Anxiety

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, persistent Anxiety Disorders impact “40 million American adults age 18 years and older (about 18%) in a given year.” Far from the occasional worries that normally come and go in everyday life, individuals suffering from anxiety experience “excessive, irrational fear and dread.”

Many people with anxiety disorders also experience shame and self-recrimination as a result of not being able to address or handle their “worry” on their own.

How therapy can help you with your anxiety:

Many Anxiety Disorders respond well to Cognitive Behavioral interventions which offer specific tools and tasks for symptom reduction such as:

• Increasing your awareness of situations and thoughts which increase your anxiety
  
• Increasing your ability to respond calmly and confidently to anxiety or fear provoking events
  
• Increasing your ability to soothe yourself when feelings of anxiety arise
  
• Decreasing self-blame associated with symptoms of anxiety
  
• Addressing the possible underlying sources of your anxiety
