  • Overthinking even the smallest things

  • Perceiving people and events as threatening, even when they’re not

  • Making decisions, even every day ones, feels difficult or impossible

Frequently asked questions

Q: What are anxiety therapy sessions like?

A: Anxiety therapy will start with just talking about what’s been going on with you so that your therapist can get a solid understanding of what you’ve been struggling with. Then, together with your therapist, you’ll develop a plan that addresses the unique issues you’re dealing with and helps you meet your goals. Throughout the entire process, we are here to support you on your journey to a happier and more fulfilling life. We won’t push you past where you’re ready to go and will move at the speed that’s comfortable for you.

Q: How long do I need to be in therapy?

A: This all depends on your needs, your goals, and the amount of effort you’re willing and able to put in between sessions. We will always prioritize your wants and needs and address the biggest issues you’re facing first to help you get relief as fast as possible. Most clients start noticing major changes within 20-40 sessions and there are so many evidence-based interventions for anxiety that we can help you get a handle on things pretty fast.

Q: How do I know if anxiety therapy can work for me?

Dealing with COVID Anxiety and Exhaustion

Things feel different lately, don’t they? I’ve been out the last few weekends (almost as much as pre-COVID days!) and it felt so normal that it was weird. With vaccinations continuing and restrictions being loosened, it feels like we’re coming to the beginning of the end.

That’s a good thing right? Overall I’d say yes but for me, and a lot of the folks I know and work with, it’s also bringing a unique set of challenges. Mainly anxiety about returning to “normal” life and complete exhaustion during the transition….
