Anxiety Treatment in Simi Valley
Moorpark and Ventura County, CA
Has anxiety taken over your thoughts, work life, and relationships?
You’re constantly flooded with thoughts that tend to spiral out of control. It often interferes with your ability to work, engage with others, and simply relax. You feel like no one understands you and often feel insecure and lonely. You wonder if you’ll ever be able to enjoy life and have inner peace again.
Imagine going to events, meeting people, driving, or resting with a calm mind. Being able to trust your thoughts and make decisions without overthinking or worrying.
There are practical strategies and skills to help manage your anxiety, and I can teach you how.
My Approach to Anxiety Treatment:
Validate: We’ll dive into your world and your thoughts. I’ll ask questions and truly listen in an effort to fully understand your struggles, where they come from, and why you feel the need to cope the way you do. This will give me a well-rounded understanding of your personal, unique experience of anxiety.
Educate/Identify: You’ll be educated about anxiety, where it comes from, and how this information personally applies to your life. You’ll feel a sense of normalcy and compassion for yourself. We will work together to identify the unhealthy thought patterns that trigger and exacerbate your anxiety symptoms.
Equip: You’ll learn skills to take control of your thoughts. I’ll provide you with practical tools to manage your anxiety and negative thinking. This will help to build your confidence in yourself - that you can handle the next twist or turn in life without giving into the negative thinking spiral.
Maintain: Take the tools you’ve learned and generalize them to all aspects of your life. This stage of therapy may include decreasing sessions to help build your confidence and independence in dealing with anxiety and moving forward trusting that YOU CAN DO IT.
