Therapy for Anxiety and Anxiety-Related Concerns

Anxiety can affect how you think, feel, and function in daily life. While anxiety is a natural response to stress, it can become problematic when worry, fear, or physical tension feel constant, disproportionate, or hard to control. Many people seek anxiety therapy when symptoms begin interfering with work, relationships, sleep, or overall quality of life.

Concerns We Work With:

  • Generalized anxiety and chronic worry

  • Panic attacks and panic symptoms

  • Social anxiety

  • Health anxiety

  • Performance anxiety

  • Avoidance behaviors

  • Work anxiety

  • People-pleasing or difficulty setting boundaries

When Anxiety Feels Like a Way of Life

Anxiety can show up in many ways - from constant worry and overthinking to physical tension, racing thoughts, or avoidance. For some, it may take the form of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) - a sense of never being able to relax - or panic disorder, where waves of fear or body sensations appear suddenly. Others experience social anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), or the lingering effects of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after difficult experiences.

We also support adults navigating adjustment disorders following major life changes, and those living with trauma-related anxiety that doesn’t always fit a single diagnosis. Whatever form anxiety takes, our goal is to help you understand what your body and mind are trying to protect you from - and to teach tools for regulation, emotional safety, and grounded confidence.

Some concerns we work with:

  • Overthinking or replaying conversations

  • Difficulty saying no or setting boundaries

  • Feeling wired and tired at the same time

  • Trouble relaxing, even when life is “fine”

  • Chronic guilt or self-criticism

  • Reassurance seeking

  • Trouble sleeping, eating, or focusing
