Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Middleton, ID.

Anxiety and undue stress are serious issues that respond well to talk therapy and medication if needed. Phobias are a type of anxiety and take many forms but all are based on unreasonable fear. Social anxiety may make it impossible to have productive relationships or feel safe in public. Generalized anxiety consists of excessive worry that restricts activities. Panic attacks are an extreme form of anxiety and can make a person feel as if they are going to die. Please call me for a consultation if you experience any of these or other anxiety symptoms.

I helps individuals identify the specific triggers that contribute to their anxiety and stress. By understanding these triggers, individuals can develop strategies to manage them effectively and reduce their impact on daily life. Therapy, particularly cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), focuses on identifying and challenging negative or distorted thought patterns that contribute to anxiety and stress. I assist individuals in replacing irrational or unhelpful thoughts with more realistic and adaptive thinking, leading to a reduction in anxiety and stress levels.

Most people experience stress and anxiety from time to time. Stress can be triggered by an event that makes you feel frustrated or nervous. Anxiety is a feeling of fear, worry, or unease. Examples of normal stress and anxiety include worrying about finding a job, feeling nervous before a big test, or being embarrassed in certain social situations. However, if stress and anxiety begin interfering with your daily life, it may indicate a more serious issue. If you are avoiding situations due to irrational fears, constantly worrying, or anxious about a traumatic event weeks after it happened, it may be time to seek help.
