Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in East Greenville, PA.

We all experience anxiety and stress. Life as a human can be very difficult and we are constantly adjusting and trying to find and maintain safety. Anxiety and stress are alert systems that help us to pay attention to what we need. We can learn to manage symptoms and utilize tools to have more control over how we handle the constant changes we face.

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.

To help you manage your stress and anxiety symptoms, we start with understanding the nature and patterns of your symptoms in relation to environmental triggers, traumatic life events, and unhelpful thinking patterns that influence your daily perspective. Using a collaborative alliance, we will look for better ways to manage both your external stressors and internal reactions. A cognitive-behavioral approach offers practical methods to understand how thought patterns influence emotional reactions and behaviors. By redirecting and re-framing your thoughts with alternative thoughts, you can experience a reduction in unpleasant emotions and an increase in personal effectiveness.

We have come a long way since the days of running from a tiger in the forest...or have we? Though our modern lives are far removed from that ancient experience, our bodies are not! Understanding how the survival system of our minds and body play out in modern day life is key to understanding how to manage stress and anxiety. I work with clients to learn how to develop skills and insights that move them from surviving to thriving and effectively increase their capacity to enjoy life!

I see this as the "common cold" of mental health issues that every client struggles with on some level. I help clients look at possible past and current factors that may be creating or maintaining the stress and anxiety. If the anxiety/stress is coming from past or current traumatic experiences, EMDR therapy helps clients re-process them to come to a more adaptive view that aids healing. I teach relaxation, deep breathing, and meditation practices to be used at home to decrease the impact of stress and anxiety on a client's life. Finally, I help clients identify and rid themselves of unhealthy relationships that may be creating or maintaining the anxiety.

Many of our clients have stress in their lives. Stressors can include parent- child conflicts, marital conflict, relationships, or stress caused by an event in their lives. Some of these may include divorce, abuse, significant loss or change. We believe that talk therapy can be very effective in the treatment of anxiety and stress. Our goal as therapists is to help clients find ways to alleviate or minimalize stress and anxiety, and to help them achieve positive mental health.
