Counseling for Anxiety and Stress

Feeling stressed or overwhelmed? Blue Sky personal growth counseling is here to help.

 

 You recently have experienced a traumatic personal experience such as job loss, divorce, or illness. Since these experiences, feeling better seems out of reach, and you just haven’t felt like yourself. We often wonder why these feelings are happening to us. The answer is simple: we are human, and these are common human experiences. However, through the lens of anxiety, it certainly doesn’t feel that way and can sometimes feel worse.

 

 As a result, you may be feeling irritable, emotionally overwhelmed, struggling with poor sleep, physical restlessness or can’t seem to settle down, physical and emotional exhaustion, and racing thoughts or excessive worrying almost like your thoughts are on an endless loop making focus and concentration difficult.

 

Anxiety is a part of everyday life when experienced occasionally. Examples include taking an exam, facing a challenge at work, starting a new relationship, or making an important life decision 

 

 Imagine allowing yourself the opportunity to learn and experience the skills and ability to more effectively manage your reactions to stress. Allowing a calmer version of yourself to participate in life, choosing your actions to manage stress rather than always reacting. With many years of training and experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) I help individuals calm the confusion they are experiencing.

 

 CBT is an evidence-based therapy that explores how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. It has proven to be very effective in helping clients manage inner turmoil and feel more confident when faced with stress and anxiety.

 

In partnership, we typically begin by exploring current stressful situations, we then work to identify and reframe distorted or unhelpful thought patterns that are contributing your anxiety. Sometimes, we reflect on your past to understand how these behaviors impact your present. Experiences from primary caregivers who were often negative or critical can have a strong impact on how we learn to cope and experience and manage anxiety. 

 

No matter your past or present experiences, our work together can bring lasting, effective change and relief. You deserve to experience peace and life-changing strategies to decrease stress and anxiety, leading to better days.

 

At Blue Sky personal growth counseling, my goal is to focus on your personal growth, and by choosing to participate in therapy you are making an investment in your overall wellness. Investing in yourself can save you time, money, and improve your motivation and energy, allowing you to move forward to better days.
