Nights spent tossing and turning, chasing sleep that seems just out of reach.
Feeling restless or on edge, as if you’re a tightly coiled spring ready to snap at the slightest touch.

Some Common Questions:
Can anxiety therapy cure my anxiety?
While therapy may not ‘cure’ anxiety in the traditional sense, it can provide significant relief from symptoms and teach lifelong skills for managing anxiety. The goal is to reduce anxiety’s impact on your life and improve your overall well-being.
Can I benefit from anxiety therapy even if my symptoms are mild?
Absolutely. Even if your anxiety symptoms are mild, you can benefit from therapy. It’s not just the severity but the impact of these symptoms on your life that matters. Therapy can provide you with tools to manage anxiety, prevent it from escalating, and improve your overall mental wellbeing, regardless of the current intensity of your symptoms.
How do I know if my anxiety is bad enough to need therapy?
Deciding to seek therapy doesn’t require your anxiety to reach a certain threshold. It’s more about how it affects your daily life. If you find that worry or fear is consistently interfering with your work, relationships, or enjoyment of life, it might be time to consider therapy. Remember, therapy is a proactive step towards wellness, not just a remedy for severe issues.
Can online therapy be effective for anxiety?
Yes, online therapy can be very effective for treating anxiety. It offers the same level of professional care as in-person therapy and can be particularly beneficial for those who prefer the convenience or comfort of receiving therapy from their own home. Many people find that the digital format can actually make it easier to open up and discuss their feelings.
How do I start anxiety therapy if I'm anxious about therapy itself?
Feeling anxious about starting therapy is entirely normal, especially if you’re dealing with anxiety. The first step is reaching out, perhaps through a phone call or email, to schedule an initial consultation. Remember that therapy is a collaborative process, and therapists are trained to make you feel as comfortable as possible. Starting therapy is a brave decision, and many find that their anxiety about therapy decreases significantly after the first few sessions.
