Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Brighton, CO.

When working with me on issues of stress or anxiety, we first start with teaching and building resources to manage the stress and anxiety. After certain skill and techniques are established we can move into deeper layers of processing the roots of the stress and anxiety. Through a combination of talk therapy and emotional regulation techniques we can start to see a decrease in managing anxiety symptoms so you can experience more freedom in your life.

Anxiety and stress are as old as humanity and so many struggle, feeling like the anxiety and stress is in control while individuals are simply victims of their covert attacks! This need not be the case for you! You can have power over stress and anxiety by learning to recognize harmful thought patterns, implement thought stopping measures and begin seeing yourself more clearly. Additionally, you can grow to be more regulated by learning how to care and advocate for yourself in healthy and fulfilling ways. Don't let another day go by allowing anxiety or stress to rule over you!

Anxiety, worry, fear, panic, stress - these are normal parts of life. If anxiety or worry is causing problems for you, we can help you to learn how to manage life without having so much stress and worry that your happiness and health are affected. We will take a look at how your emotions, mood, thoughts, and actions all play a role in making anxiety and stress worse. We can also work with your loved ones to help the whole family bring stress levels down. You can have more control over your experience and free yourself from the prison that chronic anxiety causes.

How much is your anxiety costing you? Individuals who suffer from anxiety and chronic stress are less productive at work and are more likely to call in sick. They are 3-5 times more likely to go to the doctor as anxiety often feels like physical illness. Their relationships with family and friends suffer or are sometimes cut off completely. Counseling is the single most effective treatment for anxiety and stress, and the benefits begin immediately. Call today to get started: (970) 227-2770.

I will help you address anxiety and stress by taking small, manageable steps that will eventually lead to big changes. I take a gentle cognitive-behavioral approach to helping clients gradually overcome anxiety. I will help you identify beliefs that keep you stuck, and challenge thoughts that perpetuate these unhelpful ideas. I will share with you how avoidance keeps us stuck by tricking our brain and validating that this is how we are kept safe. With support, we will change this cycle by developing corrective experiences that promote new beliefs and ways of being.
