Anxiety Therapy

If you’re like many people living with anxiety, you probably feel like you have to “power through” this experience on your own. But therapy is a place where you can let your guard down, talk about what’s going on, and finally get some of the weight off your chest.

Working with a counselor gives you a chance to better understand the roots of your anxiety and what triggers symptoms while helping you build healthier and more effective coping skills. All of the fear, self-doubt, and worry—you can bring it here, and we’ll help you work through your pain and find a way toward a life in which you feel safe, confident, and at peace.

How Do Anxiety Therapy Sessions Work?

First, we offer both online and in-person anxiety counseling services, so we can meet virtually or face-to-face, whichever is more comfortable and convenient for you. After a free, 15-minute phone consultation, we can schedule our first session together to begin exploring your experience with anxiety. Rather than merely treating surface symptoms, we want to get to the core of the issue.

That requires breaking down the therapeutic process into pieces that are more digestible—blocks of time in which we can dedicate our focus to one thing instead of jumping around. For instance, if we are exploring your child years or relationships and discover trauma, we’ll work on reconciling that before moving on so we’re not fighting battles on multiple fronts.

We can also look at the meaning of your symptoms, identify the purpose of your previous coping mechanisms, and repurpose those skills in a healthy way. Our goal is to collaborate with you to create an organic treatment strategy for overcoming anxiety and experiencing a lighter, more fulfilling life.

What Is Our Approach To Anxiety Counseling?

Heart and Mind Healing understands that everyone heals differently, so our anxiety disorder specialists utilize an integrative approach to therapy that draws from various modalities. Our primary tool is psychoanalytic/psychotherapeutic talk therapy, which allows us to explore the cause of anxiety and how a person can uniquely grow from that.

We use experiential strategies that enable us to “read” the physical manifestations of anxiety in a client’s body as they share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT for anxiety help reframe negative thought patterns. Aspects of Sand Tray Art for anxiety facilitate deep exploration and discussion. And homework between sessions helps clients track their progress, log problems they want to tackle, and practice skills they learned in session.

So whether you’re coping with overwhelming stress, social anxiety disorder, panic attacks, or any other related issue, anxiety treatment can help. With support and guidance, you can wake up feeling good about the day knowing you don’t have to carry a weight on your chest any longer. You can heal the core of your anxiety and finally begin living with a greater sense of lightness, peace, and satisfaction.
