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

Anxiety is becoming more and more common in today's stressful world. We live at a fast, never-ending pace with high expectations and frustrating outcomes. It can be so difficult to work through the anxiety you experience while still maintaining all of the other aspects of your life. I use a mindfulness-based therapy method called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) that has been proven through research to help with anxiety and stress. I love helping my clients who struggle with anxiety to find ways to manage those anxious feelings and thoughts and pursue the things that are most meaningful to them.

Everyone feels anxiety at some point in their lives but when it starts to interfere with your life, counseling can help. Although anxiety can feel debilitating, it is treatable. People with anxiety don’t always share the same symptoms, they vary from person to person. Therapy will help you to reclaim your life and function in a chronically stressful world.

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.

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.

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 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!
