Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in West Palm Beach, FL.

Stress can be good in small amounts, but excessive stress can affect how children and adolescents think, act, and feel. Injury, disease, school, relationships with peers, bullying, body development, and other changes in life such as moving or separation from important figures can have an enormous impact on kids' mental health. Even small changes can have a dramatic impact on an individual's feeling of safety and security. Children and adolescents may express their stress verbally by sharing their level of discomfort, physically by experiencing changes in appetite, stomach pain, headaches, and sleep disturbances, or emotionally by manifesting anxiety, restlessness, fears, and/or anger.

I support clients in increasing self-awareness, identifying patterns, and learning practical tools to regulate the nervous system and restore balance. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each client’s needs, helping foster resilience, emotional clarity, and a greater sense of ease and confidence in everyday life.

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.

Psychotherapy provides a robust and adaptable process for addressing both anxiety and stress, often integrating evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Through 1 therapy, individuals gain a supportive environment to understand the triggers and patterns associated with their anxiety and stress responses. CBT offers practical techniques to identify and challenge anxious or catastrophic thoughts, develop coping skills for managing worry, and implement relaxation strategies. When underlying traumatic experiences or significant life stressors contribute to anxiety and stress, EMDR can facilitate the processing of these memories, reducing their emotional intensity and impact. This comprehensive process empowers

I use many effective approaches to preventing and aborting stress, most of which can be learned in a single session. In the most stubborn cases, hypnotherapy is almost 100 percent reliable. In the latter case, I meet once to learn everything I can about the environments and triggers of anxiety. Then we meet a second time for a 2-hour hypnotherapy session.

At KML, we have several anxiety specialists. We believe that anxiety is highly neurological and we are 'wired' to move through the world in particular ways. Sometimes this can be due to traumas or other things that make us hypervigalent to the world around us. It is also highly genetic in nature. Anxiety can be located in the mind and also sometimes the body, just depending on the person. We are here to help you rewire your mind/body and cope with anxiety in more healthy ways. We also have unique evidence-based ways to help you, including test anxiety methods, EMDR, SSP, and others.
