Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Aldan, PA.

When we feel a loss of control, it can be scary and disabling. In my practice, I incorporate traditional talk therapy with mindfulness based therapy and yoga practices. Yoga and meditative exercises can help a person regain a sense of control over their thoughts, emotions, and physical body. Being centered within can help significantly reduce anxiety and symptoms created by stress. Take some time for self care and relaxation. I can help you feel more in control of your daily life, rather than feeling as though anxiety has taken control over you.

We all have some level of stress & anxiety that is often experienced as fear & worry. For some, however, the anxiety can become overwhelming. This may involve a specific stressor or an increase in life stressors, a phobia, generalized anxiety or even panic symptoms. It is important to identify what might be triggering the anxiety as well as any predisposing causes. I work with individuals to explore the roots of negative thoughts & beliefs & then begin the process of altering them. I also assist in sorting through ineffective coping strategies & replacing them with new & more helpful strategies. This process helps provide relief by addressing both the anxiety symptoms & the underlying cause.

Anxiety and stress can either be all too familiar or new and shocking experiences for people. No matter what side of that spectrum you find yourself in, it can get to a point where everything that worked before for you when coping with life's issues is no longer working for you anymore. When I meet with clients who are experiencing these particular issues, I, firstly, create a space where they feel understood, empathized with, and safe. I then will help clients to understand the relationship between their thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. Then we will work to tackle each of those three areas in order to create the change that they need and/or are hoping for.
