Therapy for Anxiety

Worrying about the future can make it impossible to enjoy today!

We can help you learn how to start living a hopeful life.

We understand what it's like:

Intrusive thoughts, ones you don't want to have but can't seem to stop, always run through your head. You constantly think of all the “what-ifs” and ways to prevent something terrible from happening to you or your loved ones. You focus on avoiding mistakes, so getting even small things done takes forever. You worry about what people think about you. You experience shortness of breath, tightening in your chest, dizziness, panic, and an inability to sleep.

If any of this sounds familiar, then you might be experiencing anxiety.

What it’s like to work with us:

Learning to address your anxiety can help you experience your thoughts without being limited by your fears. You can discover ways to navigate your thoughts and emotions without them getting in the way of you doing things that are meaningful to you. It can allow you to feel more in control and less overwhelmed to feel more capable of taking steps forward. It can help with your relationships so that you are not always looking for other people's advice, approval, or even their participation to help you find relief.

How we can help you:

Treating anxiety allows clients to experience their thoughts and emotions without overestimating their significance and experiencing avoidance or panic. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help you recognize how your thoughts connect to your feelings and behaviors. Your therapist will work with you to identify your triggers and explore whether they are connected to your past or present experiences. Finding new ways to understand your thoughts and feelings and decide how you want to respond to those is possible.

Therapy can help you:

  • Improve your outlook on life

  • Be more confident in your decisions

  • Do things that are meaningful to you 

  • Learn to recognize when your anxiety is getting in the way and how to combat it

  • Recognize how anxiety is impacting you and ways to take back control

We can help you regain control of your life and stop anxiety from winning!
