Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Englewood, NJ.

Anxiety and stress are interrelated. Generally people with anxiety disorders, including obsessive-compulsive disorder, tend to internalize conflicts that cause them to always be stressed out, which affects their thinking and behavior. Through an eclectic psychotherapy approach that includes psychodynamic, cognitive and behavioral work, I help them release the fears and angers that underlie the build-up of stress. In time they learn to moderate their feelings, cope better with stressful situations and live a calmer life.

Anxiety is like a little monster that gets bigger and bigger if it isn't kept in check. I can help you or your child get past anxiety by slowly learning to face each fear. Of course, this is easier said than done! I teach a host of techniques to help with this, such as positive self-talk, role-playing, calming techniques and guided imagery. With children I also introduce play therapy- which usually feels like a lot of fun. Getting past anxiety is an empowering and confidence building experience for clients of all ages! Let me help you in this journey...

Many people have anxiety. Anxiety is the most common problem that clients bring into psychotherapy. Anxiety can create feelings of fear, worry, uneasiness, and dread. Sometimes you can say what it is bothering you. Your job or relationship may be causing you stress and you want to solve the problems. You don’t know how to deal with the mounting pressures. Friends will often say “don’t worry about it” but that doesn’t help. Sometimes you don’t really know what is bothering you it just is. I can show you how spot these feelings before they overwhelm you and what you can do about it. We’ll get clear on what has been difficult for you and how have you been feeling.

Anxiety is a signal your mind is sending to alert you of a real or perceived threat. For example, you are stressed about work: perhaps anxiety is a sign that your fear you are not good enough. There are situations in life when you need a signal so that you make the right decision at the right moment; but when anxiety is too intense, you feel paralyzed and cannot make decisions because all options seem to lead to the worst case scenario. I will help you learn from your anxiety so that you can look beyond the discomfort and understand what is the concern or fear underneath it; then we will work directly with that fear or concern.

We live in an age of high anxiety and stress. Anxiety symptoms include muscle tension, feelings of restlessness, feeling on edge, irritability, and fatigue. Many people also experience difficulty sleeping.

In these sessions you'll learn how to turn a threat into an opportunity. How you can recognize and than pause when you're in fight or flight mode. This is an old, antiquated program, or story. You'll learn how to challenge this old story, to explore different ones and than to choose and act on your newer , better version. Lastly, you'll begin to understand what it means to "try easier" and how changing your pace and slowing down allows you to move from anxiety and doubt, to confidence and taking control.

Managing anxiety and stress often means learning some new skills, and that's where I come in. I've helped countless people with techniques that help them regain control. Sometimes medication is necessary, but more often anxiety and stress can be greatly reduced simply by using the right techniques. Actually, I've helped people turn their stress or anxiety into learning experiences that leave them feeling more empowered and competent in controlling their lives.

Anxiety is simply a difficult thing to experience. It ranges from a constant feeling of distress to an acutely overpowering feeling that seems to consume. It is also quite common. Years of working with this issue have made to clear to me that part of mastering anxiety is gaining a working knowledge of why ones gets anxious. Insight is not enough however. When awareness is achieved then one can move to replace old patterns with new ones. It is these new and increasingly adaptable patterns that leads to a successful mastery of anxiety.

People often suffer from anxiety and stress for many years before they eventually take action on it. Many people simply get used to constantly feeling under stress or simply feel like there is no hope for them. Dr. Peter Berzins has specialized in the treatment of stress and anxiety for the past fifteen years. He has helped numerous people live fuller lives by significantly decreasing stress and anxiety in their lives.

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.
