Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Davie, FL.

Are you a hard-working guy being crushed by stress? Stress, anxiety, burnout, and addiction are all predictable outcomes when stress gets too high. In my experience, men are often misunderstood and under-appreciated... even by their own wives and children. The good news is that you don’t have to slowly suffer and fade off into the sunset. You were created for more than this, and even strong men need support from time to time. You’ve shown your grit through the ups and downs of life. You’ve already been through a lot. But getting professional help shows a different kind of toughness, and if right now you’re buckling under the weight of life, it’s time to take the next step. I’m here to help.

Anxiety and stress frequently signal underlying issues that require attention. While physical health problems or medication side effects can contribute to anxiety, it often serves as a warning sign that certain thought patterns or behaviors need adjustment. Addressing anxiety involves healing unresolved issues such as grief, trauma, negative thoughts, communication barriers, or relational challenges. At our center, we offer diverse approaches to navigate and alleviate anxiety, facilitating inner peace and balance.

I work with clients to externalize anxiety and stress; then to deconstruct their preferred view of themselves. As therapy progressed clients develop understanding regarding causes, signs and symptoms and explore techniques in managing anxiety and stress. When possible family members may be recommended to join the session to assist the client in assessing his/her stories in arriving at desired changes.

Everyone feels anxiety at some point in their lives but when it starts to interfere with your life, counseling can help. Although anxiety can feel debilitating, it is treatable. People with anxiety don’t always share the same symptoms, they vary from person to person. Therapy will help you to reclaim your life and function in a chronically stressful world.

Stress is a normal part of everyone's lives, however, when left unmanaged it can become overwhelming. We help our clients to manage stress and reduce anxious symptoms by holding safe therapeutic space for them to work through difficult emotions and experiences in a supportive environment. Anxiety can be caused by many different factors and can be temporary or chronic. Processing traumatic experiences and gaining perspective into what is contributing to your symptoms can shed light on how to lessen the severity and have more good days than bad. We will utilize therapy techniques tailored to your specific needs to assist you in making progress.

Cognitions ( thoughts); feeling overwhelmed, confused, not able to make decisions, no mind clarity, lost and helpless at times.We will help you learn to stop worrying and deal with your stressors in a healthy way so you can start living again.

We all go through seasons of life where things going on around us feel out of control and un-manageable. For some of us, this stress and anxiety can feel debilitating and get in the way of us experiencing life to the fullest. Regardless of how severely you experience this, I am here to help. Through our journey together, you will come to realize your ability to thrive no matter what the circumstances are.

Anxiety is the most common symptom that people report when I begin my work with them. We live in a high-stress world with an overwhelming number of demands and expectations, and it is often difficult to keep up. Anxiety is like a nagging voice that won't leave us alone, always telling us that what we are doing is never enough. It robs us of our peace and creates a world of fear inside of us. I understand how paralyzing this can be. DBT provides us with a number of coping skills to help manage the anxiety and learn a healthier way to live. Mindfulness is the skill that I have found to be most effective in creating distance between us and our thoughts, and ultimately internal peace.

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.

To help you combat anxiety issues, I use a combination of therapies tailored to your needs and strengths, including Cognitive- Behavioral (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution Focused, Adlerian, and Existential. We will work together to make the changes needed in thoughts and behaviors as you relearn new ways to cope with life. We will also take a deep dive into your lifestyle, sleep patterns, dietary habits and exercise routine. We’ll determine if we can make reasonable adjustments that will lessen your anxiety naturally and holistically.

Working with clients who are experiencing anxiety and stress is a passion and specialty of mine. I am unique in my approach because I come from both a psychological background, but also from a background of many years studying and teaching yoga and meditation, which is the science of developing personal peace. I help clients to develop ways to decrease stress and anxiety without the use of medication by utilizing breathing techniques and mindfulness practices. I also use a cognitive behavioral approach that helps to recognize negative irrational thoughts while replacing these thoughts with more positive and realistic thoughts. I offer individual therapy and regular group therapy.

Anxiety can be paralyzing for some people. It is important to find a therapist that has experience with anxiety and has used empirically based treatments that are effective. A form of CBT which is exposure therapy may help reduce fears from anxiety response. Dialectical Behavior Therapy is another form of CBT which has shown its effectiveness in treating this disorder. Some common factors of anxiety include frequent fatigue, avoidance of anxiety provoking stimulus, restlessness, irritbaility, difficulty focusing and concentration, sleep problems and muscle tension. Children may also experience anxiety and it may be portrayed differently than adults.

Anxiety affects everyone.... And it's not always a bad thing. It can be motivating and protect you from danger. But when it starts to take over, it can negatively impact every aspect of your life, and present you from experiencing peace and joy. Therapy can help you figure out why you feel the way you do and what your triggers are so you can learn to manage your anxiety. I will teach you different techniques to use at home when you are starting to feel anxious. This will prevent the anxiety to escalate to a panic attack. Take control of your life and find the inner peace and calmness you desire and deserve.
