I'm Worrying Excessively. I Can't Relax. Can Therapy Help Me?
Anxiety disorders are not only common but highly treatable. We specialize in treating anxiety using cognitive behavioral treatment methods. Anxiety can be paralyzing and limiting, but it’s possible to overcome it with help!
Our Anxiety Counseling Services provide tailored strategies to manage and reduce your anxiety, helping you regain control and improve your quality of life.
Fear vs. Anxiety
ANXIETY DISORDERS ARE ONE OF THE MOST COMMON DISORDERS, AFFECTING OVER 40 MILLION AMERICANS.
Fear is a normal response to danger or a threat. It is a protective defense mechanism that is triggered when we face danger. A physiological response, known as the “fight/flight” response, takes place in the body to prepare us to survive. A mild degree of fear is healthy when there is a genuine risk.
Anxiety, however, is different from fear in that it is excessive, intense, limiting, and based off of feelings and thoughts rather than tangible circumstances. Anxiety can cause people to avoid, limit opportunities, or overthink.
This pattern can be broken. When anxiety occurs frequently for no apparent reason, is long-lasting, and begins to interfere with your normal life, it may be time to seek anxiety counseling. Our anxiety counseling services are designed to help you manage and reduce anxiety, offering effective strategies to regain control and improve your well-being.
