Anxiety Treatment Empowers You To Live On Your Own Terms
Most people who are dealing with anxiety have had at least one person diminish their experience with statements like, "It's all in your head," or "Relax, you'll live longer." However, working with an anxiety therapist means having an ally who truly understands what you are going through.
Therapy gives you a safe space in which you can share your story, discover the roots of your pain, and take concrete steps toward overcoming anxiety. Whether you prefer individual in-person sessions or group counseling online, we offer flexible anxiety treatment options designed to make you feel safe, validated, and understood.
After a brief phone consultation, we'll begin with an initial 90-minute assessment that allows us to understand what you're going through. We'll look at the nature of your anxiety symptoms, how they are affecting your daily life, and what you hope to achieve from Therapy. Using that assessment's information, we can develop a treatment plan and introduce you to one of our anxiety support groups if that's your preference.
At Insideout Living, we take an "iceberg" approach to treating anxiety. That means rather than merely addressing symptoms, we want to get below the surface and identify, understand, and treat any underlying factors. To do that, we offer several anxiety treatment options, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, and Somatic Therapy.
CBT allows us to spot negative thought patterns developed in the past that may be influencing how we think, act, and feel now. EMDR is particularly helpful for minimizing the impact of any distressing memories related to a traumatic event that may be driving anxiety. Somatic Therapy helps us identify where stress and anxiety get trapped in the body so we can release that energy.
We also draw upon aspects of Experiential Therapy, incorporating music, art, writing, role-play, dance, and yoga to create a comprehensive and holistic healing strategy that speaks to you. Throughout sessions, we'll equip you with powerful mindfulness, breathing, and grounding techniques that help you reduce stress and manage anxiety inside and outside sessions.
Anxiety has a way of slowly making your world smaller and robbing you of opportunities for happiness and even success. But you don't have to struggle on your own. At Insideout Living, we can help you develop the skills, self-awareness, and confidence to free yourself from anxiety and begin living on your own terms. With our help, you can feel less stressed, more relaxed, and completely capable of handling whatever life throws at you.
Perhaps you are considering anxiety treatment but still have some concerns…
I'm worried that counseling will make my anxiety worse.
Facing your fears is never easy, but the powerful thing about Therapy is that it gives you a space to contain that pain so it's no longer overwhelming. Our therapists are all trained to minimize your experience with anxiety, no matter how severe. We also offer a diverse range of anxiety treatment options that enable us to tackle anxiety from many different angles, so there's always a workaround should anything become too intense. That being said, we'll always move at a pace that feels comfortable and safe for you.
Between work and everything else, I don't know if I can make the time for anxiety counseling.
Time is a concern for many of our clients, which is why we offer all of our individual and group therapy sessions for anxiety online. It eliminates the need to travel, take time off from work, or find a sitter for the kids. And it's just as effective as traditional in-person sessions. Moreover, because Therapy works best when people feel safe and at ease, online anxiety counseling can facilitate the healing process because it meets clients wherever they feel most comfortable.
Do I have to join a support group for anxiety, or can I do individual treatment sessions?
Ultimately, we would love to see you in a group because that is where the true healing happens. Though it may sound intimidating at first, working in a group setting helps normalize what you are going through, and it gives you an incredible system of communal support that individual sessions cannot provide. However, we understand that each person has their own experience with anxiety, so we'll always respect your needs for Therapy and what you want the healing process to look like.
