Anxiety Therapy
Support, warmth, and patience for when your worries become ruminating thoughts
What Is Anxiety Therapy?
Anxiety is one of the fastest-growing mental health concerns, and it shows up in the body as much as the mind. Unexplained irritability, constant worry, trouble sleeping, or stomach issues may all be present when experiencing anxiety. Anxiety therapy helps you understand what anxiety is doing, relate to it differently, and find skills and reframes that help. Anxiety therapy helps you understand what anxiety is, how to relate to the feelings differently and manage the symptoms better to help you get back to your life.
Therapy is not about avoiding anxiety or distracting yourself; it’s about turning down the volume so you can think, sleep, and be present again.
What living with anxiety can feel like
You’re worrying all day and the thoughts will not switch off
You lie awake with your mind spinning
Your body is tense, your heart races, and you cannot settle
You are short with the people closest to you
You expect the worst even when things are fine
Our Approaches
Here are a few of the ways we tackle symptoms of anxiety:
Mindfulness-Based Therapies: Our therapists incorporate mindfulness practices so you can notice the signs and signals of anxiety. We help you focus on what your anxiety is trying to tell you without ruminating on worst-case scenarios. Our clinicians also offer breath work to manage the physical sensations of anxiety, including panic attacks, through somatic experiencing and other body-based practices that regulate your nervous system.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT helps you relate to your experiences differently. Pain is a part of life, but suffering does not have to be. By leaning into your values, we help you accept your thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them, focus on what matters most, and commit to actions that help you live a thriving, meaningful life.
Identifying Underlying Causes: Our therapists help you uncover patterns that may have emerged from early childhood or family dynamics, along with other factors that may underlie your anxiety. We move at a pace that feels comfortable for you, and integrate the underlying cause into the way your anxiety shows up today, so we can create lasting change.
