C​ommon Anxiety Symptoms​​

TOPICS

Feeling anxiety can be a natural response to help us deal with threats identified in our environment. Anxiety stops being helpful when experienced in safe, everyday situations. Excessive anxiety may start to negatively affect one's emotional well-being, relationships with others, health, career, and identity. Counseling can help.

​

​We help clients develop healthy coping skills and thinking through evidence-based techniques and therapies. Together, the counselor works with clients to create meaningful goals and work towards a more manageable, satisfying life.
