Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Blaine, MN.

Anxiety has a tremendous impact on the people that struggle with it, as well as the people around them. It saps the energy from their life. Anxiety is fear. Anxiety focuses on the future. In therapy, we try to identify what the fear is and how best to work through it. There are a number of different treatment approaches including talk therapy, exposure therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Somatic Experiencing (SE).

We offer counseling for people struggling with feelings of stress or anxiety. Sometimes this can look like irritability or a need to control. Other times we just have so much on our plate that we need help determining what to let go of or how to manage our time or emotions differently. By utilizing counseling, we will provide you with a space to talk about your concerns and offer tools to help manage anxiety and stress.

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.

Anxiety and stress seem to be growing and becoming worse for many of us, don't they? There are many reasons for this, most of which are not within our ability to control or to change much (most of us cannot influence world events, for example.) There are always, however, a great many things and parts of our lives that we CAN influence, and these are often the things that we are not even thinking about. Learn how to identify what you can control, what you can't control, and how to move through your life with confidence and effectiveness.
