Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Ste. Genevieve, MO.

Anxiety and stress are a very normal part of life but sometimes life's changes can cause anxiety to become bigger than you can handle. The good news is anxiety is very treatable! I utilize a series of exercises and activities that help my clients understand the anxiety and then control the anxiety. It takes a combination of coping skills to find the peacefulness of life without anxiety, but whether you are a child or adult it is possible to live without it!

Stress unfortunately is a daily fact of life for most of us and the body's response is to trigger the fight or flight system. This can lead to experiencing feelings of anxiety. That is why I see anxiety as a symptom, not a "condition". My goal in treating anxiety is to first help you develop the tools needed to manage your anxiety and then to work on discovering the underlying cause for it. Once we have done that, the goal is to resolve that cause and the anxiety feelings it is causing will disappear.

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! Imagine if you can trick the brain into changing without you telling your conscious mind that you are changing it? Problem with anxiety and stress is that the brain in this state knows you want to change it and it resists.
