Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Siler City, NC.

Anxiety and stress are part of being human, but are certainly not always easy to cope with. I help people strengthen their abilities to cope with life's challenges, enabling them to better work through present and future obstacles. Anxiety can result from ongoing situations, chemical imbalances, or past hurts. I use mindfulness based approaches, cognitive behavioral approaches, and strengths based approaches to best address each person's hurdles. I also help people reduce the amount of stress or anxiety they have in their lives through a combination of psychotherapy and coaching.

Anxiety can take away your personal power at the most important moments and start to have too much control over your behavior. Over time, chronic stress can break down a healthy view of yourself. Starting from our first session, I will support your understanding of anxiety, its biological effects, and its impact on your relationships. I will support you to build on developing insight and develop habits that support anxiety and stress reduction. At the end of therapy, you will have a clear plan for sustained control over anxiety and chronic stress. I'm reachable through phone for a free 20-minute consultation to further discuss your needs and answer any questions about my therapy approach.

I bring to counseling 30+ years study and practice of mind-body-emotion connections and a wide variety of relaxation techniques. Since not every exercise works for every client, we'll experiment and co-create a practice tailored to each individual. In counseling sessions, presentations, workshops, and retreats, clients learn to release the mental, physical, emotional tensions that impair productivity, creativity, and joyful living. Cultivate the habit of using "micro-moments" and mindfulness to refresh and replenish without adding to an already busy schedule. Discover how you can re-energize by putting more play in your day!

GraceRenewal Counseling traces mental and emotional anxiety and stress to the unmet inborn temperament (psychological) need for leadership support, primarily in the home and workplace, but also in the Church, for 1) learning information (about God, ourself, and how the world works), 2) experiencing God's unconditional Love (Value) for every person, and for 3) decision-making (scheduling / budgeting time for performance of duties and responsibilities). GraceRenewal also provides counseling support to counselees for giving appropriate opportunity of influence to effectual resources that support renewed health and happiness.

I say life happens to everyone. People face challenges in life that bring them a great deal of stress that leads to anxiety issues. Most people do not realize that even too much good stress can bring on anxiety as stress is stress. I help people develop coping mechanisms to deal with their anxiety along with pushing people to address life's challenges head on in an intentional manner and not an emotionally reactive one. I teach people how to manage panic attacks, what is going on with the brain during a panic attack, and what the studies show is the best way to manage panic attacks.

In today’s society, stress and anxiety have become very prominent features of daily life. In many ways we have evolved to have much more comfortable lives, but with a feeling of insecurity as to how long it will last because of how unstable it can feel at times. Many individuals avoid this stark reality by a variety of coping mechanisms that in the end do not give them the peace of mind they are looking for. There is a way to accept that life is unpredictable by changing our outlook. Cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices can help individuals change the way they look at their lives by encouraging individuals to see life in a more flexible way. Ultimately the goal is to live f

Anxiety, Panic, Social Phobias, Obsessive Compulsive Disorders, and other Mood Disorders can control and interfere with an individual's daily functioning and enjoyment of life. I try to use a variety of psychoducational materials, bibliotherapy, relaxation, mediation, and mindfulness exercises to help the client learn to manage and even control the anxiety or stress as opposed to the opposite, putting the individual back in charge of his or her life choices.
