Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Fort Langley, BC.

Anxiety is a perpetual worry or fear that feels uncontrollable. While a healthy level of anxiety helps us to function well in life, an unhealthy level can be debilitating.

Dr. Rochefort can help you to reduce worry, stress, and panic, and to take back control of your thoughts, behaviours, and body.

CBT (Cognitive behavioural therapy), which is the type of therapy I practice, is an evidence-based approach that provides individuals with skills to help manage their anxiety and get control over their lives back.

This is an opportunity to speak freely about your circumstances and release pent up feelings, without having to worry about what others think or feel, and without receiving unwanted advise from family, friends or coworkers. At the root of the problem, there are very real, legitimate and understandable reasons for feeling the way you feel, thinking the way...(view profile to read more)

Experiencing stress and anxiety, especially over long periods, can become overwhelming. Building an understanding of ourselves and the best ways to manage these concerns can be a significant first step toward healing. I approach anxiety through the lens of the nervous system and work towards building compassion for its work to keep us safe while exploring ways to let it know that its defences are not always needed. I integrate modalities that work best for each individual; these often include concepts from Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), a Strength-Based approach, Attachment Theory and more.

If you are running on empty from trying to hold everything together, traditional talk therapy alone can sometimes feel like it is not quite enough. I specialize in helping individuals who look perfectly fine and successful on the outside, but whose bodies are privately locked in constant survival mode, anxiety, and exhaustion. In our sessions, we do not just analyze your thoughts. Instead, I act as your ally, blending gentle modern Western psychotherapies like EMDR, IFS, and ACT with grounding Eastern mindfulness. We will work at your own pace to process stress at a core level, soothe your overactive nervous system, and safely let go of the heavy baggage you have been carrying for so long.

Heightened stress or anxiety is so common in our society that sometimes we fear that without the adrenaline rushing through our bodies, we would suffer from extreme boredom or worse, fall into a deep, dark depression. Unfortunately, the stress response that protects us in times of extreme danger actually harms us when left to run rampant. Finding safe, healthy ways to ‘self-soothe’ will increase physical health & also free you to enjoy your life more fully. Since we have absolutely no power to control anyone but ourselves & nothing but the present moment, decreasing our ‘stress response’ frees up energy that can be put into significant relationships & activities that bring life to us.

Anxiety is a powerful emotion that can cause a lot of distress when not managed well. Anxiety is a normal human emotion in response to stress or a threat in our environment but can sometimes get out of hand. Therapy at West Coast Counseling can help you to manage your anxiety, identify the stressors in your life and develop coping skills to manage your life better all in a safe, supportive environment.
