Stress and Anxiety Counseling and Therapy

Are you struggling with stress and anxiety?

Stress

Stress may result from things like losing a job or a promotion, moving to a new city, separation or divorce from a spouse, increased family and work responsibilities, or exposure to traumatic events. People cope with stress in very different ways, and some coping strategies are healthier than others.  However, when stress accumulates over time, and your coping resources are no longer working, you may experience a toll on your psychological and physical health.

Anxiety

Anxiety and related disorders can result from poorly managed stress.  Anxiety can manifest in a variety of ways including psychological, physiological, and behavioral reactions.  For example:

  • Do you have frequent and intense worry about something bad happening to you or your loved ones? Do you find it hard to get these worries out of your mind?
  • Do you get anxious in social situations? Are you worried you will say or do something embarrassing or that will lead to rejection or failure?
  • Do you experience feelings of nervousness, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, muscle tension, sweating, or difficulty sleeping?
  • Do you avoid some situations (e.g., social situations; public transportation; or public speaking) that you see as threatening or fearful, although objectively there is no real threat?

Treatment

Treatment can help with stress and anxiety, and typically entails a mixture of therapy, mindfulness strategies, exercise, and yoga. You can learn to break free from these crippling problems and get your life back.
