Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Prospect Park, 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.

But if stress is managing you, rather than the other way around, it's time for some help. Not doing so can lead to serious work, relationship, and health problems. There are as many ways to manage stress as there are stressors. Together, we'll find approaches that work for you.

Anxiety and stress impact many persons' lives daily. Some people experience stronger levels of anxiety and stress which can meet the criteria for a mental health disorder, such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder or GAD. Therapy can address this in many different ways. One way is to look at how thoughts and behaviors are linked using a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach. Other modalities such as Narrative Therapy or Eco-Systemic Structural Family Therapy may look at how life events and familial patterns impact one's sense of anxiety/stress and the management of these issues. Another approach is mindfulness which helps clients get in touch with their body to work.

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.

Find yourself stressed due to anxiety or unable to let go of certain thoughts. Sometimes the issues and concerns in our life make us feel very anxious. Using a variety of techinques that focus on how your thoughts affect your feelings and behavior, we strive to help you deal with the anxiety so that it does not run your life. You deserve to be in control of your life and to live life to its fullest.

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.

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.

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.

Do you worry all the time? Is it hard for you to turn off your thoughts? Do anxious thoughts keep you up at night? Do you experience panic attacks in which you have trouble breathing or feel like you're having a heart attack? Alisa can help you learn how to manage symptoms of anxiety with relaxation tools, other stress management tools, and ways to decrease anxious thoughts and feelings.

Successfully treating anxiety and stress is often illusive. Don't forget - stress and anxiety are not the same thing - kind of like thunder and lightening not being the same thing. It is possible to feel stress without feeling anxious. But, when anxiety flares up, stress is always waiting in the wings. We know that anxiety is a fear-based emotion. Genetics gone awry is to blame. Getting relief from stress is often easier than getting relief from anxiety. Stress can be managed to some extent, but anxiety is innate. We are born with it. Not great news I'm afraid, but there are therapies that can help overly-anxious people find relief. Medication is often the treatment of choice.

STRATEGIES FOR CHANGE Dr. Marty has developed his own approach to help folks deal with stress and anxiety which combines short term therapy, EFT, EMDR, short term insight and behavior therapy. When appropriate hypnosis can also be used. Dr. Marty believes that different people need different approaches.
