How Our Therapists Provide Stress Management Support

Various therapeutic approaches can effectively manage stress, each tailored to individual needs and preferences:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns that contribute to stress. By challenging these thoughts, people can develop healthier ways of thinking and coping with stressors.

Psychodynamic Therapy

This therapy explores how unconscious thoughts and feelings, often rooted in past experiences, influence current stress levels. Understanding these connections can help individuals resolve internal conflicts and reduce stress.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

MBSR involves practices like meditation, body scanning, and yoga to increase mindfulness and reduce stress. This approach encourages individuals to focus on the present moment rather than worrying about the past or future.

Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)

In addition to efficacy in treatment for OCD and PTSD, KAP has demonstrated promising results in reducing symptoms of stress, particularly in individuals with chronic stress and anxiety disorders, often evident within hours of the initial session.
