Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Englewood, NJ.

Most anxious/stressed clients feel trapped by the circumstances that life has presented them. By introducing some elegantly simple tools, you will discover that there are openings (physically and energetically) that can dissolve frustrating anxiety/depression. Importantly, you become aware of perceptions and experiences not previously available to you. The tools/exercises that we use in session experientially shift us out of our everyday minds - This allows us access to another intelligence within a naturopathic pathway supported by our bodies, our hearts and nature.

Many people struggle with anxiety and stress, and I work frequently with these issues in my practice. These issues take different forms for each person, and therapy is individualized for the person with whom I am working. There are thoughts and thought patterns that contribute to a person's anxiety and sometimes panicky symptoms. Through integrating cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques with also exploring the underlying emotions that are contributing to the anxiety, we can work together to reduce your anxiety and stress.

Everyone experiences anxiety at some point, but for some the anxiety is so frequent or intense that it interferes with their lives or even triggers panic attacks. I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help my clients get a sense of control over their own anxiety. We collaborate to learn skills to reduce the frequency or intensity of the anxious feelings, to tolerate the anxiety when it does occur so they can still function through it, and to practice habits that reduce stress and improve general mental health.

I will help you with anxiety and stress in a variety of ways. Sometimes just talking can calm and de-stress you, especially if we explore unhelpful thoughts or poor time management that hinder you. Othertimes, I will teach you breathing exercises, meditation, EMDR and hypnosis that are natural healing agents. I will encourage you to engage in physical activity, spend time in nature, eat foods that are natural antianxiety benefits, or if appropriate, get a pet. If you wish, I will help you gain perspective by developing a spiritual approach.

Anxiety and stress can very easily become part of your everyday life whether you are just an "anxious person" or life experiences have caused an increase in anxiety and stress. With the use of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, play therapy (for children) and solution-focused techniques we will work together to reduce your symptoms so you can experience life through a positive lens.

Everyone feels anxiety and stress from time to time. But when self-critical thoughts and self-defeating patterns of behavior dominate, getting through the day can be overwhelming. Learning about anxiety and stress, -- its signs, symptoms, and causes is the first step to overcoming the problem. Together we can explore the triggers that lead to your anxious and stressed feelings and develop new coping mechanisms for relief.

My experience is that everyone can overcome anxiety. Whether the anxiety is experienced as physical discomfort in the belly, chest or throat; or annoying, intrusive thoughts in the form of "what if's;" or general restlessness, counseling can be wonderfully helpful and curative. My own method includes: 1. teaching relaxation and breathing techniques, 2. mindfulness practice or hypnosis to enhance your ability to focus, as well as to support your sense of control over your own thoughts, and 3. psychotherapy to help you move forward in your life by understanding and overcoming the deeper causes of your worries and discomfort.

Everyone experiences some anxiety and stress, but it becomes a problem when the anxiety affects you on a daily basis or you worry so much that you feel you can no longer fully enjoy your life. Defining what triggers your anxiety is the first step. Figuring out what causes a rational concern to balloon out of control and overwhelm you is the next. I work with individuals whose moderate stress levels have become more disturbing and uncomfortable, people with generalized anxiety, and those suffering from severe panic attacks.

Does your life feel overwhelming to you? Do you spend too much time struggling to make decisions? Are dread and nervousness part of your daily life? Do you feel anxious spending time alone and/or full of dread at the prospect of socializing? Sharing your concerns in a safe environment can help dampen down anxiety and provide an opportunity to address the underlying issues.

There are many types of anxiety, and many reasons why people become nervous or anxious. At the Lukin Center, we work with all individuals impacted by anxiety and stress. Whether a person is going through a temporary period of increased stress or if a client has been distressed by worries his or her entire life, our therapists are able to help clients control their thoughts, learn to relax even during feared situations, and reach their goals.

Feelings of anxiety and stress are the number one reason people seek out therapy with me. We live in a fast paced and solution oriented world. Here in New York these pressures are often multiplied. This can lead to extreme stress and anxiety. With a focus on mindfulness and stress reduction I will use motivating techniques to both give you tools to minimize these feelings as well as ways to mitigate it in the future.

I help people identify the triggers to their anxiety and develop a system to deal with stress before it deals with them! What would your life be like if you weren't continually activated in negative ways by stress? We will work together to make small steps toward change. Clients report less chronic pain when they are managing anxiety in healthy ways. It is possible to reduce anxiety and live life in a more vivid way, even if you situation is not optimal. I can teach you to acknowledge and release these negative thoughts, thus releasing the "trauma" that has built up in your body (stored stress and anxiety)

Anxiety in any form is an uncomfortable physiological experience. And it is a natural human habit to want to avoid the situations that cause this uncomfortable feeling. The problem is that anxiety follows us as we go, claiming greater territory in our lives, as we, in turn, shrink away from new experiences and opportunities. As your therapist, I will help you change your relationship to anxiety. Through our work, you will find that by deliberately seeking out that discomfort and embracing it, anxiety retreats. This is the path to regaining lost ground, claiming new territory, and increasing your self-confidence and agency.
