Your anxiety, depression or trauma is making life more and more difficult. You are struggling to sleep, relax or enjoy the things you used to. Daily stressors and demands feel overwhelming; you're burnout and exhausted. You feel stuck in a vicious cycle of overthinking, perfectionism and comparing yourself to others. No matter how hard you try nothing ever feels good enough. You feel lost and alone. You often worry that you are a burden or that other’s won’t understand so you keep all the pain inside and try to manage it on your own. You are tired of waking up each day hoping it will be better and are ready for real, lasting change.

Do you often put on a smile and act as though everything is OK-even when you may be screaming on the inside? Or maybe you constantly worry about what might happen and find it impossible to "let things go"? If so, my guess is that you often feel depleted, anxious, overwhelmed, and stressed. You have likely tried many things to feel better, but have yet to find relief. If this sounds like you, I want you to know that you can feel better and I help people just like you.

Anxiety Therapists
What are the most common treatments for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
