Anxiety Therapy in Nashville
We will work together to tackle your overwhelming thoughts and feelings related to stress and worry. You can learn how to feel calm again. If you experience anxiety long enough, it can lead to burnout, which is a state of chronic stress and frustration leading to physical/emotional exhaustion, feelings of resentment or detachment, or a sense of ineffectiveness. Anxiety is also characterized by feelings of worry, nervousness, or fear.
Anxiety therapy in Nashville provides a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your fears and worries. Together, we can devise strategies to manage your anxiety and help you regain control over your life. It's important to remember that seeking therapy is a sign of strength, not weakness.
With my expertise and your determination, we can work towards reducing the impact of anxiety on your daily life. Let's start this journey towards healing and well-being together!
Panic Attack Therapy in Nashville
If you’ve ever had a panic attack, you never want to have another one! These events can be particularly scary, no matter how strong you are in your day-to-day life. You can feel confusion, chest pains, dizziness, and shortness of breath. This is due to a heightened flight-or-flight response that your body feels when it thinks you’re in danger.
Panic attack therapy in Nashville encompasses various therapeutic techniques, all aimed at helping you regain control over your mind and emotions. The focus of these sessions is not just on the panic attacks themselves but also on the triggers that lead to them.
By understanding these triggers, you can learn to manage your responses and gradually reduce the intensity and frequency of the attacks. Each treatment is individually tailored because what works for one person might not work for another. Together, we will see the panic attacks lessen along with the constant fear of having another one.
PTSD Therapy in Nashville
PTSD doesn't just come from combat experiences. Sometimes, it results from a collection of "small t" traumas. Painful past experiences are common in life, but they don't have to dictate how you live. Together, we will work through your traumatic experiences and reactions and move you toward freedom and choice. That includes eliminating nightmares!
Surviving trauma is not about forgetting; it's about learning to live with the memories without letting them control your present. PTSD therapy in Nashville focuses on helping you regain control over your life, reducing the frequency and intensity of traumatic reactions, and enhancing your coping skills.
The methods used are customized to your particular circumstances, so the therapy can effectively address your specific needs. It's okay to seek help. PTSD is not a sign of weakness, and seeking therapy is not an admission of defeat. It's a courageous step towards reclaiming your life from the clutches of past traumas.
Together, we will work through your traumatic experiences and reactions and move you toward freedom and choice. That includes eliminating nightmares!
I’m Dave and I can help. As an experienced trauma and anxiety therapist trained in EMDR and Brainspotting, I help people with anxiety, panic attacks, and PTSD return to a normal life. People come to me when they are tired of trying to “manage” their symptoms and want to eliminate them.
You aren’t “crazy” and you’re not alone. Life doesn’t have to be like this all the time. Your brain is stuck in “fight or flight mode” and just needs some help to calm down. Together, we can make that happen.
Trauma and anxiety therapy shouldn’t be confusing. Here’s how we’ll work together.
STEP 1
Schedule a free, no-obligation consultation to decide if I’m a good fit for you. If we are, great! We’ll schedule your first appointment and get started. Sometimes the first step can be more scary than the actual trauma therapy.
STEP 2
We’ll work together weekly to break through what’s holding you back and connect you with your authentic self. We move at a comfortable pace for you, there’s no rush.
STEP 3
Start enjoying your life in a way you likely never thought was possible. You can experience actual change, not just symptom management.
