South Psychology
Psychologist, PhD
South Psychology, based in Centennial, Colorado, specializes in providing evidence-based mental health therapy for individuals dealing with anxiety or fears. Their skilled clinicians employ a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and exposure and response prevention (ERP). Let’s delve into the details:
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP): ERP is a powerful technique used to treat anxiety disorders, particularly obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It aims to gradually reduce anxiety by exposing individuals to triggering stimuli or thoughts in a safe and controlled environment. Through repeated exposure, people become less physiologically aroused by these triggers, leading to habituation. The response prevention component teaches clients not to give in to compulsive behaviors, ultimately breaking the cycle of anxiety and avoidance.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): South Psychology integrates CBT principles to help clients understand and manage their anxious thoughts. By identifying cognitive distortions and challenging irrational beliefs, individuals learn healthier coping strategies. CBT equips them with practical tools to navigate anxiety-inducing situations, improve emotional regulation, and enhance overall well-being.
Optimizing Functioning: Beyond symptom reduction, South Psychology focuses on optimizing various aspects of life. Whether it’s excelling in school, advancing in a career, or nurturing social connections, their approach aims to empower clients to thrive despite anxiety or fears.

"What If" thoughts trigger anxiety and fears. Most "What If" thoughts never come true, yet you probably spend so much time ruminating on them. I teach you how to explore and challenge your "What If" thoughts by looking at the data or evidence to counter those negative stressful thoughts. I also teach you strategies to calm your body so that it can get out of the "fight or flight" state.

Living with anxiety can turn even the simplest of daily tasks into daunting challenges. What might seem effortless to others can trigger intense worry, restlessness, and even emotional paralysis for those grappling with anxiety. Whether you've inherited a genetic predisposition to anxiety from your family or have been thrust into this state due to uncontrollable life circumstances, the struggle is real. It could even be a blend of various factors contributing to your anxiety. But regardless of its origins, there are effective methods to alleviate anxiety, regain a sense of self-control, cope with everyday hardships, and confront difficult situations with confidence.
As a licensed psychologist, I wield one of my profession's most potent tools: the ability to teach you how to harness the immense potential of your mind to reshape your responses to life's twists and turns. My specialized training in neuropsychology, EMDR, clinical hypnosis, and somatic techniques equips me to offer profound assistance to those battling anxiety. I employ meditation, mindfulness, guided imagery, breathwork, and visualization to guide you in quelling your symptoms and taking charge of your anxiety. Furthermore, I delve into the underlying negative thoughts and core beliefs that may be fueling your anxiety, arming you with invaluable self-empowerment tools to navigate your inner experiences and minimize suffering.
Anxiety is a multifaceted adversary, encompassing various forms such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia, Social Anxiety, Phobias, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Most frequently, it manifests as chronic worry and fear, casting a shadow over every aspect of life. Nonetheless, with the right therapeutic strategies, I can guide you towards seizing control of your thoughts, conquering your anxiety, and embracing a life brimming with serenity and happiness.
