Anxiety
Do you or your child suffer from anxiety? Does it feel like you can’t control it no matter how hard you try?
I’m here to tell you that you are not alone and I am confident I can help. My practice offers effective treatment through education and awareness about where our anxiety is coming from and provides coping tools that will get you and your child the relief from the anxiety that you deserve.
When it comes to treating anxiety disorders, research shows that therapy is usually the most effective option. That’s because anxiety therapy treats more than just symptoms to the problem, but focuses on the underlying issues.
Often, these are the symptoms of anxiety:
- Nervousness, restlessness, or being tense
- Feelings of danger, panic, or dread
- Rapid breathing or hyperventilation
- Increased or heavy sweating
- Trembling or muscle twitching
- Weakness or lethargy
- Difficulty focusing or thinking clearly about anything other than the thing you’re worried about
- Insomnia
- Obsessions about certain ideas, a sign of obsessive-compulsive disorder
- Anxiety surrounding a particular life event or experience that has occurred in the past, a sign of post-traumatic stress disorder
Therapy can help to uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears, learn how to relax, look at situations in a new, less frightening way, and develop better coping mechanisms and problem-solving skills.
If your child is suffering from daily anxiety, I invite you to contact me today for a free consultation.
