Therapy for Anxiety

Anxiety is so powerful because it is trying to keep us alive; however, it often runs amok and sends false signals. These leave us feeling hypervigilant, isolated and exhausted. For teens and young adults, anxiety is more prevalent than ever due to increasing stressors and pressures from school, social media, family dynamics, and friendship struggles. You or your child can find support and help for anxiety through our counseling services designed specifically for teens and young adults. My approach is based on evidence-based practices and tailored to your or your teen’s unique needs. I understand that anxiety can manifest in different ways, and I’m here to help you navigate the challenges that come with it. Whether you're dealing with social anxiety, panic attacks, or generalized anxiety, therapy can provide tools and support.

Some approaches to treating anxiety in therapy include:

  1. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is a highly effective approach to treating anxiety. Through my training with the Academy of Cognitive Therapy, I can help my clients to identify and challenge negative thoughts and beliefs that contribute to your anxiety. We'll work together to develop coping skills and strategies that can help you manage your anxiety symptoms.

  2. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR): MBSR is a form of meditation that can help reduce stress and anxiety. We'll guide you through mindfulness exercises and help you cultivate a greater sense of awareness and presence.

  3. Exposure Therapy: Exposure therapy involves gradually exposing you to the situations or objects that trigger your anxiety. This can help desensitize you to these triggers and reduce your anxiety over time.

I understand that seeking help for anxiety can be scary and overwhelming, but I’m here to support you every step of the way. My goal is to help you or your teen feel more confident, resilient, and in control of your life.
