Therapy for Anxiety and Panic

Calming Anxiety and Panic

“I want to meet new people, but I get so nervous in new places, and don’t want to leave my house.”

Is anxiety taking over your life? Does it feel like you can’t control it no matter how hard you try? Have you already tried therapy but found it ineffective?

You may feel like anxiety or panic is such a regular part of your life that you can’t imagine a day without it. Anxious thoughts and feelings can hijack your outlook and even your nervous system.

Here are a few common symptoms of anxiety:

  • Nervousness, restlessness, or feeling tense

  • Feelings of danger, panic, or dread

  • Rapid breathing or hyperventilation

  • Increased or heavy sweating

  • Trembling or muscle twitching

  • Weakness or lethargy

  • Difficulty focusing or thinking clearly about anything other than your worries

  • Insomnia

  • Obsessions about certain ideas, a sign of obsessive-compulsive disorder

  • Anxiety surrounding a particular life event or past experience, a sign of post-traumatic stress disorder

If you’ve experienced one (or many) of the signs on that list, you’re not alone. Together, we can uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears. We’ll explore techniques that help both your brain and your body to relax. You’ll learn to look at situations in a new, less frightening way, and develop better coping mechanisms and problem-solving skills. Over time, panic and anxiety won’t play such a big role in your life. Let’s work together to help you spend more time paying attention to the things you truly care about, and less time worrying.
