The pandemic has magnified our stress levels. We will identify your specific areas of concern, work on clarifying your goals for how you want to feel and be, and increase your coping skills repertoire.
Stress can take a physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional toll on you. Strategies can help you bring yourself into balance and increase functioning.
Chronic stress can impact your physical and mental well-being. Therapy provides tools and techniques to manage stress effectively, including relaxation exercises, time management strategies, and cognitive restructuring. Together, we’ll work on identifying stressors and developing practical solutions to enhance your overall resilience and well-being.
Recognizing that your emotional health and mental health are your power sources, you are in the right place, a safe place to receive deep support in making the necessary shifts towards relief.
Our therapists bring 20+ years of combined personal and professional experience in understanding and approaching the unique symptoms and struggles the role of stress plays in our lives (personally, professionally, and globally) and how it negatively impacts all aspects of life. We will work with you to problem solve how to cope with stress to help achieve a healthier lifestyle.
My approach to working with stress involves integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Somatic Experiencing (SE). ACT helps clients accept their stressors without judgment and commit to value-driven actions that promote resilience and well-being. EMDR is used to process and resolve traumatic or distressing experiences that may contribute to heightened stress, allowing clients to release their emotional hold. SE addresses the physiological impacts of stress, helping clients release stored tension and restore a sense of balance and calm. This comprehensive approach supports clients in managing stress more effectively, enhancing their emotional regulation, and improving overall quality of life.
Stress management is important to everyday functioning. At London Leaf Counseling, we explore best practice to promote relaxation and finding peace in the chaos.
I work with clients who struggle with Stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship or family issues. During our sessions, we will collaborate to create a plan for addressing them that helps you get your life back. I practice from a Holistic perspective and commonly employ EMDR and other effective modalities with helping clients achieve balance and purpose in their lives and creative solutions to their problems. This includes exploring past issues and trauma that may be a factor presently.
