Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in River Edge, NJ.

Stress can be felt from feeling pressure at work (or from not working), from always being on the go but still finding not enough time in the day, from feeling more responsibilities than you can handle, from being unable to deal with small stressors when they come up, from finding some areas of your life having significant effects on other areas of your life, or from many other sources. You can get beyond the effects of this by discussing what is going on and finding alternate strategies to deal with situations. Christopher looks forward to heling you on this journey as you see to come to a place of wholeness and peace.

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.

Your anxiety and/or stress are interfering in your life, or simply, have become debilitating. You are experiencing feelings of danger or panic, nervousness, or physical sensations of weakness, tiredness or trembling.

Through therapy we will explore the underlying causes of your anxiety and provide for you the ability to autonomously address these feelings as well as the often associated fear of failure.

I can help you focus on the things that you are happy and excited about rather than the negatives that "may" happen or the "what ifs" that stop you from even trying.
