Anxiety or Fears - Anxiety, a common human emotion, serves as a protective mechanism, alerting us to potential threats and challenges. However, when anxiety becomes excessive and persistent, it can significantly disrupt daily life and overall well-being. Individuals experiencing anxiety may feel overwhelmed, restless, and have difficulty concentrating. Physical symptoms like increased heart rate, sweating, and trembling may accompany the emotional distress. Career counseling is a process designed to help individuals explore, identify, and make informed decisions about their career paths. Whether you are a student choosing a college major, a professional seeking career advancement, or someone considering a career change, career counseling can provide valuable guidance and support. Chronic pain or illness counseling is a specialized form of counseling that focuses on helping individuals cope with the emotional, psychological, and social challenges associated with living with chronic pain or a long-term illness. Chronic pain and illness can have a profound impact on a person's life, affecting physical functioning, emotional well-being, relationships, and overall quality of life. Here are some key aspects of chronic pain or illness counseling: Pain and Symptom Management: Counseling can assist individuals in developing coping strategies and techniques to manage their pain or illness symptoms more effectively. This may include relaxation exercises, mindfulness practices, and pain management strategies. Emotional Support: Chronic pain and illness can lead to feelings of frustration, sadness, anger, and anxiety. Counseling provides a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to express and process their emotions, helping them develop healthier ways of dealing with these feelings. Adjustment and Acceptance: Coming to terms with a chronic condition or ongoing pain can be challenging. Counseling supports individuals in navigating the adjustment process and finding acceptance of their new reality, fostering resilience and a positive outlook. Goal Setting and Self-Empowerment: Chronic pain or illness can sometimes lead to a sense of loss of control over one's life. Counseling helps individuals identify new goals, focus on their strengths, and regain a sense of self-empowerment in managing their condition. Communication and Relationships: Counseling can address the impact of chronic pain or illness on relationships with family, friends, and colleagues. It provides tools to improve communication and help individuals build a support network. Grief and Loss: Chronic pain or illness may involve mourning the loss of one's previous lifestyle or abilities. Counseling helps individuals navigate feelings of grief and loss associated with these changes. Stress Management: Chronic pain or illness can create or exacerbate stress. Counseling provides strategies for managing stress and its impact on both physical and emotional health. Advocacy and Self-Advocacy: Counseling can help individuals become better advocates for themselves in the healthcare system, ensuring they receive the support and treatment they need. Education and Information: Counselors may provide information about the condition, treatment options, and community resources, empowering individuals to make informed decisions about their health. Chronic pain or illness counseling is usually conducted by mental health professionals experienced in working with individuals facing medical challenges. It can be delivered through individual counseling, group therapy, or a combination of both, depending on the individual's needs and preferences. Overall, chronic pain or illness counseling aims to improve the individual's ability to cope with the psychological and emotional aspects of their condition, enhance their overall well-being, and support them in leading fulfilling lives despite the challenges they face.

Anxiety or Fears

Matthew Syzdek

Psychologist, PhD, LP, MBA
If you feel on edge, anxious, irritable, or just can't relax, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. Dr Syzdek built a small boutique practice where he limits the number of clients he treats, so he can give his clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. Dr Syzdek combines compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again. Dr Syzdek treats anxiety and related conditions typically using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and exposure therapies. These approaches combine mindfulness, acceptance, and cognitive strategies to help you live your life again and find relief from the the struggle.

How do you know you have experienced anxiety? Because you are breathing—we all experience anxiety from time to time, but for some of us that anxiety becomes overwhelming as we struggle to think straight, worry, deal with racing thoughts that just seem to go round and round in our head, or maybe even have panic attacks or heart palpitations. With all of that going on in a brain that is hypervigilant and focused on keeping us safe, life can sometimes feel as if things are just never going to get better! Whether you are experiencing anxiety relative to a situation in your life that is causing you a lot of stress, are experiencing worries that are keeping you up at night, are having specific fears or phobias that are keeping you captive, or whether you are finding yourself with panic attacks or traumatic reexperiencing, therapy can really help! Together, we can work to help you figure out the root causes of your anxiety as well as to learn ways to help you manage those anxious symptoms. We can help you learn skills to help you deal with severe anxiety and ways to prevent that mild anxiety from getting worse. With my experience of 20 years as a licensed mental health counselor, I have worked with many people struggling to find a sense of peace while dealing with any of the anxiety disorders. As someone who is no stranger to anxiety myself, I have sought out specialized training over the course of my career to help me… so I can help you. Even if you think that things might be hopeless right now, there is real relief possible in terms of managing your anxiety and being able to live a life you love. My counseling style is warm and interactive and I strongly believe that ANYONE can make changes in their life. My passion is helping YOU create a life you love and relationships that nurture and support you. It takes courage to take the steps to create a more fulfilling, happier life and to take the first steps towards making changes. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you!

Counselor/Therapist
Anxiety is often rooted in our existence in life, and it involves angst about big life issues such as life’s meaning, freedom, and personal responsibilities. This type of anxiety might be triggered by growing older or facing difficult life changes. While it can cause great suffering, anxiety can also help us identify our life values and create personal goals, so you can live life well.

One of the tools that I use for helping clients with anxiety and/or fears is EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) which is a form of emotional acupuncture. I also utilize other mindfulness and grounding techniques that can help from having anxiety and fear paralyze you and take your life away.
