Through my own experience of finding the courage to go to counseling after years of anxiety, depression, growing as a parent, and grief and loss, I found the hope I needed to thrive and not just survive.
Now taking Aetna and Cigna. Taking new adults, teens, and kids now! Are you or your child feeling like there are no choices and you are just swept along by the current? Do you often feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety and you don't know where to start or which direction to go? Does low mood sometimes leave you feeling like you have nothing left to give? Does your anger bubble over and you just don't feel like yourself anymore? Living with anxiety, depression, stress, or resentment can feel unbearable. You don't have to merely "survive" life though. You can live in, direct, and thrive in your life again or for the first time.

Have you experienced trauma, whether as a child or adult? You know it's a big part of why you struggle now, but you aren't sure how this piece fits into the big picture. Trauma can affect our relationships, ability to cope, and distress tolerance and can leave us with a pervasive feeling of overwhelment, being lost, depressed, anxious, and alone. Maybe you even experience a feeling of being out control. You might have given up on ever feeling different. You don't have to just bear life though, struggling in silence or alone. You do not have to be held down by your trauma anymore. I can help you on a journey of healing.

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.
