Anxiety

Anxiety Treatment

Anxiety is a natural and inevitable part of life. It’s a fear-based response that can help us anticipate future threats, which has tremendous benefit in certain situations. However, anxiety can also be problematic and unhelpful in many modern contexts and problematic anxiety can take on many forms, including generalized anxiety and worry, social anxiety, panic attacks, health anxiety, and phobias. Persistent and unhelpful anxiety can get in the way of living fulfilling lives by making us avoid meaningful people, places, and activities.

Our experienced clinicians can help you identify and navigate unhelpful anxiety using a variety of evidence-based strategies. Our focused, personalized therapy for anxiety can let you navigate your anxiety more fluidly and create a greater sense of purpose and connection in your life.
