Therapy fOr Anxiety

You’re tired—tired of the constant loop of worries, the what-ifs, and the nagging tension that never quite goes away. Maybe it shows up as overthinking every conversation, waking up with a racing heart, or feeling on edge even when nothing seems “wrong.” You might look like you’ve got it together on the outside, but inside, it’s exhausting.

Anxiety can be sneaky. It can show up as perfectionism, irritability, avoidance, people-pleasing, or even physical symptoms like headaches or stomach issues. It’s not just “nerves” or “stress”—it’s your body sounding the alarm, even when there’s no immediate danger.

At our practice, we help clients untangle the mental and emotional patterns that keep anxiety in the driver’s seat. Using a mix of proven approaches like CBT (to challenge the thoughts that feed anxiety), DBT (to build skills for managing emotions in the moment), and EMDR (to address deeper experiences that may be stuck in your nervous system), we make sure to tailor therapy to you.

Types of Anxiety We Treat

Generalized Anxiety

You know that constant hum of worry in the background, even when things seem okay? That’s generalized anxiety. It’s like your brain always has one eye out for what might go wrong—money, health, relationships, work—basically, everything. You might feel restless, tense, or like your mind just won’t shut off. It’s exhausting, and it can make it hard to be present even during the good moments.

Social Anxiety

If you ever replay a conversation a hundred times wondering if you sounded weird—or avoid social stuff altogether because the idea of being judged makes your stomach flip—yep, this one’s for you. Social anxiety isn’t just shyness. It’s the fear that people are constantly evaluating you, and it can make things like meetings, dates, or even texting back feel huge.

Panic Attacks

Panic attacks come out of nowhere and make you feel like something is seriously wrong. Your heart races, it’s hard to breathe, your body feels out of control—and you might even wonder if you're dying or going crazy. Then, once it's over, you're left drained and worried it'll happen again. The fear of the fear becomes part of the problem.

Health Anxiety

This isn’t just “worrying a little” about your health. It’s constantly scanning your body for something wrong, Googling symptoms late into the night, and feeling like no amount of reassurance is enough. Even after seeing a doctor, you might still feel like something’s being missed. It’s scary, lonely, and honestly—exhausting.

Phobias

This is more than just a fear—it’s a fear that takes over. Whether it’s flying, needles, elevators, heights, or something else, phobias can make you go way out of your way to avoid certain situations. And while part of you knows it’s irrational, your body doesn’t seem to get the memo.

Performance Anxiety

Ever feel totally confident when you’re alone, but freeze the moment you have to “do” something in front of others—like speak, present, or even just share an idea? That’s performance anxiety. It’s that fear of messing up, looking stupid, or being judged when the spotlight is on. And sometimes, it keeps you from stepping into opportunities you know you're capable of.

Perfectionism

You set insanely high standards for yourself, and even when you meet them, it never feels good enough. There’s this pressure to always do more, do better, and avoid mistakes at all costs. Perfectionism isn’t about having “high standards”—it’s about the anxiety that comes with not allowing yourself to be human.

People-pleasing

If you find yourself saying “yes” when you’re screaming “no” inside—or constantly putting others’ needs ahead of your own just to avoid conflict or feel accepted—that’s people pleasing. It’s sneaky anxiety in disguise. You want to be liked, but it leaves you feeling resentful, drained, and unsure where you end and others begin.

How We Help

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps you notice the anxious thoughts that keep looping in your mind—and teaches you how to challenge them. It’s all about connecting the dots between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so you can break the cycle of anxiety. Think of it like giving your brain a new script—one that’s calmer, more grounded, and way less hard on you.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

DBT gives you real-life tools to manage big emotions and feel more in control when anxiety takes over. It’s especially helpful if anxiety shows up with intense feelings, black-and-white thinking, or difficulty coping in the moment. You'll learn skills like mindfulness, distress tolerance, and how to set boundaries without guilt.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR helps your brain reprocess anxious memories or experiences that might be stuck, especially if your anxiety has roots in past trauma or overwhelming stress. It uses gentle eye movements (or tapping) while you think about certain memories, which helps your nervous system release the emotional charge. It’s like hitting the “reset” button on how your body and brain react.

Somatic Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

By focusing on nervous system regulation, we help you understand your body’s stress signals and shift from fight, flight, or freeze into a more grounded and calm state. With guided breathwork, movement, and body awareness, you’ll build tools to soothe anxiety at its source — in the nervous system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a therapy session look like?

It depends on what approach we’re using. With CBT, we focus on identifying and challenging anxious thoughts. DBT sessions are more skills-based, helping you manage intense emotions and set boundaries. EMDR is more structured and uses eye movements or tapping to help your brain process past experiences that may be fueling anxiety. All sessions start with an intake to discuss your challenges, needs, and the best approach to take.

How long will I need therapy?

It really depends on your goals and what you're working through. Some people come for a few months to learn tools and feel better day-to-day, while others stay longer to dig deeper. We’ll check in regularly to make sure it’s still helpful and aligned with what you need.

Do you offer virtual or in-person sessions?

Yes! We offer both. You can choose what feels most comfortable—whether that’s meeting in person or having sessions from the comfort of your home. We can also switch between the two if your needs change.

Are sessions covered by my insurance?

We are in-network with Aetna, Cigna, Horizon/BCBS, Medicare and Lyra. All other plans are considered "out-of-network" where we can provide you a superbill to submit to your insurance.

How old do I have to be to start therapy?

We work with clients starting at age 12 years old and up. If you're a teen or young adult, therapy can be a great space to talk through anxiety, pressure, or anything else you’re dealing with. If you're a parent looking for support for your child, feel free to reach out and we can talk about the best fit.
