It can sneak into every aspect of your life, turning simple tasks into overwhelming challenges. That’s why we’re dedicated to providing a supportive and nurturing environment where you can learn to manage your anxiety, find peace, and breathe easy once again.
Our Approach
Our therapy practice is grounded in evidence-based approaches tailored specifically to treat individuals with anxiety. We believe in a holistic approach that addresses not just the symptoms, but the root causes of your anxiety. Our team of licensed therapists specializes in a variety of therapeutic techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), among others.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): A widely recognized effective treatment for anxiety, CBT helps you identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors, replacing them with healthier ones.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR): This practice involves mindfulness meditation to help you stay present and reduce the overwhelming thoughts and worries that fuel anxiety.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): DBT focuses on teaching coping skills to manage stress, regulate emotions, and improve relationships affected by anxiety.
