Anxiety can look different from person to person. It may show up as persistent worry, racing thoughts, irritability, or a lingering sense that something bad is about to happen. It often affects the body as well, causing symptoms like muscle tension, restlessness, shallow breathing, a knot in your stomach, or a pounding heart.
Feeling anxious is a natural part of being human. It is built within us to protect us from harm. But when anxiety becomes overwhelming, or begins interfering with your daily life or relationships, it might be time to get some help. Getting support can help you connect with others, enjoy life more fully, and feel more like yourself.

Self-pay: We believe in making therapy accessible. Reach out if you would like more details on our financial assistance program.

Our therapists will help you recognize the thoughts and patterns that keep the worry cycle going, the what-ifs, the need for certainty, the urge to avoid. Once those patterns are visible, you have something to work with instead of something running in the background of every decision.
From there, you'll build skills for the moment anxiety shows up. You'll practice slowing down a racing mind, questioning thoughts that feel true but aren't, and facing what you've been avoiding at a pace that works for you. Treatment isn't about eliminating every worry. It's about getting your life back from the ones running the show.

Supporting Your Child
Watching your child struggle with anxiety is its own kind of hard. Maybe it's a teenager who won't go to school some mornings, or a kid who seems fine until the meltdown before bed. You wonder if this is normal worry or something bigger, and whether stepping in helps or makes it worse.
You don't have to sort that out alone. Therapy for kids and teens who struggle with anxiety works best with parents involved. Your child will learn tools for managing anxious thoughts, and you'll get a clearer picture of what's driving those moments and how to respond.
