Counseling 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 the most effective forms of treatment, to get the relief from anxiety that you deserve.
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 to the problem.
Often, these are the symptoms of anxiety:
- Difficulty controlling worries or feelings of nervousness
- Feelings of danger, panic or dread
- Rapid breathing or hyperventilation
- Headaches, muscle aches, stomach aches or unexplained pains
- Weakness or lethargy
- Difficulty focusing or thinking clearly about anything other than what you are worried about
- Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep
- Obsessions about certain ideas, a sign of obsessive-compulsive disorder
- Anxiety surrounding a particular life event or experience that has occurred in the past, a sign of post-traumatic stress disorder
Therapy can help to uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears, learn how to relax, look at situations in a new, less frightening way, and develop better coping mechanisms and problem-solving skills. I use evidence based, skills oriented approaches to treating anxiety including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based therapy, and elements of exposure therapy.
