"Is anxiety, worry or stress a problem for you or your child? Are moods or behaviors taking a toll on friendships, relationships, school or work? For more than 15 years, I've helped my clients learn to cope more effectively with problems like anxiety, depression and a lack of self-confidence. We set goals and take practical steps to achieve them, using tools from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness.

"I work with children and teens in a play therapy focused environment. I am able to meet a child where they are developmentally, providing a safe and fun space to work through their thoughts and feelings. I often see children for issues such as trauma/abuse, attachment/foster/adoption situations, loss and grief, and adjustment to divorce. I also see college aged adults who are in transition to independence. For young adults, we work through issues such as depression, grief, past trauma, anxiety, and interpersonal difficulties."

"I am a trauma specialist. I work with adults and teenagers dealing with the impact of overwhelmingly difficult life experiences. People who have suffered traumatic events can feel anxious or depressed. They might feel disconnected from themselves, and others.

I help people endure the painful emotions that follow trauma, build resilience, and bring a sense of joy and wonder back into life."

Therapy should be a collaborative effort between client and therapist and therefore I use an integrative, holistic approach to best meet each individual's needs."

"Grief is powerful, takes energy, and can seem messy. It is a normal reaction to loss but can feel overwhelming and unpredictable. I have observed how it impacts people's thoughts, feelings, behaviors, health, and relationships. It can cause people who are usually in control to feel out of control. Grief is cumulative and giving it time doesn't necessarily alleviate it. I have passion around this because I find people quickly improve once they attend to their unresolved losses and I provide a space for that."

Coping Skills Therapists
With coping skills or coping mechanisms, we learn to overcome issues like stress, depression, anger or anxiety.
Pro-active coping involves dealing with a problem by using constructive coping activities such as planning, confrontation, self-control and restraint. Overuse of coping mechanisms, like avoiding problems or working obsessively, can exasperate the weakness.
Emotion based coping skills reduce symptoms by addressing our feelings e.g. discussing the issues, distraction, relaxation, reframing or humor can all help. But negative coping mechanisms, which tend to be impulsive, like denial, projection, rationalization, repression or wishful thinking can make the underlying problem worse.
Some coping methods are more like bad habits than constructive life skills e.g. drinking and drugs. Other examples might include skin biting, nail biting or hair pulling (trichotillomania).
If you find it hard to cope or are having trouble coping, therapists in 65201 can help develop constructive coping skills for children, coping skills for kids and life coping skills.
If you're looking for help with coping skills in 65201 or for a 65201 coping skills therapist, these professionals provide coping strategies. They include 65201 coping skills therapists, coping skills psychologists, coping skills psychotherapists and coping skills counseling.
