Excessive anxiety & worry interferes with relationships, sleeping patterns, eating habits, work, school, and all other areas of life, including your health. Medications are helpful, and sometimes lifesaving for those paralyzed by anxiety & panic. However useful psychotropic medications may be at symptom reduction, they fail to address the emotional & psychological causes of anxiety, which more often than not, play a powerful role in the formation and maintenance of anxiety. My approach is to help you to focus internally, so that you can begin to understand, unravel, and heal the source of the anxiety. Whatever the cause, anxiety can be reduced, if not resolved completely, with therapy.

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.

Constant worrying and feeling stressed out does not have to be your normal! Anxiety tells us that we need to avoid, avoid, avoid. We think if we avoid the things we fear, then the anxiety will go away but that's actually how we inadvertently make our anxiety worse. Through CBT and ERP, you will learn the tools to face your anxiety and increase your tolerance for the feelings that come along with it. By facing your anxiety, you can make choices that lead to doing the things you love most. In therapy, you'll also learn coping skills and be able to express your worries in a supportive space.

Stress is a normal part of everyone's lives, however, when left unmanaged it can become overwhelming. We help our clients to manage stress and reduce anxious symptoms by holding safe therapeutic space for them to work through difficult emotions and experiences in a supportive environment. Anxiety can be caused by many different factors and can be temporary or chronic. Processing traumatic experiences and gaining perspective into what is contributing to your symptoms can shed light on how to lessen the severity and have more good days than bad. We will utilize therapy techniques tailored to your specific needs to assist you in making progress.

Available for Online Therapy

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.

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.

When you have a stress reaction (racing heart, racing thoughts, quick breathing, shaking, inability to think clearly, etc) it actually is due to a chemical reaction starting in your brain. It often happens immediately because your brain and body have adapted over millennia to ensure your safety. The fight/flight response is great when necessary, but not so great when a person is not really in danger. I help people understand this reaction and decrease the symptoms using several techniques such as EMDR and self-regulation skills.

Anxiety and stress can be debilitating; however, there are ways to keep both emotions in check. I will help you learn skills which include but are not limited to identifying triggers, identifying your body’s response and/or reaction to a stressor or perceived threat, controlled breathing, identifying relaxing activities, staying present and thought stopping in which you assess 1) whether there is reason for alarm, 2) evidence that supports the reason, and 3) whether the reaction is warranted or not.
