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. Contact Kevin@kevinfleminphd.com for the ultimate stress and anxiety solution that will literally change your brain's autonomic nervous system patterns while you sit on your butt. 877-606-6161.

Anxiety and stress are prevalent in American society and are taking a toll on our health when not well managed. It is correlated with numerous health issues including cardiovascular problems, digestive problems, inflammation, some cancers, and weight gain. While we may, at times, be unable to avoid stressful situations, we can learn skills to help manage it. Through cognitive behavior therapy, people can learn and develop skills to manage the body's exposure to the harmful effects of stress and the thought patterns contributing to maintenance or escalation of stressful feelings..

Excessive anxiety & worry interferes with relationships, sleeping patterns, eating habits, work, school, and all other areas of life, including your health. Medications are helpful, and sometimes lifesaving for those paralyzed by anxiety & panic. However useful psychotropic medications may be at symptom reduction, they fail to address the emotional & psychological causes of anxiety, which more often than not, play a powerful role in the formation and maintenance of anxiety. My approach is to help you to focus internally, so that you can begin to understand, unravel, and heal the source of the anxiety. Whatever the cause, anxiety can be reduced, if not resolved completely, with therapy.

Society demands a lot from you. Maybe you often feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and like your brain won't slow down. The inner critic can get loud with the 'what ifs' and worst case scenarios. Thinking positive thoughts isn't usually enough to help your brain and nervous system feel calm and safe. In my work with clients, we focus on strategies that reach the body, brain, and nervous system functioning to create peace, safety, and balance.

Anxiety appears to possess a life of its own. The fear of experiencing anxiety further begets anxiety, often culminating in panic. What's the appropriate course of action when confronted with anxiety, stress, and panic? It seems that every attempt makes it worse. Anxiety, stress, and panic attacks seem to happen for no apparent reason, accompanied by an urgent need to "do something" to stop them. I work alongside clients to understand the reason. I guide clients to understand their lives, uncover anxiety's roots, and create a safe space while equipping them with valuable coping skills.

Anxiety, stress, panic, phobias, and obsessions are personal challenges that respond well to cognitive behavior therapy, stress inoculation training, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy. Regardless of the strategy, the focus is to desensitize the issue causing the disturbance. Relaxation training is part of that process. Accelerated Resolution Therapy can reduce corresponding physiological symptoms and desensitize clients to the provoking stimuli. Thereafter, it is often helpful to build skills to help manage future stressful situations.

As a high-achieving man, anxiety and stress comes with the territory. And you wouldn’t be where you are today in life unless you’ve handled it pretty well until now. But most successful men find that anxiety eventually impacts them. Whether it’s slowly been eating at you for years, or you’ve just experienced your first panic attack, you’re not going crazy. There are solutions, and this can get better. I help men learn practical stress-management techniques, but I don’t stop there. I also help them identify the root causes of their stress and anxiety, and use research-proven EMDR therapy to systematically target them. The results are measurable, evidenced by deeper calm and clarity of mind.

I am a highly trained clinical psychologist with years of both academic and clinical experience. I truly empathize with your emotional state(s) and can assist in improving your overall quality of life. How might this look? First, when you and I meet, you get support and time to just chat. This in itself can begin to lessen one’s stress. Together we can locate exactly what is making you anxious, and why. And then you and I create ways of decreasing your nervousness, and increasing your comfort level! Life can start to feel better when one’s anxiety is properly attended to.

We hold our anxiety and stress in our body. We feel tension, gut problems, hot flashes, disrupted sleep and more.

When we have a coherent and fluid nervous system, we can do difficult things without feeling paralyzed by overwhelming fear.

Constant worrying and feeling stressed out does not have to be your normal! Anxiety tells us that we need to avoid, avoid, avoid. We think if we avoid the things we fear, then the anxiety will go away but that's actually how we inadvertently make our anxiety worse. Through CBT and ERP, you will learn the tools to face your anxiety and increase your tolerance for the feelings that come along with it. By facing your anxiety, you can make choices that lead to doing the things you love most. In therapy, you'll also learn coping skills and be able to express your worries in a supportive space.
