Counseling for Anxiety
Find Calm in the Midst of Overwhelm
You Don’t Have To Keep Fighting Your Anxiety
Anxiety can make even ordinary things feel exhausting. Maybe your mind never seems to quiet down. Maybe you replay conversations, worry about what might go wrong, or feel like you are always waiting for the next problem.
You may have learned ways to manage your anxiety, but still feel like it is running the show.
Therapy can help you understand why your anxiety shows up in the first place, not just teach you how to make it go away.
How We Can Help
Individual Therapy can help with your anxiety if you:
Overthink everything and have trouble turning your brain off
Worry about things that haven't happened yet
Replay conversations or second-guess yourself
Feel like you need to keep everyone happy
Have a hard time relaxing, even when things are going well
Feel overwhelmed by everyday responsibilities
Struggle with perfectionism or fear of making mistakes
Notice anxiety affecting your relationships
Know your worries are bigger than the situation, but cannot seem to stop them
You may even find yourself thinking, “I know I'm okay, so why don't I feel okay?”
That is a really good question to bring to therapy.
How EFT Helps Anxiety
You may be wondering why a relationship-focused therapy like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) would be helpful for anxiety.
The answer is simple: anxiety often has a story underneath it.
EFT helps us slow down and get curious about that story. Instead of only asking, “How do I stop feeling anxious?” we can begin asking:
What is my anxiety trying to tell me?
What am I afraid might happen?
What do I need to feel safe, secure, and okay?
This can help you understand your anxiety instead of constantly fighting against it.
Anxiety Is Often More Than Worry
Sometimes anxiety is connected to deeper fears about relationships, rejection, failure, being alone, or not being good enough.
Maybe you learned early on that you needed to be perfect to feel worthy.
Maybe you became really good at reading other people's moods.
Maybe you learned to keep the peace because conflict felt unsafe.
Maybe you are constantly looking for reassurance because part of you is afraid that something will go wrong.
These patterns often make sense when we understand where they came from. EFT helps us gently explore those patterns so you can begin responding to yourself differently.
From Managing Anxiety To Understanding Yourself
We will work together to understand what is happening beneath your anxiety and develop a more secure relationship with yourself and the people around you.
As you become more aware of your emotional patterns, you will begin to:
Feel more confident in yourself
Understand and express your needs
Respond to difficult emotions instead of being overwhelmed by them
Build healthier, more secure relationships
Let go of some of the pressure to get everything right
Feel more grounded and present in your everyday life
The goal is not a life without difficult emotions. We want you to feel confident that you can handle any emotions as they come.
