You’ve put in tremendous effort to manage your anxiety, preventing it from dictating your thoughts, feelings, and actions. Some days, you even feel a sense of pride—today, anxiety didn’t win. You’ve made progress in your relationships, allowed yourself to truly feel your emotions, and often find time for self-care practices that bring you joy.

Then one day, you wake up, and it’s there.

The tightness in your chest. The worry that kept you up for hours in the night. The rising panic as you prepare for your day. You sense anxiety trying to creep back in. Your nervous system is on high alert. Your heart heaves a sigh. This is a critical moment.

You could power through and hope for the best. Or you could choose a different path. The problem is, you want to change, but you don’t know how.

Don’t worry, we’ve got you.

Still have questions about how therapy can help with anxiety?

  • Many people experience occasional worry or stress, but anxiety tends to be more persistent and can interfere with your daily life. You might notice racing thoughts, trouble sleeping, restlessness, irritability, or a constant sense of unease. If you're unsure, therapy can help you better understand what you're experiencing and what might help.

  • You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Even if your anxiety feels manageable, it can still impact your relationships, work, or overall well-being. Therapy can help you build tools to cope more effectively, deepen self-awareness, and prevent anxiety from growing over time.

  • We’ll start by exploring what your anxiety looks and feels like—when it shows up, how it affects you, and what might be underlying it. From there, we may use a mix of approaches, including talk therapy, mindfulness strategies, and EMDR, to help you better understand and manage your anxiety. You’ll learn practical tools to calm your nervous system and explore the deeper patterns that keep anxiety in place, so you can begin to feel more grounded, confident, and in control.

  • There’s no one-size-fits-all answer—everyone’s journey is different. Some clients begin to feel relief after just a few sessions, while others benefit from a longer process. We’ll check in regularly about what’s working and make adjustments to support your goals.

  • Yes. Anxiety often shows up in the body as tightness, fatigue, or panic symptoms. In therapy, we explore how your mind and body are connected and work on calming techniques, grounding practices, and deeper insight to reduce these physical effects over time.
