Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Lacombe, AB.

Anxiety is a real physical experience that affects our thinking and emotions. We can all experience the negative effects of anxiety and stress some of the time. However, with increased life pressures and struggles it seems more people are feeling overwhelming anxiety and stress. I offer specialized training in the area of anxiety and stress based on cognitive behaviour therapy which has been developed and researched for several decades. I am able to teach simple usable tools to reduce your distress so you can begin to take back your health and then learn how to manage anxiety and stress.

Anxiety and Stress are the norm in today's world. Our fast-paced society pulls our attention in many directions and often away from ourselves. Being disconnected from our feelings, needs and wants is often a cause of anxiety. Mindfulness-based counselling is a powerful way to have us create an island of sanity for ourselves amidst the speed of our lives. By learning to reconnect with ourselves amidst the busyness of life, we are put back into relationship with our hearts and what is truly meaningful to us.

Anxiety can affect both personal well-being and relationships. In therapy, we'll explore how anxiety impacts your life and relationships. We'll develop practical strategies to manage anxiety and improve communication and connection with others. My approach is supportive and focused on empowering you to navigate anxiety while strengthening your relationships and overall emotional well-being.

Most people do not like feeling anxious or stressed. People are not saying I am glad to be stressed or anxious. What do we do when this happens. We need to process it and for most people counselling is a place for processing. Along with processing stress and anxiety comes a deeper longing to to be heard and validated and to sometimes be given new skills or strategies. What ever you need whether an ear to listen, heart to understand or ideas for coping with it I can provide it in comfortable environment.

Did you know that both stress and anxiety can be helpful? In today's world, we are often told that stress and anxiety is abnormal.
