Therapy for Anxiety
Is anxiety taking over your life? Does it feel like you can’t control it no matter how hard you try? Have you already tried therapy but found it ineffective?
If this sounds like you, I’m confident I can help. My practice offers a combination of the most effective forms of treatment so you can get the relief from anxiety that you desire.
When it comes to treating anxiety disorders, research shows that therapy is usually the most effective option. That’s because anxiety therapy - as opposed to anxiety medication - treats more than just symptoms of the problem. Co-morbidities occur when you are experiencing two or more mental health conditions simultaneously. Most studies estimate that a majority of people with anxiety disorders experience another mental health condition.
Often, these are the symptoms of anxiety:
- Nervousness, restlessness, or being tense
- Feelings of danger, panic, or dread
- Rapid breathing or hyperventilation
- Increased or heavy sweating
- Trembling or muscle twitching
- Weakness or lethargy
- Difficulty focusing or thinking clearly about anything other than the thing you’re worried about
- Mind going blank during anxious episodes
- Insomnia
- Anxiety surrounding a particular life event, transition, or experience that has occurred in the past
Therapy can help to uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears, look at situations in a new, less frightening way, and develop helpful coping mechanisms and problem-solving skills.
If you are experiencing an anxiety disorder, I invite you to contact me today for a free consultation. Keep in mind if you are experiencing specialized anxiety conditions (such as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, certain phobias, Selective mutism), it may require a referral to a specialist in that specific area.
