Therapy for Anxiety
Compassionate, evidence-based support for teens and adults navigating worry, overwhelm, and the pressure to hold it all together.
Living with anxiety can feel like you’re constantly bracing for something to go wrong—even when everything looks “fine” on the outside. You might be the one people rely on, the high achiever, the caretaker, or the perfectionist. But inside, you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and tired of feeling like you can’t catch your breath.
Signs You May Be Struggling With Anxiety
If these resonate, you’re not alone—and therapy can help.
Your mind doesn’t shut off. You’re replaying conversations, imagining worst-case scenarios, or lying awake spiraling at night.
You feel “on edge” all the time. Even small things—messages, deadlines, decisions—make your chest tighten.
You overthink everything. You worry you said the wrong thing. You overprepare. You second-guess every choice.
You’re overwhelmed but still pushing yourself. You meet expectations, but at the cost of your wellbeing.
You carry pressure to perform. Whether it’s school, work, or family duty, you always feel like you’re falling short.
You feel responsible for everyone else’s emotions. You people-please, avoid conflict, and say “yes” when your whole body wants to say “no.”
Your body feels tired—but your brain won’t slow down. Headaches, jaw tension, stomach pain, fatigue, restlessness, and panic symptoms are constant companions.
You hide how much you’re struggling. On the outside you look put together. Inside, you’re running on fumes.
You feel disconnected from yourself. You’re functioning, but not actually living.
Cultural or family expectations make it hard to rest or ask for help. Especially if you grew up hearing “just work harder,” “don’t make a scene,” or “keep it together.”
If you see yourself in these, it doesn’t mean you’re failing—it means you’re human, and you deserve support.
