Anxiety Therapy for Teens & Adults
You might know that you overthink, worry too much, or get stuck in your head - and still have a hard time changing it. Anxiety can make everyday decisions feel exhausting, make it difficult to be present, and leave you constantly questioning yourself.
Therapy can help you better understand what keeps your anxiety going while building practical skills to respond differently.
Does anxiety look like this for you?
You may recognize yourself in some of these patterns:
• You replay conversations or decisions long after they’re over
• You spend a lot of time worrying about what might happen
• You second-guess yourself, even after making a decision
• You have a hard time relaxing because your mind keeps going
• You avoid things because they feel overwhelming or uncomfortable
• You know your anxiety isn’t always rational, but that doesn’t make it easier to turn off
Anxiety therapy can help you respond differently
Anxiety therapy isn’t about getting rid of every anxious thought or never feeling worried again. Instead, we’ll work on understanding the patterns that keep anxiety going and building new ways to respond when it shows up.
Depending on what you’re struggling with, we might work on reducing overthinking, tolerating uncertainty, changing patterns of avoidance, responding differently to anxious thoughts, or learning skills to manage emotions when they feel overwhelming.
A practical, evidence-based approach to anxiety
Understand the pattern
We’ll look at what triggers your anxiety, what keeps it going, and the ways you’ve learned to respond to it.
Build practical skills
Using approaches including CBT and DBT, we’ll develop concrete strategies for handling anxious thoughts, difficult emotions, and uncertainty.
Practice doing things differently
Insight matters, but change also happens through practice. We’ll work on applying what you learn in therapy to situations in your everyday life.
