Helping Adults & Teens Stop Feeling So Anxious and Start Feeling Calm
Your Anxiety Is Running Your Life
You may be waking up already tense with your mind racing with worst-case scenarios before you even get out of bed. Or perhaps you feel constantly on edge waiting for the next thing to go wrong and even when nothing bad is actually happening you can't shake the feeling that something will.
Maybe you're replaying conversations in your head wondering if you said the wrong thing. Or you're avoiding situations that make you anxious which means you're missing out on things you used to enjoy. It’s exhausting trying to keep it all together on the outside while your thoughts spiral on the inside.
You Might Be Experiencing
● You feel anxious most of the time and can't seem to turn it off
● Your body is tense with tight shoulders, a racing heart, or trouble breathing deeply
● You replay conversations over and over worrying you said something wrong
● You can't stop thinking about everything that could go wrong
● You're exhausted from constantly being on edge
Living with this much anxiety is hard. Therapy can help.
Therapy Can Help You Feel Calmer and More at Ease
It's possible to turn the volume down on anxiety and turn the volume up on peace. Imagine what it would be like to:
● Wake up without your mind immediately racing with worries
● Feel more present and less trapped in your head
● Stop avoiding things you want to do because of anxiety
● Feel more relaxed in your body instead of constantly tense
● Actually enjoy your life instead of just surviving it
Therapy can help you handle whatever comes up. Together we'll work on what matters most to you so you can feel calmer and more like yourself.
Feel Less On Edge and More at Peace
Anxiety may show up when something isn't working for you or when you're living in a way that doesn't feel true to who you are. Whatever might be true for you, in therapy we'll figure out what's driving your anxiety and I'll walk with you towards what it takes for you to feel more settled.
We'll also work on helping you feel less tense and more relaxed. For many people anxiety lives in the body with tight shoulders, shallow breathing, or a racing heart. You'll learn ways to release that tension so you can actually rest instead of constantly bracing for the next thing.
Over time you'll start to feel calmer. You'll be able to enjoy your life instead of just getting through it. You'll feel more like yourself and less like anxiety is running the show.
How Anxiety Therapy Works
Therapy sessions are 50 minutes and we'll work at a pace that feels right for you. Here's how we'll work together:
1. We'll create a safe space. You don't have to pretend you're fine or hold it all together in our sessions. You can actually talk about what's really going on.
2. We'll figure out what's driving your anxiety. We'll explore what's underneath it so you can start to shift it instead of just managing.
3. We'll focus on what you need to feel calmer. Maybe that's learning to quiet your racing thoughts or releasing tension in your body or figuring out what situations trigger your anxiety and why.
4. You'll try new ways of responding. Instead of avoiding or white-knuckling through anxiety you'll experiment with different approaches to see what actually helps you feel better.
5. You'll start to feel more settled. Over time anxiety won't have the same grip on you. You'll feel calmer, more present, and more able to enjoy your life.
