TAKING CHARGE
A Skill Building Group to help YOU Manage Anxiety, Anger, Panic or Stress
A Skill Building Group to help YOU Manage Anxiety, Anger, Panic or stress
Do you struggle with anxiety, anger, panic or stress?
Do you ever feel overwhelmed?
Do you find yourself worrying, thinking negatively, over-thinking or struggling to think straight in general?
Do you ever feel physically anxious, agitated, tense or on-edge?
Joining this group is your ticket to learning tools and techniques as well as gaining insight regarding how to restructure your thinking patterns, ground your body (meaning managing the physical responses to emotions) and TAKE CHARGE of how you think, feel and behave.
This is an ONLINE skills building and psychoeducation group that is strength based. This is not a therapy group, as we will be focusing on building skills versus processing. The environment will be warm, welcoming and engaging. Some things you will learn in this group:
- Methods to identify unhelpful thoughts
- Methods to create new thinking habits
- Multiple methods to change the physiological responses associated with uncomfortable emotions
- What mindfulness is and how to utilize the practice to remain grounded and better manage your mind, body and behaviors
I have been implementing these techniques with my clients in the South San Francisco Bay Area for nine years, and over the years I have combined traditional cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques to develop this program.
The group starts February 16th, 2021 and will be every Tuesday from 8:45 to 10:15 AM PST. The group will run 8 weeks (we will skip March 9th and April 13 ) and the last session is April 20th. This skill building class is $70 dollars per session.
Let me help you take charge of YOU! Space is limited. 🙂
REVIEW FROM TAKING CHARGE
"I have benefited tremendously from these sessions, and your methods and suggestions have greatly alleviated much of the work-related stress/anxiety that was overwhelming me."
-(Protected Identity)
"Dr. Lopez offers a unique course with a full array of tools to help with anxiety. The course is taught in a way that is approachable and practical. In addition, she teaches the course with humor and vulnerability that makes it engaging to anyone."
-Sam
"Dr. Cecilia Lopez is a true gem to the mental health community: I can firmly attest that her professionalism, charisma, and insightful resources will not only guide you, but she will also help you discover what is best for your own wellness journey. She is extremely knowledgeable and competent as her work is informed by current practices in the field, and her interdisciplinary approach was truly refreshing in providing appropriate support for my mental health needs. As someone initially reluctant to seek help due to poor experiences with other therapists, I'm grateful for the knowledge and skills she possesses needed to address intersectional identities, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to all those seeking help toward their journeys in wellbeing."
-Christine
"I am SO grateful that I invested in my mental health and joined Cecilia's anti-anxiety class. It was probably the best money I have spent on myself in YEARS. Before the class I suffered with regular panic attacks at work and in life and now with the tools I learned in the group I can catch and reverse them WAY before they get out of control. I feel like such more level-headed person now, like I have more control over my life.
Cecilia explains everything in a very down to earth, easy to understand, unpretentious way and knows her stuff!!! The tools she teaches are super easy to implement into your daily life, and I truly looked forward to each class!
I have been highly recommending this group to all of my friends with anxiety. If everyone was required to learn this stuff in school the world would be a better place!"
-Kate
"I didn't realize I was dealing with anxiety until I read somewhere what the symptoms were. Maybe after the third attack is when I finally decided to look into it. I came across an IG post on an upcoming class that Dr. Lopez was having to manage anxiety. We learned how to identify it, break down the root of the problem, and overall manage anxiety and stressors. One of the techniques that I really enjoyed was the breathing exercises. I always looked forward to my sessions and always went home feeling relieved while understanding how to better manage y anxiety and the known causes."
