Take the First Step Today to Transform Anxiety – Psychotherapy for anxiety services
We all know that stress and anxiety are useful when it comes at the right time and in the right dose. All animals must have the ability to feel anxiety or else they cannot respond to their environment. If you are alive, then you are supposed to be able to be anxious or stressed in certain situations. Humans have a special kind of anxiety, however, because of our brain’s ability to imagine threats and stressors without external stimuli. If you can’t turn this mechanism off, anxiety and fear can become your whole life.
Our psychotherapy for anxiety can help you discover your body’s natural relaxation response that you can learn to stimulate through regular practice until it becomes part of your memorized set-point.
Managing anxiety with cognitive or behavioral strategies only works for a period of time-and usually only when you use them. We can show you how you can relate to your anxiety so that it doesn’t have to be managed. Don’t believe it’s possible? It doesn’t happen overnight, but you may find that our approach, using an advanced mindfulness psychotherapy, is something you haven’t tried before. We will assess with you first to determine if our psychotherapy for anxiety is the right approach for you. You can use it in conjunction with other methods you have found useful but may find it more efficient than some traditional psychotherapy for anxiety or cognitive-behavioral approaches.
No stigmatizing diagnosis, just help.
We don’t usually provide a diagnosis for your symptoms of anxiety unless you request one for insurance reimbursement purposes. Most of us are already highly critical of ourselves when we are anxious. This tends to make us more anxious! While I do believe it’s important to know what is wrong, I have found that most problems are solved by using a method of thinking other than the one that created the problem. This is what we do best with our psychotherapy for anxiety.
