Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Brooklyn Park, MN.

The impact of anxiety & stress on a person's life can often tumble into a form of numb debilitation! But staying stuck here does not have to be the answer of the rest of your life. I work with my clients to understand the reasons for the anxiety & stress and we work toward building healthy coping skills that can help to reduce, and manage, the overall impact of these symptoms.

Everyone experiences anxiety in life. But when it becomes too much, it saps the very life out of us and causes our quality of life to suffer. This is where action needs to be taken and you must proactively find a therapist who can help you learn effective anxiety management techniques. People who suffer from anxiety often just take medication and fail to utilize proven anxiety reduction methods. The approach I use is to help clients learn how to calm the physiological reactions to anxiety while actively changing the negative thought patterns of worry and fearful thinking. Anxiety is an ingrained pattern of responding to stress which you can hange!

Anxiety/Stress and Depression many times go hand in hand. We will work together to identify and understand the behaviors, emotions, ides, life problems and events that may be contributing to your anxiety/stress about life. We will determine goals and strategies to help restructure ways of thinking and mistaken beliefs that may perpetuate anxiety/stress and/or depression. You will learn coping techniques and problem solving skills to regain a sense of pleasure and control over your life. Together we can move forward toward the life you desire.

Anxiety and stress can have an impact on all aspects of our lives. When they are at appropriate levels, they can be helpful, but when they are too present, problems arise. I help people who come to see me identify how much stress is too much, and provide tools they can use to manage more effectively. I use brain based science and mindfulness techniques to help reduce the negative impact anxiety and stress have on people's lives.

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.

Everyone feels anxiety and stress sometimes. But, when it starts to feel overwhelming, exhausting, unrelenting, and limiting, I can help. My approach is one of curiosity and compassion. I explore why anxiety and stress have become apart of you. What adaptive function did they originally serve for you? Are they present to protect you from fear of future failure or pain? Once we acknowledge and understand their original purpose, we work on finding new meaning for these defense mechanisms, and eventually let them go.

Are you anxious and stressed? Are you worried all the time? Do you feel overwhelmed? Do you have a number of different fears? I would love to come alongside you and help you with your hardest feelings. I want to understand your thoughts and feelings while providing some practical tools that will help you cope and get you feeling better. Reach out for a free consultation.

I provide support and practical feedback to help individuals and couples effectively address personal and relationship challenges. I integrate cutting edge techniques built to improve your relationship and take it to places you doubted were possible. With compassion and understanding, I work with each individual, couple and family to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing.

I use a mindfulness-based approach as well as nutrition to help clients increase self-care and learn to cope with stress and anxiety. There are some supplements and herbs that my clients have found to be helpful for calming stress. I teach mindfulness skills that include breathwork, tapping, gratitude and meditation to improve a sense of being grounded and centered.

Anxiety and stress seem to be growing and becoming worse for many of us, don't they? There are many reasons for this, most of which are not within our ability to control or to change much (most of us cannot influence world events, for example.) There are always, however, a great many things and parts of our lives that we CAN influence, and these are often the things that we are not even thinking about. Learn how to identify what you can control, what you can't control, and how to move through your life with confidence and effectiveness.

As a high-achieving man, anxiety and stress comes with the territory. And you wouldn’t be where you are today in life unless you’ve handled it pretty well until now. But most successful men find that anxiety eventually impacts them. Whether it’s slowly been eating at you for years, or you’ve just experienced your first panic attack, you’re not going crazy. There are solutions, and this can get better. I help men learn practical stress-management techniques, but I don’t stop there. I also help them identify the root causes of their stress and anxiety, and use research-proven EMDR therapy to systematically target them. The results are measurable, evidenced by deeper calm and clarity of mind.

We offer counseling for people struggling with feelings of stress or anxiety. Sometimes this can look like irritability or a need to control. Other times we just have so much on our plate that we need help determining what to let go of or how to manage our time or emotions differently. By utilizing counseling, we will provide you with a space to talk about your concerns and offer tools to help manage anxiety and stress.

My approach to managing anxiety is twofold. I first evaluate your situation & understand the external factors that impact you. Next we design and implement a plan to address those factors. Skills like assertiveness, and limit setting may be used to deal with the external stressors. The second thing we do is increase your coping skills. We can use specific behavioral plans, changing self-talk, letting go, and using social supports to increase your resiliency. Stress reduction methods such as meditation, exercise, spiritual resources, and breathing exercises may be used. With time and some effort, you will find that your self-doubt and anxiety will be replaced will confidence & self-esteem.
