HOW WE CAN HELP WITH STRESS?

At Psychiatry and Therapy Center of New York, our specialist psychiatrists and psychologists recognise that without comprehensive and bespoke treatment, stress can become a persistent issue, have a negative impact on your health, and can be extremely difficult to cope with.

Treatment at Psychiatry and Therapy Center of New York is tailored according to individual requirements in order to engender the best possible outcomes for each and every one of our patients. Treatment includes:

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) – a form of psychotherapy that encourages individuals to challenge unhealthy thought processes and develop new and healthier ways of viewing their life

Mindfulness – a form of therapy for stress that equips individuals with the skills to accept and process negative emotions without becoming overwhelmed by them, and to focus on how they feel in the present moment

1:1 stress counselling – therapy that takes place between the patient and the most appropriate psychiatrist or psychologist for their needs. This form of stress management allows for an in-depth exploration of issues and unique symptoms
