Anxiety is one of the most common reasons people seek therapy — and one of the most treatable. It doesn’t look the same for everyone. Sometimes it’s chronic low-grade worry that never fully goes away. Sometimes it’s panic attacks that seem to come out of nowhere. Sometimes it’s a pattern of avoiding anything that might trigger that familiar dread.
Whatever anxiety looks like for you, the good news is clear: it responds well to treatment. People recover from anxiety disorders — often more completely than they expect.
Anxiety shows up in many different forms. Our therapists are trained to work across the full spectrum of anxiety presentations.
Chronic, excessive worry about everyday things that’s hard to control
Recurrent panic attacks and fear of when the next one might happen
Intense fear of social situations, judgment, or embarrassment
Intrusive thoughts, obsessions, and compulsive behaviors that disrupt daily life
Specific fears that cause significant distress or avoidance behavior
Persistent fear about illness or physical symptoms despite reassurance

Read all FAQs →Normal stress is usually tied to a specific situation and fades when that situation resolves. Anxiety tends to be more persistent, affects multiple areas of life, and often feels disproportionate to the actual situation. If worry or fear is significantly interfering with your daily functioning or quality of life, that’s worth exploring in therapy regardless of what label fits.
Not necessarily. Many people experience significant relief from anxiety through therapy alone — particularly CBT, which has an extensive evidence base for anxiety disorders. For some people, a combination of therapy and medication is most effective. Our therapists can help you think through your options and refer you to a prescriber if appropriate, but medication is never required.
