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.

Anxiety Counselor

Coach/Change Agent/Consultant

Rochester, New York 14608 | 1-877-606-6161

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. Contact Kevin@kevinflemingphd.com for the ultimate stress and anxiety solution that will literally change your brain's autonomic nervous system patterns while you sit on your butt. 877-606-6161.

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.

Anxiety is often the result of a disregulated nervous system. For many it’s more than just worries and rumination, it’s a whole body response that leaves you agitated and on-edge. Your body is in a constant state of fight or flight and no matter what you do, you just can’t relax. At Spotted Rabbit our therapists use an approach rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and polyvagal theory to help you start to feel safe in your own body so you can honor your feelings without spiraling down with them.

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.

Psychotherapy provides a robust and adaptable process for addressing both anxiety and stress, often integrating evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Through 1 therapy, individuals gain a supportive environment to understand the triggers and patterns associated with their anxiety and stress responses. CBT offers practical techniques to identify and challenge anxious or catastrophic thoughts, develop coping skills for managing worry, and implement relaxation strategies. When underlying traumatic experiences or significant life stressors contribute to anxiety and stress, EMDR can facilitate the processing of these memories, reducing their emotional intensity and impact.
