Therapy for Anxiety
For: Chronic worry or tension, panic attacks, racing thoughts, irritability, social anxiety.
Anxiety can be suffocating. Racing thoughts, questioning yourself, tension, worry and irritability, people pleasing, insomnia – all of these (and more) can be part of the struggle. As if all that discomfort isn’t enough, these challenges can affect the relationships that matter most to you – your spouse or significant other, your children, your relationships at work, and even your friendships. Anxiety can make you feel like something is wrong with you, can cause you to cancel plans or avoid things you may have enjoyed or needed to do, or can create situations where you react to things in ways you aren’t happy with.
Therapy starts with understanding the problem. There are numerous types of anxiety, and knowing more about what you are dealing with is vital to understanding how to ensure you get the care you need. We would take time to discuss and understand what is driving your anxiety, what you have tried already to cope, and what is working and not working for you in dealing with it. Treatment would help to identify concrete things you can do to address the anxiety that is impacting your day to day life – shifts in your habits or behavior, tools for navigating unhelpful thoughts, strategies to notice your thoughts or feelings, and skills to tolerate the stress when it does show up. Throughout it all, we work together to ensure that we both have a good understanding of your stress, and use evidence-based methods, adapted to you and your life.
