Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Cypress, TX.

Anxiety comes from fear. God tells us He "has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." We can access that power by making a conscious decision every day to surrender our anxiety to him. Trust God to take care of you, but also to guide you to others, including friends, clergy, and treatment professionals, who can help you walk this difficult path.

Navigating anxiety's grip requires a holistic approach, and that's where my expertise comes in. My therapy melds Somatic Experiencing with psychodynamic insights and CBT strategies, targeting anxiety's roots and its surface manifestations. Through understanding the unconscious processes and attachment patterns influencing your anxiety, combined with practical skills for managing symptoms, we embark on a journey toward lasting relief. My focus is on empowering you to transform anxiety into a source of strength, guiding you to a place of calm, clarity, and resilience. Together, we'll explore your path to tranquility.

Lake Austin Psychotherapy offers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety disorder as well as EMDR (Eye Movement, Desensitization and Reprocessing) to accelerate symptom relief from anxiety, stress and panic disorder. Somatic Experiencing is also incorporated to promote mind-body connections and autonomic regulation for heightened nervous system response.

Anxiety and stress make it impossible for you to think through immediate issues let alone work through complex interpersonal conflict and trauma. I work with my clients on mindful approaches to anxiety. It's important to utilize skills that help us relax our bodies so that our minds can come back online and work through the actual problems we face.

As a high-achieving man, anxiety and stress comes with the territory. And you wouldn’t be where you are today in life unless you’ve handled it pretty well until now. But most successful men find that anxiety eventually impacts them. Whether it’s slowly been eating at you for years, or you’ve just experienced your first panic attack, you’re not going crazy. There are solutions, and this can get better. I help men learn practical stress-management techniques, but I don’t stop there. I also help them identify the root causes of their stress and anxiety, and use research-proven EMDR therapy to systematically target them. The results are measurable, evidenced by deeper calm and clarity of mind.

We all experience anxiety at times. Anxiety is a way our body tells us that something is wrong. By using tried and true techniques to help you become more aware of what is occurring in your body, mind and emotional self, we help you to identify where you feel the anxiety in your body, how you feel it emotionally and the thoughts you experience when anxiety occurs. You can make meaningful changes in your life by learning how to slow these thoughts down while we work together to unravel the root causes of your stress and anxiety. We can help you to learn relaxation techniques and in some cases we collaborate with your Dr. to help you manage symptoms while working towards long term solutions.

I provide practical tools to regain control over overwhelming thoughts and emotions. Through cognitive-behavioral techniques and dialectal behavior therapy, clients can learn to identify triggers, challenge negative patterns, and cultivate a sense of calm. I collaborate with clients to develop personalized strategies that empower them to navigate anxiety-inducing situations, ultimately fostering greater resilience and emotional well-being.
