Stress Management and Treatment, Rockland County NY
and Westchester County NY

I am a Clinical Psychologist, Doctor of Integrative Medicine & Certified Nutritional Consultant with much successful experience in helping people.  Rockland County and Westchester County are the two communities I have developed a private practice in. Also, Bergen County, Passaic County, Hudson Valley, and Northern New Jersey. Here, the feeling of internal peace, alongside family cooperation, is created with simple psychological care that I provide. My name is Dr. Vincent D'Amico. I am a psychologist specializing in family and teen stress treatment offering affordable, comfortable, drug-free and private care. Also ADD and ADHD treatment in Rockland County and Westchester County.

Whether you or a loved one has been diagnosed with an “emotional disorder” such as ADD/ADHD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Anxiety Disorder, Depression, Autistic Spectrum Disorder, and/or other emotional/behavioral disorders, Dr. D'Amico can offer techniques to assist in mastering life's emotional roller coasters.  If you are seeking answers, wanting to learn more about yourself and others, and wish to develop harmony and inner peace, Dr. D'Amico can assist in integrating the various facets of emotions that can enable or disable optimal performance and happiness.

Stress management or reducing anxiety starts with understanding that stress is a response to a situation.  Stress involves a physical, emotional and/or spiritual reaction to external or internal demands.  Often, stress-situations are experienced as anxiety.  Anxiousness and stressfulness can also be experienced as muscle tension, headaches and upset stomach.  Stress management for families, couples or children can include treating the sense of hopelessness coupled with feelings of isolation and loneliness. At the Family Stress Reduction Institute, Valley Cottage and Tarrytown, NY, we specialize in natural, holistic, psychological treatments of these conditions. For ADD-ADHD psychologists care in New York (NY), please contact me.

Our stress management treatment uses holistic care and drug-free therapy in the healing process. In a holistic understanding of our urgencies, we can see how so many of us lose touch with our own self as we struggle to manage the various demands for our attention. Whenever we experience time pressure, we are likely to feel stress and anxiety in our body, mind and Spirit.

Stress Management Treatment

Stress management knowledge begins with understanding stress’s undesirable consequences. We are exuding extra energy required to adapt to worrisome situations.  Some of these effects are conscious. For example, symptoms such as gastro-intestinal discomfort, increased heart rate, perspiration, and headache and fear are experienced consciously.  However, many of the consequences of prolonged stress are hidden or unconscious.  Examples include increase in hormones, such as cortisol and endorphins that are secreted in order to respond to the stress-charged situation. 

Certainly having a disease or illness is stressful.  However, it is important to consider the reverse:  the impact that prolonged stress-reaction has in creating the conditions that increase disease.  In stress reduction psychology (for the family, couples or youth) it is well documented that stress is a major, perhaps the most prominent, cause of disease.  It is estimated that over 75% of all diseases are related to prolonged stress.   

Another stress management truth: There is a strong emphasis within our culture to convince people that diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, arthritis and cancer are the result of genetic factors. However, although genetic traits are passed down from generation to generation, a genetic predisposition to a disease does not necessarily mean that the disease will manifest.  Stress reduction treatment has a core understanding that stress-reaction and anxiety-worry play a major role in the disease process.  The way you treat your genes throughout your life is more important than genetic inheritance in terms of later health and disease states.
