Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Rye, NY.

Most individuals will encounter stress and anxiety throughout different times in life. How you manage stress is of key importance. When stress and anxiety overwhelm us we lose our footing. The Cognitive Behavioral approach to how we manage these stressors has become one of the most effective ways to regain control over our thoughts and behavior. Learning mindfulness techniques and recognizing ineffective thought patterns are tools you will learn to regain that footing. Let's work together so stress and anxiety does not continually become so overwhelming. Life's stressors are manageable wen you employ the right tools.

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.

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.

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.

I teach clients tools that they can use to help calm them when they are feeling stressed. I also teach clients specific strategies to keep their stress and anxiety-related thoughts from interfering with their lives. I give clients positive and adaptive responses to stress. I explore with clients the root of their their fears and the importance of not letting those fears keep them from doing the things they want to do.

Many people are seeking help for this currently due to the COVID 19 Pandemic. Children, Teens, and Adults have all had success in working in my practice to overcome symptoms of anxiety and stress. I use a mix of traditional Counseling techniques, art therapy, and holistic techniques to help come to terms with the stressors and anxieties produced my today's world.

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.
