Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Fort Pierce, FL.

Stress and anxiety are what I call "twin-sisters of destruction" to good mental health. While there are many stress management techniques such as thought stopping; relaxation and mindfulness, creative problem solving and positive self talk, I use a solution focused approached and help clients streamline all stressors into 2 categories of things they cannot change and things they have no control over which immediately provides stress relief and increases self-empowerment to handle problems that once seemed insurmountable.

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.

We hold our anxiety and stress in our body. We feel tension, gut problems, hot flashes, disrupted sleep and more. I work with anxiety and stress by helping individuals learn and develop tools to re-regulate their nervous system. When we have a coherent and fluid nervous system, we can do difficult things without feeling paralyzed by overwhelming fear.
