Anxiety

Helping You Take Charge of Overthinking, Worry, and Constant Tension

Do you feel paralyzed in making decisions or like you overanalyze every decision? Perhaps your mind races and your body feels tense, even when there's nothing wrong. You might feel exhausted from just trying to keep it all together and notice that it's starting to impact your sleep, relationships, or ability to focus on work or school.

 

What is Anxiety?

Anxiety is more than just worried thoughts, it's response to stress that can become overwhelming over time. In the right dose, anxiety can be helpful, but it can become too much and show up in a variety of ways, including:

  • Constantly overthinking upcoming or past events or actions
  • Trouble sleeping or relaxing
  • Physical symptoms like your heart racing, upset stomach, or tight chest
  • Avoiding situations that are uncomfortable or scary
  • Feeling like you're never doing enough (or that you're missing the mark)

Anxiety can show up in a few ways, including more generalized worry about a number of different things, while other people might experience panic attacks, social anxiety, or specific fears or phobias. No matter how you notice anxiety showing up for you, therapy can help you to find some calm.
