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!

As a therapist, I know that positive thinking alone and relaxation breathing alone will not resolve your anxiety. I have helped clients with generalized anxiety, social anxiety, presentation anxiety, interview anxiety, and anxiety related to accidents or traumatic events. "Kalpana helped me tremendously to get through a difficult time and helped me see how all the anxiety I have experienced most of my life was linked to early unresolved childhood trauma. My anxiety is still way down and not all-consuming the way it used to be. The therapy I did with Kalpana has helped me more than any other therapy I've done in my whole life. I finally feel "unstuck" and able to move forward".

My approach to anxiety is holistic. Anxiety can have many sources. I have found it helpful to examine both historical issues as well as various aspects of the client’s current life. These include family of origin issues, trauma related issues, current relationships, employment issues, beliefs about yourself and the world, as well as environmental , nutritional and spiritual factors. I use a variety of techniques including conventional talk therapy based upon multiple theoretical orientations, Cognitive Therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique (Energy Psychology), as well as other mind-body techniques.

Anxiety can be paralyzing. Constant worries, doubts, and fears are a normal part of life.

Adults tend to view the world of children as happy and carefree. After all, kids don't have jobs to keep or bills to pay, so what could they possibly have to worry about? Plenty! Even very young children have worries and feel stress to some degree. Stress is a function of the demands placed on us and our ability to meet them. These demands often come from outside sources, such as family, jobs, friends, or school. But it also can come from within, often related to what we think we should be doing versus what we're actually able to do. So stress can affect anyone who feels overwhelmed — even kids. In preschoolers, separation from parents can cause anxiety. As kids get older, academic and social pr....

Psychoanalytic treatment creates a space where you can speak freely to anxiety, fear, trauma, and stress. It is often the case that this highly specific way of speaking alleviates symptoms associated with anxiety, fear, trauma and stress. If the treatment is of sufficient length, it also allows the patient to access the structures, patterns and repetitions underlying their anxiety, fear, trauma or stress. It is often quite difficult to change these patterns and repetitions as they are what we know, what we are familiar with. The work with the psychoanalytically oriented therapist supports changes in these patterns and supports you as you make your way into new territory.
