Effective Evidence-Based Anxiety Treatment

Anxiety Therapy

FOR CHILDREN, TEENS, and ADULTS

 

Are you seeking a safe space to learn ways to control your worries so they stop controlling you?

Are you constantly worrying and having a hard time turning off your thoughts at the end of the day? Do you have an endless laundry list that stresses you out? Despite feeling tired, do you struggle to wind down and fall asleep at night? Do you often feel nervous or restless? Have you noticed more frequent headaches or stomach issues?

Has your anxiety affected your confidence, relationships, and overall happiness? Do you avoid certain places, people, and/or situations that you know will cause anxiety and discomfort? If you are a people pleaser, your anxiety may make it hard to set limits and keep boundaries with others, stand up for youself, and simply say “no.” If you’re a perfectionist, your anxiety may relentlessly push you to overwork to meet your high standards. Maybe you are driven by a fear of failure and this may lead to exhaustion and procrastination.

“The best use of imagination is creativity. The worst use of imagination is anxiety” (Deepak Chopra). Indeed, anxiety can often feel limitless and have no bounds. When anxiety is sky-high and has taken a strong foothold in your mind and life, it can be extremely challenging to escape its strong grip. In such cases, clients find it beneficial to work with a trusted professional who specializes in treating anxiety.

If any of the following are problems for you, there is an effective treatment and I can help you:

  • Feeling nervous, on-edge, wound-up, restless, difficulty concentrating, easily tired

  • Difficulty controlling your worries

  • Experiencing panic attacks or worrying about the next panic attack

  • Physical symptoms such as headache, stomachaches, heart palpitations, or unexplained pain

  • Avoidance of uncomfortable and stressful situations, places, or people

  • Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep

I also specialize in treating anxiety in neurodivergent individuals with ADHD and ASD.

You’ve survived 100% of your worst days so far. There are great odds that you’ll survive future challenges.

WHAT IS THE ANXIETY THERAPY PROCESS LIKE?

We’ll meet for weekly sessions for approximately 8-20 sessions of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which is the most effective form of treatment for anxiety disorders. Treatment is individually tailored and not “one-size-fits-all,” so I may also use mindfulness, Client-Centered, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) approaches that are also useful for treating anxiety.

When you notice a significant improvement and reduction in anxiety symptoms, we’ll discuss reducing the frequency of visits to every other week, then tapering down to one session each month. When you’re ready to end therapy, we can schedule follow-up sessions to check in and help you maintain the progress you’ve made, usually at 3- and 6-month intervals.

Anxiety therapy can help you:

  • Calm your mind and lower your stress

  • Manage your worries and confront your fears

  • Be more present in your relationships

  • Decrease uncomfortable/painful physical symptoms

  • Improve your sleep

I’m here to help free you from anxiety and feel relief.

FAQS

Common questions about Anxiety Therapy

  • I use evidence-based (research-proven) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) because it is the most effective form of psychotherapy to treat anxiety disorders. However, treatment is individually tailored and not “one-size-fits-all,” so I may also use mindfulness, Client-Centered, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) approaches.

  • The average number of CBT sessions typically ranges from 5-20 sessions. Some people begin to see improvement within a few sessions while others take longer. The number of sessions depends on several factors such as how long you’ve struggled with anxiety, the severity of your symptoms, your progress, and the work you put into CBT skills practice between visits.

  • Weekly sessions are recommended at the start of treatment. Once you begin to feel better, we’ll discuss reducing the frequency of sessions to every other week, then once per month. When you feel ready to end therapy, we can plan some follow-up sessions to check in and help you maintain the progress you’ve made, usually at 3- and 6-month intervals.
