You’re Not Alone In What You’re Feeling

Anxiety isn’t always loud. Sometimes it looks like a constant hum of worry you can’t seem to turn off. Other times, it feels like dread building in your chest before a meeting, a social event, or even just the start of a new day. And sometimes, it becomes something harder to ignore. A full-blown panic attack leaves you feeling completely out of control.

If any of that sounds familiar, you’re not imagining it. And you’re not overreacting.

Anxiety and panic are real, and they affect people in deeply personal ways. The tricky thing is that anxiety can be easy to dismiss. Maybe you’ve told yourself it’s just stress, or that you’ve always been a worrier. Maybe it even feels like your anxiety is what keeps you sharp, prepared, and on top of things. But there’s a difference between healthy concern and anxiety that quietly costs you more than it gives.

You may be experiencing anxiety or panic if you relate to any of the following:

    5

    Racing thoughts that won’t slow down, especially at night

    5

    Physical symptoms like a rapid heartbeat, tight chest, or shortness of breath

    5

    Panic attacks (sudden, intense episodes that are frightening)

    5

    Constant worry about things that haven’t happened yet

    5

    Feeling frozen, overwhelmed, or unable to think clearly in stressful situations

    5

    Difficulty relaxing, even when things are going well

    5

    A sense that your mind is always “on”, and you can’t find the off switch

    Panic attacks, in particular, can be especially frightening. They often involve a rapid heartbeat, difficulty catching your breath, a sense of being outside yourself, and a feeling of being frozen or unable to think. If that’s happened to you, it’s important to know: There is support available, and things can get better.

      FAQs

      Frequently Asked Questions About Anxiety & Panic Therapy

      We know that deciding to seek therapy for anxiety can bring up a lot of questions. Here are answers to some of the most common ones we hear.

      What's the difference between anxiety and a panic attack?

      Anxiety often shows up as persistent worry, racing thoughts, or a general feeling of unease that’s hard to shake. A panic attack is more acute. It typically involves a sudden tidal wave of fear, rapid heartbeat, difficulty breathing, and a sense of being frozen or disconnected from yourself. Both exist on a spectrum, and both respond well to therapy. If you’re not sure which one you’re experiencing, that’s something we can work through together.

      Is it normal to feel anxious, or do I actually need therapy?

      Some anxiety is a normal part of life. The question worth asking is: Are the coping strategies you’ve tried actually helping? If worry or anxiety tends to ease up when you address the situation causing it, that’s a good sign. If your anxiety persists or intensifies even when you’re doing all the “right” things, that’s when therapy can make a real difference.

      Do you treat all types of anxiety?

      We work with a wide range of anxiety-related concerns, including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, health anxiety, and panic disorder. We do not specialize in OCD or offer exposure therapy. If you’re unsure whether we’re the right fit for what you’re experiencing, please reach out. We’re happy to have that conversation.

      Can you prescribe medication for anxiety?

      Our therapists are not licensed to prescribe medication. However, we work closely with trusted providers in the area and can offer a warm referral if medication is something worth exploring alongside your therapy.
