Therapy for anxiety is highly effective and can be tailored to help you understand, manage and reduce your anxiety symptoms.

Just like with depression, anxiety therapy helps address the underlying causes, triggers and patterns of anxious thoughts and behaviors.

Anxiety is a normal emotional response that involves feelings of unease, apprehension, or fear, often triggered by uncertain situations or anticipated challenges. In many cases, it can be beneficial—motivating individuals to stay alert, prepare for important tasks, or avoid potential risks. However, when anxiety occurs too frequently, feels overwhelming, or is disproportionate to the actual situation, it may indicate a more serious concern that warrants attention.

When to consider therapy for anxiety:

• Persistent Worry: You’re constantly worried or fearful, even when there’s no clear reason.
• Physical Symptoms: You experience frequent headaches, muscle tension, racing heart, nausea, or trouble sleeping due to anxiety.
• Avoidance: You avoid certain places, people, or situations because they make you anxious.
• Impaired Functioning: Anxiety affects your ability to work, study, socialize, or take care of daily responsibilities.
• Panic Attacks: You have sudden, intense episodes of fear or discomfort, with symptoms like shortness of breath, dizziness, or a racing heart.
• Intrusive Thoughts: You struggle with repetitive, unwanted thoughts that you can’t control.
• Feeling Out of Control: Your coping strategies (like avoiding situations, overthinking, or using substances) aren’t working, and you feel overwhelmed.
• Impact on Relationships: Anxiety is straining your relationships—maybe you’re overly dependent, irritable, or distant.
