Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in New Palestine, IN.

Anxiety and stress can be crippling for anyone - children and teens included. Whether it is related to school, friends, work, or home, I try to help my clients find the best solutions to easing their stress and anxiety and teach them how to prevent and/or cope with it in the future. Often times, this can include time management, expressing needs more effectively, and utilizing relaxation techniques. For children, this may involve a plan that utilizes teachers, school counselors, or other school officials who can help in a time of stress or anxiety at school.

Life comes with a certain amount of stress and anxiety. But when stress and anxiety begin to keep you from living the full and relationally fulfilling life you want and deserve, it may be time to rethink your current strategies and ways of coping. Helping people find more effective and productive ways of regulating their emotional and relational self is often a key factor in helping them reduce their stress and anxiety. Take the first step in living a less stressful and less anxious life by scheduling your free 30 minute consultation at Chrysalis Connections Counseling and Training Center where we create connections one relationship at a time.

I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and adults to reduce general anxiety and eliminate panic attacks. I use cognitive behavioral and dialectal behavioral therapy to identify your anxiety triggers, explore thoughts that create anxiety, explore underlying meanings, and use mindfulness and coping skills to manage panic. I use attachment and play therapy with youth to address separation anxiety and reduce test & school anxiety. I specialize in reducing hypervigilance and insomnia from trauma, sexual assault, and military deployment. Through our work together, you will be able to take back your life from anxiety.

Anxiety is another word for fear. Let's face it, living your life in fear is no fun! Like anxiety, stress is about a fear of the future and what it holds, and an over-belief in the illusion of control. Too much of a future-focus causes feelings of worry and panic that keep us from living with peace-filled hearts. This unbalance can be corrected at the core level, healing the causes of the feelings of anxiety. The product I sell is peace. Inner peace. A quietness in your spirit that you've only dreamed of. I can help you find it.

Anxiety and Stress are silent killers. They tax body, soul and spirit. They drain a person of what is needed not only for today - but for tomorrow as well. If not dealt with properly, these things can lead to mental and physical health issues. God has a better plan. He knew Life would be stressfull and has given us assurance of how to deal with such things. We'll take you on a wonderful journey of learning how to put stress and anxiety off - and in its place put something better on, something that really works!

Anxiety is a problem that is characterized by behavioral "paralysis" and avoidance. The more we avoid the things we fear, the stronger the anxiety becomes and the more immobilized we become. The result can be a downward spiral that increasingly disengages and isolates us from the enjoyable experiences that the world has to offer. At LifeCare Counseling Services, we provide a supportive environment and a guided plan to help you learn to face the things you fear and to re-engage in life. We will work collaboratively with you to set a manageable pace for your plan. With each successive exposure to the things you fear, increased confidence results, and anxiety diminishes!

Do you feel out of control, scared, worried? When we feel out of control, that's when we experience anxiety and stress. We want to control all aspects of our lives, but we are unable to control anything or anyone, except ourselves. I can help you feel move towards feeling peace even when others are not acting in a way that we would like them to act.

My approach to anxiety and stress first involves identifying the source or root causes. Using a solution focused approach we will identify what areas of life can be changed or controlled to reduce the anxiety. We will then identify areas that cannot be changed or controlled and implement coping strategies which may be either cognitive and/or behavioral in nature. I use Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy to address distorted thinking and help develop healthy coping strategies for anxiety, panic attacks and phobias. We will establish collaborative and quantifiable treatment goals in order to track progress and reach agreed upon objectives so that change can be realized.
