Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Union Hill Novelty Hill, WA.

If you are suffering from anxiety, it is more than likely you have tried again and again to make it disappear. You might have tried to convince yourself things will be fine. Or maybe you’ve turned to self-help techniques or even substances to calm your anxiety. I have worked with hundreds of individuals to help them break free from the seemingly endless merry-go-round of the anxiety trap. Using a respectful, compassionate approach, I will show you how to change your relationship with anxiety and find the courage to face your fears today.

By working collaboratively with a skilled therapist, you can better understand the underlying causes and triggers of your anxiety and stress. You'll learn practical coping mechanisms through tailored interventions to challenge negative thought patterns, regulate overwhelming emotions, and develop healthier behaviors and habits. Imagine your life with reduced anxiety symptoms, improved stress management, enhanced self-awareness, and greater overall well-being. Our therapists will also help develop valuable skills for long-term self-care, resilience, and a more balanced approach to handling life's challenges, enabling you to regain control, find inner calm, and thrive daily.

Anxiety and stress are some of the most common concerns that clients bring to me in session. The constant worry of how to get everything done, while navigating a pandemic, in an ever-changing world can seem overwhelming at times. You are not alone. Whether you are looking for help with your daily challenges or feel like stress and anxiety are impacting your relationships, I can help. I look forward to working with you on ways to calm your mind and experience the peace you are looking for.

The treatment of anxiety and stress first begins with the management of the symptoms bringing you in for treatment. Without having these symptoms under control, it is difficult for individuals to begin to examine the reasons behind the anxiety without provoking more anxiety. Once these symptoms are addressed, we will start to examine the life situations you are in and the relationships, stories, family roles and events that may be the roots of the stress and subsequent anxiety. With some time, consistency, openness and commitment to the process, individuals will find anxiety more manageable and the enjoyment of every day returned.

Stress is such a part of the fabric of life and I will help you learn how to manage your stress effectively, learn how to relax and learn to become more resilient. Life coaching with me can focus on helping you achieve a healthy work-life balance. Anxiety can take different forms. If you are living as a prisioner of anxiety, I will help you get free and feel a sense of healthy control over your life. I will help you learn healthy coping skills instead of turning to maladaptive coping mechanisms. I can help you feel empowered because you will be able to manage your feelings, body, thoughts and actions.

Everyone experiences anxiety at some point, but for some the anxiety is so frequent or intense that it interferes with their lives or even triggers panic attacks. I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help my clients get a sense of control over their own anxiety. We collaborate to learn skills to reduce the frequency or intensity of the anxious feelings, to tolerate the anxiety when it does occur so they can still function through it, and to practice habits that reduce stress and improve general mental health.

Anxiety and stress are sneaky. Some anxiety can help us focus, but too much can be paralyzing. From worries to full blown panic attacks, anxiety is not a simple thing to be dealing with. But in sessions with me, you will understand how to notice anxiety and deal with it in ways that free you to experiencing the rest of your life. You can be happy again. If you find that you worry, therapy with me can help you work with the anxiety instead of against it. Let's do it together.

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.

Our approach to anxiety is to first identify patterns in your family of origin. Most clients who struggle with ongoing anxiety are often care takers of their families. Coming to grips with where these do good patterns may actually not be so good can help you as a client lesson your anxiety. Stress is typically more of how a person holds every day anxiety. These forms of anxiety can often be relieved by becoming more familiar with identifying and expressing your feelings in a safe environment.
