THERAPY FOR ANXIETY
Anxiety affects the best of us. Many of us regularly try to get everything done constantly working against the clock between taking care of family, being social, going to work and trying to exceed unrealistic expectations that we set for ourselves. It’s exhausting to overthink every decision, doubt the next step, second guess what’s next but we do it anyway in the name of perfectionism.
Do you struggle with anxiety, physical symptoms, social anxiety or panic attacks?
Anxiety isn't solely a mental issue—it frequently manifests as physical symptoms, including digestive problems, headaches, and fatigue. Constant sweating, heart palpitations, or feelings of impending doom may indicate a panic disorder.
Fortunately, anxiety is treatable. If you choose me to be your therapist, we will work together to uncover the root cause of your anxiety, develop the tools needed to manage it and incorporate herbal remedies to ease anxiety holistically. You will feel empowered, knowledgable and ready to take on life, once again, on your terms.
With patience, persistence, and practice, you can begin to think and feel differently.
Anxiety often involves striving to find the perfect solution for every problem. Even when outcomes are already decided or beyond your control, you fixate on what could have been or how to avoid mistakes in the future. Despite your efforts to analyze every challenge, decision, or interaction, the anxiety persists.
When you’re anxious, staying present and connecting with others can be difficult. Social anxiety, particularly challenging for women, can make everyday situations feel embarrassing and uncomfortable.
Anxiety Treatment At Beyond Yet Within
Cultivating awareness will be at the core of our work together. What I mean by that is you will learn how to be mindful and how to use mindfulness so you can start adding some gray and other colors to your current black-and-white world.
Living in a black-and-white world can be overwhelming and is what feeds anxiety. I will help you look at things from a different perspective, one that’s more nuanced, which will help you get control over your anxiety, manage it better and ultimately, feel relaxed and less anxious.
We will also work on everything that anxiety brings with it. We will work on being more understanding and kind to yourself. We will also sprinkle in homeopathic remedies that will support you on your journey instead of turning to pharmaceutical options.
my approach
As a therapist specializing in anxiety disorders, I focus on helping millennials navigate their healing journey. Once I understand your nuances of your anxiety, I will tailor my approach to best help you achieve your goals.
My approach to therapy is both dynamic and nurturing. I strive to validate your feelings and experiences while simultaneously challenging you to expand your perspective. This includes offering constructive feedback and gentle nudges to shift your mindset, enabling you to step back and gain a clearer view of your thoughts and emotions.
As you grow in self-awareness, you'll learn to recognize when negative thoughts and sensations begin to dominate, and crucially, how to effectively control them. We'll also work on establishing boundaries that protect your energy and support the life you're striving to build.
Therapy offers a pathway away from perfectionism and people-pleasing, freeing you from a life confined by fear, worry, and self-doubt. By understanding and altering your habitual patterns, you can make meaningful and lasting changes, learning to manage your anxiety in a healthy and sustainable way.
Unsure If Therapy For Anxiety Can Help You?
Anxiety feels like it's a part of who I am. Can therapy really make a difference?
Absolutely, change is not just possible, it's achievable. While anxiety might seem like an ingrained part of your personality, therapy offers a way to modify how you interact with your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By understanding your specific anxiety patterns, I will guide you in developing personalized coping strategies and new approaches to challenges, effectively altering your relationship with anxiety.
I prefer not to dwell on the past. Can we focus on my current issues in therapy?
Yes! Therapy can be very much focused on current challenges and future goals. Although a brief exploration of your history helps in understanding the roots of your anxiety, it's not the sole focus. We'll spend the out time together gaining insight into how past experiences influence your present, and from there, we can concentrate predominantly on managing current stressors and planning for future goals.
Do I have to do 'homework' between therapy sessions?
No worries, we can keep 'homework' to a minimum! If we decide on any activities between sessions, they will be practical and directly related to real-life situations you're facing. For example, if you're anxious about an issue in your relationship, we might plan a specific, actionable strategy for addressing it effectively with your partner. These practical exercises are designed to enhance your skills in real-world settings, helping to reduce your anxiety more broadly and potentially shorten the duration of therapy.
