Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Camano, WA.

Sometimes life can feel really overwhelming. The increasing daily stresses can grow to be a heavy weight pressing down on you. Sometimes you can't get your thoughts and worries to just shut off when you try to relax or go to sleep. For some, panic strikes with a racing heart, making it hard to even breath... Our counselors at Mill Creek Family Services specialize in helping you find the relief you're seeking. With proven strategies that dismantle the power of stress and fears, we help you create a life of increased peace and confidence you're hoping for.

Does worry interfere with your responsibilities or daily life, disrupting normal activities, causing you to miss social events? Does it seem like you can’t stop your mind from racing as you worry about all kinds of things and often expect the worst? If you answered yes, you may be suffering from generalized anxiety. It may seem like your worries are coming from the outside, people and events that are causing you stress. In fact, your worrying may actually be self-generated from your own internal dialog running in the background. I will help you calm down and learn to override the negative thoughts while teaching you valuable self-soothing techniques, bringing peace back to your life.

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.

Some people describe themselves as 'born worriers', 'always anxious or afraid', 'hypersensitive since I can remember.' Others may have gone through something that is creating anxiety and stress at levels they've never experienced before. Either way, with a therapist at Bluestone, you will find ways to interrupt your patterns of thinking and behaving that contribute to your anxiety, worry or stress. Once you can interrupt these patterns, you will have the opportunity to calm your body, shift your thinking and choose courses of action that benefit you, your relationships and your life.

In our modern society, we are constantly surrounded by stressors: work, relationship, past hurts, guilt and shame, illness, abuse, etc.. I use various counselling methods to help you become aware of these anxieties and fears, and then teach ways to reduce their control over your life. Clients routinely experience improved self-image, a renewed sense of hope and purpose, and a greater sense of personal freedom.

Traumatic pasts, expectations of a scary future, extreme sensitivity to the world around us, and the shoulds we impose on ourselves that breed shame wield seemingly insurmountable power when we are in the grip of anxiety and stress. I work with you on establishing healthy boundaries, building skills that drop the nervous system out of stress response, and emotional intelligence and regulation. From the safe enough place of being grounded in the Now, we dip into and unravel what maintains the power of your fears and shame. We work to compassionately release all that blocks your authentic self, your sense of purpose and to normalize and encourage the growth of your beautiful and buried truth.
