Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Oak Ridge North, TX.

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.

We recognize the profound impact that anxiety can have on your life. Our clinicians offer a supportive and compassionate space to help you navigate through the challenges of anxiety. Through personalized treatment approaches, we work collaboratively to explore the root causes of your anxiety, identify triggers, and develop practical coping strategies. Whether you're experiencing panic attacks, social anxiety, or generalized anxiety disorder, we're here to provide you with the tools and support needed to regain control of your life. Together, we'll embark on a journey towards finding peace, resilience, and a renewed sense of calm.

Anxiety is supposed to be an ally. It is a primal emotional experience that is supposed to help you avoid danger. It forecasts a potential future, but in the modern world, that future may not exist. The dirty trick of anxiety is often the worrying about worrying about worrying about worrying about worry. Stopping the cycle through increased understanding of the biological systems involved in anxiety and learning how to change the bodies reactions begins the process of turning anxiety back into an ally instead of an enemy you have to fight.

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.

I use dialectical behavioral therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational enhancement, and person-centered techniques to assist individuals, couples, and families in reaching their goals. My purpose is to help improve coping skills, increase personal happiness, develop closer relationships, balance life, and discover a higher quality of life.

If you find yourself over-reacting...to relationships, work, school - stress may be emotionally "stretching" what had been a healthy tolerance-set. Life happens, and unfortunately so does intense emotional "push back." Sometimes temperament sets us up for a steeper reaction. For others, early wounding and a history of unsatisfactory family bonding creates unresolved tension. Much of this energy can be processed, clarified and worked through. But more dramatic and destructive pieces of our past can also haunt our functioning. Checking into the "why's" and "wherefore's'" of emotional fallout creates a base of understanding and release which can be powerful - it's a journey worth sharing!

Anxiety and stress are two things that the majority of us would like to get rid of. Life today is full of stress and it is almost impossible to get away from it, especially in the city of Houston. Anxiety in my opinion, is a normal reaction when we are about to do something uncomfortable. As soon as we realize that, we can look for ways to manage that discomfort and that is exactly what we will work on together. Self-care is a huge part of it and until you exhibit good self- care, chances are that you will feel stressed and anxious. We will work on making better decision around self-care.

Anxiety & stress are often experienced as symptoms that can range from a level of mild discomfort to a feeling of debilitating distress. Anxiety & stress can take a significant emotional toll on one's mental health, and they can also have severely negative effects on one's physical health. Therefore, it is important to closely monitor personal levels of anxiety & stress in order to recognize when professional intervention should be sought. In seeking my services, clients can be assured that they will receive empirically supported treatments that have been shown to provide superior outcomes. For anxiety & stress, CBT methods are implemented to teach clients how to better manage their symptoms

We hold our anxiety and stress in our body. We feel tension, gut problems, hot flashes, disrupted sleep and more. I work with anxiety and stress by helping individuals learn and develop tools to re-regulate their nervous system. When we have a coherent and fluid nervous system, we can do difficult things without feeling paralyzed by overwhelming fear.

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.
