part of mastering anxiety is gaining a working knowledge of why ones gets anxious. Insight is not enough however. When awareness is achieved then one can move to replace old patterns with new ones. It is these new and increasingly adaptable patterns that leads to a successful mastery of anxiety.
Anat Ben-Zvi, Ph.D.
Anxiety and stress can be crippling, and time consuming. I can help you learn how to work with your anxiety, and then learn new ways to soothe yourself. I use biofeedback techniques to help you experience a change in the physiological symptoms that accompany your anxiety. Also, through talk therapy you can understand understand the source of your anxiety and learn to create internal scripts that are more positive and less anxiety ridden.

We live in an ever changing, and stressful world which can stimulate increasing amounts of anxiety. A crucial factor for coping with this anxiety is by learning new ways of responding to stress without increasing maladaptive behavior (i.e. addictions, or other harmful behaviors). The current clinical research on treating anxiety points to a bi-focal process: Biology (genetics) and Psychology (thoughts/emotions/behavior=your perceptions/reactions). By exploring your reactions to stress we can begin to understand your unique biology/psychology, and together we will work towards restoring a healthier mind/body balance as you learn to incorporate new ways of responding life's stress.
Ryan Swearingen, LMHC
Anxiety and stress serve a purpose and can motivate people to act when necessary. However, our bodies and minds can reach a point where we are on auto-pilot, and the pilots name is anxiety or stress. When this point is reached, anxiety and stress are sending false signals that "warn" the individual of a potential threat. Through therapy, one can learn how to identify the early warning signs of stress and anxiety and manage the symptoms before they take over.

I actively practice breathing techniques and guided imagery and coach clients on managing their lives in a way that will reduce their stress. I'm skilled at helping people reduce perfectionism, the need to please others, obsessive thinking, and unrealistic demands on themselves that contribute to overwhelming stress and anxiety.

I help individuals, using a structured format, to ascertain how to change their negative thought patterns, resolve ongoing conflicts, and distinguish between realistic and unrealistic fears. I teach the patient how to recognize distorted automatic thoughts and how to respond to those thoughts in a more reasons way. I teach methods of soothing when a person is feeling anxious. I help each patient identify and understand the long-standing dysfunctional assumptions that lead to anxiety.
Colette Dowling, LCSW
Anxiety is often misunderstood. It's a natural response to stress. Parts of our brains are wired to alert us to danger. In essesnce, we are wired for fear. When something dangerous appears on the horizon (or even seems to) our amygdala's go on red hot alert. The old way of treating anxiety was to try to help patients push the feeling away. Our current understanding is that people need help in broadening their tolerance for all kinds of feelings. Basically, it's not helpful for us to go on high alert every time we become nervous about something. High alert is useful only in times of real danger. Our modern brains need help in making the distinction. A therapist can teach us how.
Susie Greenebaum, MS ED, LCSW
Because a certain amount of stress and worry is a part of life, sometimes it is hard to know if what we are feeling is just too much. Therapy can help you determine if there is a way to live your life with less anxiety, stress and worry. When anxiety is severe, it can negatively impact your quality of life. In therapy I can help you to understand learn to better manage your thoughts and feelings in order to find relief from anxiety symptoms. I use varied techniques including visualization, mindfulness, and controlled, strategic exposure.
Alan Lehman, Ph.D., LCSW
The sources of stress and anxiety are many-fold: a demanding job, acute financial hardship, nagging physical ailment, an unsupportive, overbearing partner, your own perfectionistic tendencies, or perhaps a chronic sense of unrelenting, overwhelming responsibility.
For stress-induced anxiety, I offer both counseling and stress management skills.
Providing a safe, nurturing, non-judgmental environment, I will assist you in identifying the sources and triggers for your stress and anxiety, and provide you with both cognitive and behavioral techniques for better managing stress and hence reducing debilitating anxiety, in turn enhancing your capacity to accomplish more.

When you become anxious and stressed, it is difficult to think clearly and process information effectively. Through hypnotherapy, guided visualizations, & psychodynamic interventions, you will learn to handle your stresses, and anxieties with increased feelings of calmness, security and confidence. You will learn to breathe through your anxious thoughts and feelings so that you can control them, rather than those feelings controlling you. All of our reactions and behaviors have roots in our past that can be uncovered and understood, so that you can take back your power and live with greater serenity and strength. Stress may be a given, suffering with it is optional.
Michael Bednarski, PhD

My approach to managing anxiety and stress is highly individualized and provides clients very simple but effective tools that will yield results within a few weeks. My clients and I are often surprised by the effectiveness of efforts when we build on a collaborative approach to addressing the unnecessary descriptiveness that comes from anxiety and stress
