Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Venice, FL.

Anxiety and stress can be debilitating; however, there are ways to keep both emotions in check. I will help you learn skills which include but are not limited to identifying triggers, identifying your body’s response and/or reaction to a stressor or perceived threat, controlled breathing, identifying relaxing activities, staying present and thought stopping in which you assess 1) whether there is reason for alarm, 2) evidence that supports the reason, and 3) whether the reaction is warranted or not.

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.

There are many reasons we have anxiety and overwhelming stress. Some are known and some unknown. Either way they can be managed. With healthy coping and self awareness you can change your life. If you suffer from ruminating thoughts, panic, poor sleep, high self-doubt, or perfectionism call me. When our mind becomes a master of us instead of us mastering our mind we loose control and attempt to grasp for it anywhere we can.

I have 23+ years of studying and teaching the science and philosophy of yoga that informs my wisdom on treating anxiety. Nothing is more important than your health. Call today.

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.

Are you nervous a lot of the time? Isn’t it uncomfortable? And it doesn’t help to just be told to ‘calm down’. 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.

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.

When you have a stress reaction (racing heart, racing thoughts, quick breathing, shaking, inability to think clearly, etc) it actually is due to a chemical reaction starting in your brain. It often happens immediately because your brain and body have adapted over millennia to ensure your safety. The fight/flight response is great when necessary, but not so great when a person is not really in danger. I help people understand this reaction and decrease the symptoms using several techniques such as EMDR and self-regulation skills.
