Anxiety is a normal response to stressful situations that can cause fear or nervousness. While everyone experiences anxiety at some point, it typically manifests as short-term feelings in response to specific stressors.
However, some forms of anxiety are more persistent and can significantly impact a person's mental and physical well-being. Many of our clients describe experiencing chronic worry, a sense of doom, unease, tension, or nervousness.
Anxiety can develop during childhood or adulthood, often triggered by painful life events or periods of high stress. These past experiences can be reawakened by situations that resemble or symbolize the original trauma.
For those struggling with persistent anxiety, therapy can help identify the underlying causes and provide effective strategies for overcoming these distressing feelings.
If you're struggling with anxiety, we're here to help. Our therapists will work closely with you to understand your unique experience with anxiety and develop a personalized treatment plan that best suits your needs.
As part of your treatment, we may recommend a referral to a psychiatrist and will provide training in skills to help you manage anxiety symptoms at home. Our approach includes mindfulness-based techniques, breathing exercises, and other interventions to explore how your thoughts may be contributing to your anxiety.
We strive to create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore, better understand, and recover from the effects of anxiety.
We look forward to helping you on your journey to recovery.
