Living with anxiety often means also living with self-doubt, exhaustion, and a sense of life being out of your control.
It has a way of flowing over into every area of life, from your physical health to your job performance. You constantly second-guess yourself, feeling like you can’t keep up with all of life’s demands. It’s hard to sleep, hard to focus, and hard to imagine life ever feeling normal again. You may have been attempting to mask and hold in these feelings for a while — at work, with your friends, or in your personal life — but you’re realizing that might not be possible for much longer. You’re realizing that if things are ever going to feel different, you’ve got to do something different.
You’re ready to get out of your own head.
You need some space to catch your breath … an opportunity to slow down, look at what you’re feeling and experiencing, and identify where it’s coming from. You’re ready to get off this merry-go-round of self-criticism and self-doubt, to release what’s out of your control, and to regain that sense of peace you feel is missing.
Anxiety counseling can help.
Together, we’ll work on:
Coping Skills
Life is always going to throw us curve balls — it’s how we respond that determines how we feel. We’ll work on practical ways to manage your anxiety in the midst of the unknown. You’ll learn how to listen to what your body is telling you and feel more confident and at ease in difficult situations.
Relationships
Anxiety can take the joy out of relationships — both the ones you have with yourself and the ones you have with others. In counseling, you’ll gain new insight into yourself and your own strengths, as well as ways to feel more connected and engaged with the important people in your life.
New Perspectives
Often it feels like something is “wrong” with you when you have anxiety when, in fact, there are experiences from your past, unhelpful thought or behavior patterns, or other things that are keeping you stuck. We’ll dig into the root cause of your anxiety in order to address it at its source.
All of “you” is welcome here.
You don’t have to worry about feeling, saying, or doing the “wrong” thing in therapy. This is a place for you: a space where you can let down your guard (maybe for the first time ever), get to know yourself, and invest in your own wellbeing, without apology.
