Anxiety gives us the opportunity to be brave every. single. day. How amazing is that? Anxiety truly gets a bad rap. At its core, anxiety is our protective mechanism. It will do everything in its power to keep us safe. Yet so many of us fear anxiety; deeming it just another "negative" emotion. When it comes to providing counseling for anxiety, we can use all of the CBT techniques, we can test all of the thoughts, we can try all of the coping mechanisms, but this doesn't solve the real issue. When we can truly understand and appreciate the nature and purpose of anxiety; when we can change our relationship to anxiety, to our thoughts, to our emotions, that's when real life-change happens. My primary focus is helping young adults to better understand themselves and their anxiety while building self-esteem and cultivating a compassionate inner voice. There is so much power in the way we speak to ourselves and in how we judge our internal experiences. I want you to know that there is hope. It is possible to change. At Cedar Rose Counseling & Wellness, I provide individual counselings services, meditations for stress and anxiety management, free mental health education and mental health self-help resources. I am on a mission to make mental health information and skills more accessible, easy to understand and simple to implement in everyday life.
