Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Elmira, ON.

More than ever today, anxiety and stress are on the increase. And anxiety and stress can take on many different symptoms, such as sleepless, racing thoughts, negative self beliefs, physical discomfort and what feels like irrational fear, to name a few. Working with people who are dealing with anxiety and stress is something I find rewarding, as we explore coping strategies and identify new boundaries to live a healthy life.

My approach to treating anxiety and stress often involves integrating cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques and relaxation strategies into the work that I do with clients. By helping clients identify negative thought patterns, I am able to guide them in developing more helpful coping mechanisms. Mindfulness practices such as meditation and breathing exercises foster a sense of calm and present-moment awareness. Additionally, relaxation techniques such as progressive muscle relaxation reduce physical tension. Clients benefit from these methods by experiencing reduced symptoms, improved emotional regulation and enhanced overall well-being.

Anxiety prevents you from being present and puts you in a position where you are either ruminating about the past or worrying about the future. In the moment, it can feel impossible to get out of it, and one cannot simply snap out of it. Similarly, stress can permeate multiple aspects of your life. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as mindfulness exercises to help you manage your anxiety. Eventually, we would also work together to understand why the anxiety shows up and how we can address the original source. Reach out today to book a free consultation.
