Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Murrayville, 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. It can interfere with our ability to work, engage in relationships, and enjoy life. Dr. Rochefort can help you to reduce worry, stress, and panic, and to take back control of your thoughts, behaviours, and body.

We work with a lot of individuals, experiencing anxiety and stress. We use whatever treatment method fits best with the client. We are trained in CBT, DBT, Play Therapy and EMDR. We believe that working collaboratively helps the client feel in control. We focus on shifting mindsets and learning new, and more positive/healthy ways of coping together.

Life is stressful. It's impossible to go through life without experiencing stress and anxiety. That said, there are ways to make the physical and emotional experiences of stress helpful allies instead of letting them get the upper hand. Anxiety tells us that something is important and we need to pay attention so we can evaluate what is happening and what it means to us. We may need to find a new way to respond. We have a greater capacity to change our worlds than we often realize. I would love to hear your circumstances so we can look at your situation with new eyes and unlock new possibilities!

Anxiety is a feeling of dread at its least, or thoughts that lead you to believe you are unsafe and/or about to die at its worst. I offer interventions to this challenge, all of which engage the brain and body. We can take a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) approach and examine and challenge faulty thinking. We can also use Neurofeedback (NFB) as an approach to calming the central nervous system so the frontal cortex of the brain can engage in logical thinking and keep the brain from having to go to the place of anxiety unnecessarily. Another approach I use, EMDR, helps the brain to reprocess old hurts and or trauma, taking the charge out of the experience.

Anxiety is one of the most common mental health issues. If you are feeling anxious, you are not alone. Anxiety can be crippling and can drain our energy to enjoy life. The good news is that anxiety is also very treatable. When working with anxiety, I use my clinical experience to tailor my approach to your specific situation. We will focus on what tools will be most useful for you to regulate your anxiety and will also discuss the roots of your anxiety. We will get curious about what anxiety is trying to tell you about the emotions that need to be addressed or the changes that need to be made in your life. We will work together to find your inner calm again.

One of the most most successful approaches to helping my clients cope with anxiety, is helping them understand anxiety itself and the overall awareness of how it psychologically and psychologically affects us all individually. It is then I will be be able to introduce several cognitive behavioral interventions so that my clients may learn better coping mechanisms to help manage their anxieties.

Anxiety and stress can often times be something that we need to distract ourselves from, however when this is the only approach for too long we can find it coming back stronger.
