My approach to Anxiety and Stress Counseling combines compassionate self-inquiry into the roots of anxiety with somatic practices like breathwork to calm the nervous system. Clients learn healthy ways to express emotions, and build authentic, supportive relationships. Emphasis on setting boundaries helps reduce internal conflict, allowing greater emotional balance, resilience, and a sense of safety and well-being in daily life.

Many individuals have anxiety and stress in their lives. Chris has treated clients for stress and anxiety through effective counseling and psychotherapy in Westchester and Putnam County. As a therapist, I partner with clients to offer techniques such as cognitive behavior therapy and solutions oriented counseling yielding good results. Many clients have generalized anxiety, panic attacks, or phobias that Chris has experience in treating these types of anxiety. Stress can impact clients in many ways where depression and anxiety effect your quality of life. With proper stress management counseling, clients can go back to normal functioning and enjoy life again.

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.

We’ll start by getting on the same page: what is bringing you to therapy, what are our goals for incorporating medication, and what would it look like to truly feel “better?” We’ll discuss your past history with both psychotherapy and medication, the current challenges you’re facing, and what you hope to get out of this process. You and I will collaborate on a treatment plan that maps out how we’re going to get there.

Most people who suffer from excessive anxiety are suffering from a form of stage-fright. Some anxiety is genetically based. Some is culturally based. Hal encourages his clients to verbalize their anxieties so they understand it genesis. Which in turn eventually leads to confidence that they can learn to calm themselves down. Hal gives each client exercises to use to lower levels of anxiety and to find creative ways to modulate areas in their life that foment stress.
