Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Willow Park, TX.

Anxiety and stress are a normal part of life. We tend to experience stress when we are responding to a potential threat. We then tend to experience anxiety in reaction to stress. The issues arise when the feelings of anxiety and stress get out of control. I like to offer physical tools to help like exercise, and breathing techniques including breath prayers and tapping. I also provide my clients with scriptures and prayers to meditate on to help take you the worried, distracted thoughts that hep fuel your stressful and anxious feelings.

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.

Our culture breeds anxiety & stress! We help our clients develop coping skills and stress management strategies through talk therapy, biofeedback/neurofeedback (BFB/NFB) to reduce and, over time, eliminate anxious worry and paralyzing stress. Many of our clients are uncomfortable with taking medications to control their symptoms (due to side effects or fear of dependency - which is a real possibility) and opt for BFB/NFB to help reduce their stress while they learn new coping skills & strategies. The goal of treatment is not the avoidance of stress, but the reduction in levels of stress experienced by the client & the elimination of behaviors that produce stress & anxiety

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.
