Therapy for Anxiety
Understanding Anxiety
Anxiety doesn’t have to control your life. Living with persistent anxiety can feel like an endless cycle, often leaving you drained and overwhelmed. You may have tried managing it on your own or even explored therapy, yet finding lasting relief has been elusive. Our experienced team is here to offer a personalized, evidence-based approach to help you regain a sense of calm and control. While medication addresses symptoms, therapy tackles the underlying causes of anxiety—helping you to not only manage it but to transform your relationship with it.
Recognizing Anxiety Symptoms
Some of the most common symptoms of anxiety include:
- Nervousness, tension, or restlessness
- Feelings of impending danger or panic
- Rapid breathing or hyperventilation
- Heavy sweating, trembling, or muscle twitching
- Weakness, fatigue, or lethargy
- Difficulty concentrating, often focused on worst-case scenarios
- Sleep disturbances
- Persistent thoughts or compulsions (as seen in OCD)
- Trauma-related anxiety tied to past experiences (a characteristic of PTSD)

- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT): Focuses on accepting anxious thoughts without judgment and committing to actions that reflect personal values.
- Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Teaches present-moment awareness, helping you manage anxious thoughts and feelings without feeling overwhelmed by them.
- Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT): Focuses on identifying and changing irrational beliefs that contribute to anxiety, promoting healthier thinking patterns.
