• Underlying Medical Conditions – Some medical issues can cause or worsen symptoms of anxiety.

Common symptoms of anxiety include excessive worry, restlessness, trouble concentrating, rapid heartbeat, difficulty sleeping, and irritability. Other symptoms can occur if you have a specific type of anxiety disorder including – generalized anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), panic disorder, or social anxiety disorder. If these symptoms persist and impact your daily life, seeking professional support can be an essential step toward relief.

Anxiety therapists use evidence-based approaches tailored to your individual needs. Your counseling sessions will focus on understanding your anxiety, identifying triggers, and developing coping strategies to help you manage stress effectively. Some of the therapy methods we may use include:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps identify and reframe negative thought patterns that contribute to anxiety.
