Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Ridley Park, PA.

Anxiety in children, teenagers, and young adults is on the rise—social anxiety, generalized anxiety, panic disorder, separation anxiety, OCD.... I see kids in middle school who already worry about getting into a good college, and high school teens ruminating about something they said at the lunch table that they're worried will cost them socially. Let me help your child or teen sort out the differences sources of anxiety in his/her life and find ways to reduce them or reduce the level of anxiety they bring out. And, since there are natural sources of anxiety in our lives that cannot be eliminated, I find it important to teach kids how to better manage the anxiety that remains.

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.

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.

I learned this during my training over the years in performance and improv… learning to creatively respond to what’s coming at me/being offered by the world with acceptance and openness. And, as a therapist I have seen how creatively responding verses automatically reacting out of anger, fear, stress, frustration, etc can help clients as well as me. In the....
