ANXIETY THERAPY
Do I struggle with anxiety?
Anxiety disorders impact roughly 20% of our nation’s population. You are not alone; we are here to help.
Many of us have experienced anxiety. This may be from stress at home, work, or situational pressures. This anxiety can permeate all aspects of our lives, including friendships, work interactions, dating pursuits, and meeting our personal goals. There are many, though, that struggle with an actual anxiety disorder.
An anxiety disorder is a persistent condition that causes mental and physical symptoms. These symptoms can include excessive worrying to even physical sensations. Anxiety can become a cause for negative self-talk, low confidence, perfectionism, and other issues in your relationship with yourself.
Likewise, anxiety can have negative impacts on your relationships with others, causing additional strain and stress to your life. For some, anxiety can even include aspects of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) or phobias. All of these aspects of anxiety certainly make day-to-day functioning challenging. And due to the state of our world, from the ongoing pandemic to financial stressors and cultural challenges, anxiety is at an all-time high.
We know that each person experiences anxiety in their own way. This can include the things that make you anxious along with the way that you feel anxiety in your brain and body. There are many ways anxiety presents, and we have listed a few common ways below.

Our therapists know that there are many reasons you might be experiencing anxiety. We know that anxiety manifests in very unique ways for every individual.
