Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Farmersville, NY.

Most of us experience anxiety and/or stress at some point. However, when it persists and reaches a heightened level of intensity, therapy may be needed and can have a powerful impact on reducing these symptoms. Talk therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy are two approaches shown to have success in treating anxiety. Talk therapy allows for my clients to open up and unburden themselves from the weight of what they may be carrying and validating their experience and emotions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps address and shift any unhealthy thinking or behaviors associated with the anxiety. This can significantly improve ones ability to manage their anxiety.

You're a hard-working, motivated professional. You've managed to create a decent life and career. But behind the facade, you feel the lurking demons others would be shocked to know about. You often feel anxious and isolated, despite having people around you, it's like you're walking around with a sign on your forehead that says "I'm incompetent." Maybe it's hard to trust in relationships or you're constantly fighting off reminders of prior traumas. Through a trauma-focused lens, talk therapy, EMDR, Brainspotting, and other modalities, I help high-functioning, successful professionals heal the wounds of a difficult childhood, ongoing relational issues, or traumatic events.

Anxiety and stress can be accompanied by negative thought patterns that can lead an individual to worry about past events, current events, and future events. Identifying these negative thought patterns as well as triggers can be a stepping stone to relieve some anxiety and stress. I have experience working with adults, teens, and children who possess symptoms of anxiety and stress.

The modern world we live in is full of amazing technological advancements and organizational wonders, but it is also more complex and demanding than ever before. The myriad competing demands of our lives, how busy we are, the continual pressure to do and be more creates enormous stress for all of us. This stress can escalate into anxiety and the added strain of these issues easily begins to short-circuit our ability to function at our best, to feel good, to maintain relationships and responsibilities. I can help you understand the internal and external forces creating these negative feelings, and together we can find strategies for minimizing stress and anxiety so you can feel better.

Approaching anxiety and stress looks different for everyone, but I would work with each person to see what resources the person has to help cope with these feelings so far, and working to provide more resources to them as well. Using Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is helpful to find ways of using mindfulness, discussing emotion regulation, increasing frustration tolerance and more. I can provide the structure of DBT as well as being able to combine Art Therapy so that my clients are able to express themselves as well when discussing these topics.

If you are up at 3am thinking about the “what if’s”, you are in the right place. I believe in providing a safe, nonjudgmental space and exploring to address and manage stress and anxiety. Some of these strategies are for crisis moments: grounding techniques like breathing, tapping, mental exercises; and some of these strategies are preventative: daily expression making, challenging negative thought patterns, wellness planning, self-care. Session can be used to talk through stressors and anxiety triggers; it can be used to practice the above strategies (and more); it can be used to build your understanding of stress and anxiety; creatively release stress and anxiety with art.

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.

My method of working with clients on anxiety , stress and coping varies per individual. How we cope is greatly influenced by how we see the world. Mindset, life experiences, and our current situation can impact that. Overall, integrating Strength- Based, Mindfulness, NLP even DBT approaches enhances our ability to accept, and view our life with a fresh perspective. As we begin to see things through a different lens, this new perspective becomes a powerful tool in developing our mind as a muscle; an essential part of moving toward the life changes you seek. This opens the door to management of unwanted symptoms, anxiety, stress, feelings of overwhelm or low motivation and a path forward.
