Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Mentone, CA.

Stress can come in many ways. But, stress doesn't happen to us; it happens in us. Stress is the way we respond to outside influences.

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.

Anxiety and stress can limit us from the way we work and can hold us back from our full potential. Sometimes this can be work-related, relationship-related, or related to our insecurities or overwhelming amount of work. It is hard to manage certain sterssors without adaptive coping mechanisms and ways to strategically decrease the stress and manage the anxiety. Having those tools is essential in managing the stress and anxiety, and I often times will use CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) in treatment for these issues sot hat we can work to change the ways which we process and respond to anxiety and/or stress. I look forward to empowering you on this journey!

Over the course of time, a client may start to experience increased anxiety and find themselves beginning to become more and more tentative as they approach their relationships and personal and professional goals. I provide a comprehensive assessment, that takes into account biopsychosocial (biological, psychological and social) areas of life, and together we are able to develop a holistic and integrative plan that is adjusted to the client's changing life circumstances. When clients redesign their approach to life, they have greater insight, are transformed, and better skilled to attain a higher degree of life satisfaction.

I use a client centered approach. Her therapeutic approach derives from the Cognitive-Behavioral aspect of therapy. With this approach I help clients connect their thoughts and feelings with their behaviors to identify ways to change their actions into a positive and productive results. I also teach mindfulness and how to be present in the moment.

Everyone experiences anxiety at some point, but for some the anxiety is so frequent or intense that it interferes with their lives or even triggers panic attacks. I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help my clients get a sense of control over their own anxiety. We collaborate to learn skills to reduce the frequency or intensity of the anxious feelings, to tolerate the anxiety when it does occur so they can still function through it, and to practice habits that reduce stress and improve general mental health.
