Anxiety

What is Anxiety?

Anxiety can be experienced in many different ways. You may notice yourself experiencing frequent worry thoughts about a specific topic or in many different areas, which interferes with your daily life. You may experience panic attacks in which you have difficulty breathing, increased heart rate, or other symptoms that feel intrusive and bothersome. You may know what triggers your anxiety, or it may appear to come out of nowhere for no reason. Some anxiety is specific to certain situations, such as social interactions or when exposed to a specific fear.

How can therapy help someone with anxiety?

First of all, therapy can provide you with a safe space to explore and express your feelings without judgment. Our counselors are here to provide you with compassion and care in further understanding and working through your anxiety.

Therapy at Healing & Growth Counseling can help decrease anxiety in many ways. Our counselors are able to teach and practice healthy coping skills that may be helpful in decreasing anxiety, including deep breathing, mindfulness, guided imagery, and grounding skills. If you struggle with a specific fear or phobia, counseling can help you to heal through exposure therapy. Counseling can help you to investigate the possible origin of your anxiety and process your thoughts and feelings about that situation to bring you to a place of true healing. If the anxiety is related to a traumatic or painful experience from the past, reprocessing this past experience may help to relieve you of your anxiety in the present.
