Anxiety therapy for a mind that won’t switch off
Constant worry. Overthinking. Never quite able to relax, even when nothing is technically wrong. Whatever is driving the worry, you don’t have to untangle where it comes from before you start. That’s part of what we do together.
The goal isn’t to silence every worry. It’s for worry to take up less of your day.
Some people notice
You don’t need to tick every box. One or two that feel familiar is reason enough to reach out.
- Worry that won’t switch off, even when you tell it to
- Overthinking the same thing on a loop
- Trouble relaxing, even when nothing’s technically wrong
- A racing heart or tight chest, for no clear reason
- Feeling on edge, like something’s about to go wrong
- Avoiding situations that might trigger the worry
The questions people ask
Is the first session just talking?
Yes. The first session is a conversation about what’s going on and what you’d like to be different. No homework, no big decisions, nothing you have to face.
How long does this take?
Everyone’s different. There’s no set number of sessions. Every few sessions we check in together so you can see how it’s going, and you can stop at any time.
Will I have to face the things I’m avoiding?
Only if and when you agree to. Some approaches involve slowly approaching things you’ve been avoiding, but you set the steps, nothing is sprung on you, and you can slow down any time.
What kind of therapy would we use?
Most often CBT, one of the best-studied approaches for anxiety. We also use ACT and mindfulness-based approaches, sometimes alongside EMDR, somatic work, or CBT-I if sleep is part of it. We match it to how your anxiety actually shows up.
What if it’s depression too?
That’s common, and we work on both at once. You don’t have to sort out which one is “the real problem” before we start. If depression is the bigger piece, see our depression page.
