In many cases, an integrative approach of cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and psychotherapy is used to help you manage stress and anxiety. Cognitive-behavioural therapy aims to help you change your emotional response and behaviour by changing your thoughts. If our thoughts happen so quickly and automatically, how can we change a stress response that is perpetuated by such challenging or negative thoughts? Using cognitive-behavioural strategies, we can slow down the thought process by creating a heightened awareness of them. As we observe them, we can make significant changes in our automatic thoughts, and subsequently, change our emotional response and the way we respond as a result.

I love working with people who wrestle with anxiety and stress, I love it because of the difference I witness in the lives and experiences of my clients. Employing a blend of mindfulness, somatic experiencing and neuroscience (polyvagal) techniques, the felt experience of anxiety can be managed in an entirely new way for you, and can lead to profound change in your life. I can not make it so that you never feel anxious again, but we can work to help you learn what to do when you experience the familiar sensations of anxiety, so that it doesn't take over your thoughts, body and life.

I am an expert in working with anxiety and stress-related concerns. I practice from a mindfulness-based approach, specifically drawing upon MBCT. This gentle approach emphasizes the health benefits associated with cultivating deeper awareness in the present moment through breathing, relaxation, and meditative exercises. I also utilize CBT, neurophysiological research, and Kundalini yoga to offer clients effective stress management skills. I additionally offer information to teach clients the physiological aspects of the stress response to increase their understanding and ability to self-regulate such processes so they see lasting change in their lives.

Anxiety and stress create a constant sense of urgency in your mind and body, making it difficult to concentrate, rest, or feel fully present. I draw on ACT, CBT, DBT, IFS, somatic regulation techniques, & narrative therapy to help you understand how anxiety operates & how to work with it effectively. Rather than trying to eliminate anxious thoughts entirely, we develop greater psychological flexibility & skills for managing overwhelming feelings. We practice stepping back from unhelpful thinking patterns, regulating your nervous system, and privileging long-term goals over short-term discomfort. Clients say they feel grounded, capable, and able to move forward when uncertainty is present.

Low levels of anxiety can motivate us to accomplish goals and perform at our best. As the level of experienced anxiety creeps higher, it robs us of our joy and can make us feel overwhelmed resulting in either inactivity or a compulsion to be overactive yet not experiencing any lasting relief. Our sense of internal peace and calm is replaced by perpetual overthinking and fear. Let's work together to gain insight into the root cause of your anxiety so that we are able to empower you to reclaim your experience of joy and a sense of internal calm.

As a Somatic (SE) therapist- mental & emotional health follows the state of the nervous system. If it is flowing seamlessly between sympathetic and parasympathetic; arousal and settling, within a “manageable range” there’s a deep, internal sense of well-being, emotional stability, confidence, clear thinking, aliveness, trust in self and others, and mastery. With SE we will focus on: Your experiences... in the body Learn to track, observe, describe what is going on for you Regulate internal arousal states, shift locked patterns into action, increase body awareness. Encourage emotional engagement with attention to: mindfulness, sensations, movements and impulses. Here & Now find YOU!

I have a lot of respect for clients who possess the courage to come to therapy to address a longstanding fear or phobia that has been causing significant distress or has been preventing them from living the life they want to live. I like to take a structured CBT approach to what is causing the fear which includes examining unhelpful thoughts and helping the client gradually move towards greater exposure to the feared stimulus. I am always researching what works in the field of anxiety treatment. I am currently exploring exposure therapy through virtual reality which can help the client complete more gradual exposures in a less risky environments before trying the exposure in real life.

If anxiety has been making everyday life harder, you’re not alone and you don’t have to face it without help. I work with clients to help them understand anxiety, manage symptoms, and create meaningful, lasting change. Anxiety can look different for everyone. For some, it’s a constant sense of worry that never seems to stop. For others, it’s physical tightness in the chest, difficulty sleeping, or an upset stomach before important events. And for many, it can lead to avoiding situations altogether. I understand how overwhelming and exhausting this can be, and I’m here to help you find relief and confidence again.

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@kevinflemingphd.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.

Everyone experiences stress, and stress can be positive motivation to get things done. But when stress escalates it can be experienced as anxiety. Anxiety can arise when we lose touch with our feelings. In an anxious state, our bodies produce cortisol, leaving us in a fight or flight state. I try to help people understand the nature of their stresses and regulate stress through meditative, mindful or breathing practices. We explore the internal experiences – the feelings and emotions that escalate stress into anxiety. Learning to address these feelings gives us tools to deal effectively with challenging feelings, thereby developing a healthy sense of inner awareness and control.
