What Is Anxiety?
When you are experiencing a high amount of stress or are navigating an unwanted situation, anxious thoughts are to be expected, and can even be helpful, serving as a signal that your body and mind are perceiving perceived threats.
But anxiety doesn’t always have a clear trigger or reason; it can arise seemingly out of nowhere, leaving you feeling confused and overwhelmed. It may feel like a constant, looming sense of dread or impending doom, making it difficult to relax or enjoy life’s moments.
What Are The Symptoms Of Anxiety?
- Physical symptoms like heart palpitations or shortness of breath
- Insomnia & exhaustion
- Racing or intrusive thoughts
- Over or under-eating, nausea
- Overwhelmed or worried much of the time
- Panic attacks
- Finding it difficult to do simple tasks
- Avoiding certain places or situations

How Can Anxiety Treatment Help?
A personalized plan may include therapy, lifestyle modifications, and medication.
For some, medication management can be a helpful part of anxiety treatment, especially when symptoms feel overwhelming or persistent. Our providers take an integrative, collaborative approach to help you explore whether medication could support your mental health goals, always keeping your preferences and values at the center of care.
Identifying Triggers
We work together to identify the underlying causes or triggers of your anxiety, whether they’re related to past experiences, current stressors, or cognitive patterns. By understanding what’s contributing to your anxiety, you can begin to address it more effectively.
Developing Coping Strategies
We help you develop coping strategies and relaxation techniques to manage your anxiety symptoms when they arise. These may include mindfulness practices, acceptance & commitment therapy, or cognitive-behavioral techniques to challenge negative thought patterns.
Building Resilience
We support you in building resilience and developing healthier ways of responding to stress and uncertainty. By learning to tolerate discomfort, regulate emotions, and problem-solve effectively, you can increase your ability to cope with anxiety-provoking situations.
Changing Behavior
Together, we identify unhealthy coping skills or avoidance patterns that may be contributing to your anxiety. Through gradual exposure and behavioral techniques, you can learn to confront your fears and build confidence in your ability to cope.
Providing Support
We offer a supportive and non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings, fears, and concerns without concern of criticism or rejection. Having a compassionate provider to confide in can provide validation and encouragement as you work through your anxiety.

Have more questions?
What causes anxiety?
Anxiety can be caused by a combination of factors, including genetics, life experiences, trauma, and environmental stressors. It’s often a complex interplay of these factors rather than a single cause.
How do I know if I have anxiety or just feel stressed?
While stress is a natural response to challenging situations and typically resolves once the stressor is removed, anxiety involves persistent feelings of worry, fear, or unease that may occur even in the absence of a specific stressor. If your symptoms are interfering with your daily life or causing significant distress, it may be a sign of an anxiety disorder.
Can anxiety be cured?
While anxiety disorders cannot be “cured” in the traditional sense, they can be effectively managed with the right treatment and support. Therapy, medication, lifestyle changes, and coping strategies can help reduce symptoms and improve quality of life for many people with anxiety disorders.
Is it typical to experience physical symptoms with anxiety?
Yes, it’s common for anxiety to manifest with physical symptoms such as increased heart rate, rapid breathing, muscle tension, sweating, dizziness, and an upset stomach or poor appetite.. With the right treatment approach involving therapy, medication, lifestyle modifications, and coping skills, the physical symptoms of anxiety can improve.
If you are unsure if online appointments are right for you, we encourage you to schedule a consultation to ask any questions you may have.
