We all have some level of stress & anxiety that is often experienced as fear & worry. For some, however, the anxiety can become overwhelming. This may involve a specific stressor or an increase in life stressors, a phobia, generalized anxiety or even panic symptoms. It is important to identify what might be triggering the anxiety as well as any predisposing causes. I work with individuals to explore the roots of negative thoughts & beliefs & then begin the process of altering them. I also assist in sorting through ineffective coping strategies & replacing them with new & more helpful strategies. This process helps provide relief by addressing both the anxiety symptoms & the underlying cause.

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. Contact Kevin@kevinfleminphd.com for the ultimate stress and anxiety solution that will literally change your brain's autonomic nervous system patterns while you sit on your butt. 877-606-6161.

We can also work to uncover the roots of stress or anxiety so that you have insight into what started those feelings and what may be triggering them. When you can understand yourself, you can begin to take care of yourself and control those feelings in new ways. Call me to discuss what kind of anxiety you struggle with and we will talk about what kind of help you would like.

In a safe, empathetic environment, I help clients understand how thoughts, behaviors, environmental changes/life situations, moods and physical reactions affect anxiety level. Together, we develop effective coping strategies to reduce anxiety, regain a sense of empowerment and a return to the calm and balanced life we deserve.

Anxiety in children, teenagers, and young adults is on the rise—social anxiety, generalized anxiety, panic disorder, separation anxiety, OCD.... I see kids in middle school who already worry about getting into a good college, and high school teens ruminating about something they said at the lunch table that they're worried will cost them socially. Let me help your child or teen sort out the differences sources of anxiety in his/her life and find ways to reduce them or reduce the level of anxiety they bring out. And, since there are natural sources of anxiety in our lives that cannot be eliminated, I find it important to teach kids how to better manage the anxiety that remains.

Anxiety is often a sign of other, more deeply rooted issues. You may experience the anxiety as the primary issue, or may think that it is the primary issue, or that there is nothing more to the situation than your anxiety, but in reality, oftentimes there are underlying issues that are causing the anxiety, or that are making the anxiety worse. Therapy can help to bring those issues to the surface.
