Fear and anxiety can last for a short time and then pass, but they can also last much longer and you can get stuck with them. In some cases they can take over your life, affecting your ability to eat, sleep, concentrate, travel, enjoy life, or even leave the house or go to work or school. This can hold you back from doing things you want or need to do, and it also affects your health. I would love to give you tools to finally get rid of these emotions that hinder you!
Anxiety is a natural emotion that everyone is likely to struggle with at some time. Sometimes that anxiety or fear becomes overwhelming or prevents you from living you life the way that you would like. Our counselors would love to hear more about your personal feelings of anxiety and how we can walk along side you to address these feelings.
Fear and anxiety can interfere with functioning on many levels. Regal Oak Counseling can help with generalized anxiety, social anxiety, general or specific phobias/fears, and panic. Experience freedom through proven methods that help you regain control and live confidently.
To make sure that my client's ability to function daily is not affected, I first create a plan that will assist in resolving the conflict that is the cause of the anxiety. After that, I focus on lowering the total frequency, intensity, and duration of the anxiety by teaching them techniques to use and possibly prescribing medication (s). My clients always remark that their anxiety decreases after a few weeks of treatment, which improves their ability to go about their everyday lives.

Anxiety and Fears are based in the stories we tell ourselves. Each can develop throughout our lives in many different ways. My experience with clients has been that anxiety is steaming from previous traumatic experiences. These experiences can be childhood abuse or neglect, being bullied at school, to name a few. Or simply from a negative experience that becomes a story we continue to tell ourselves and believe. My role is to listen and allow the story to unfold over time. I understand takes time to trust a therapist. And it takes time to tell your story. I enjoy adding Expressive Arts to the process because it tells so much nonverbally. There has been times where it uncovered issues the clients never thought about or shared. I have discovered through my own work and working with clients that it can connect us to our inner self that is full of the insight we need to heal.
