You’re troubled by persistent thoughts of worry and fear. You feel more on-edge, and it’s been harder to stay focused. Maybe you’ve noticed your heart rate unexpectedly start racing, your palms sweating, or your breath becoming more shallow. You’re bracing for something bad to happen. 

Your thoughts keep you up at night, as your mind seems to be caught in a vicious cycle of “what ifs” and worst possible outcomes. Even as you try to find small pockets of calm, restlessness exists just below the surface. You’ve noticed—or perhaps others have noticed—you’re more irritable. These thoughts and comments only serve to make things worse. 

You’ve tried working through this on your own, but you’ve reached the end of your patience and endurance. You’re ready to get help and start feeling better. You know you don’t want to live this way anymore. 

Counseling for anxiety can help you manage, and even decrease, your feelings of worry and fear. It provides a nurturing setting where you can develop an understanding of the underlying origins of your anxiety, while also recognizing your triggers and patterns.

Anxiety and stress may be what feels normal for you now, but through the process of counseling, you can begin to live a life free from the constant burden of anxiety.
