Whether you’re struggling with low self-esteem, relationships, depression and anxiety, or moving on from a trauma or loss, it is important that you know you don’t have to be alone in this journey.

Many of us suffer from traumatic experiences that we have not properly processed. It is important to find ways to cope with our anxiety, overcome our depression, process our trauma and learn to communicate in a positive manner in order to build healthy relationships with others as well as with ourselves.

Many people look for a counselor because something in life isn't working - a challenging relationship, inability to cope with life's stress in a healthy way, a lack of joy or peace, or some harmful behavior that is out of control. Trying to change on our own isn't working and we've hit a dead end. As a licensed counselor, it's my passion to help you discover a way to navigate these difficulties and move forward toward a life of purpose, fulfillment, and joy.

Being vulnerable in relationships is a gift; but can also be fraught with difficulties and setbacks. I believe people have immeasurable potential for self-actualization and healthy relationships. Many of us need a safe environment, empathy, and validation to explore our potentials and move toward healthier and more fulfilling lives. I seek to listen to and collaborate with clients through integrative modalities and a systemic perspective.

Hi, My name is Andrea David, and I am a licensed therapist with over 25 years of experience. always wanted to help people be the best version of themselves, but as time and life changed I learned to adapt and make changes as I went a long and my passion for helping others has stayed the same. I eventually found a way with education and experience to grow and broaden my horizons and help people feel more in control of their life. This is the only thing I could ever imagine doing because it is not just a career but my love for others trickles into all areas of my life and a therapist is who I am at my core.

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.
