Anxiety and Mood Disorders

Persistent anxiety has negative consequences.

Everyone has experienced stress and sadness, but sometimes those feelings may last longer and be more intense than we think they should be. These are the times when stress can cause uncontrollable anxiety expressed as several different disorders.

Thoughts can develop into obsessions or compulsions, resulting in out-of-control behaviors and impulses. Those negative thoughts or feelings can take control and gradually affect your daily quality of life.

As a result of anxiety, worrying can become out of control, causing panic attacks and creating uncontrollable fear. Such attacks affect you mentally and physically as you wait for the next trigger.

Sometimes, anxiety is more generalized, causing you to worry constantly. Unlike temporary worries that disappear after a short time, persistent anxiety can keep you on edge and impact your sleep and ability to perform tasks.

Therapy helps provide relief from anxiety.

Anxiety is a natural stress response, but when it becomes exaggerated and expressed as obsessions, phobias, fear, panic, and depression, therapy provides a meaningful solution.

As therapists, we have the training to use several different approaches in our work with clients suffering from anxiety and mood disorders. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a valuable tool for treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) by helping the client break the link between negative thoughts and compulsive responses.

Mindfulness is another approach that can help you become more aware of your thoughts and the emotions they cause. Along these same lines, Psychodynamic Therapy helps the client gain a better understanding of themselves and helps them focus on the underlying causes of their response to current events.

Many other therapy modalities are available for addressing anxiety and mood disorders. Our goal is to learn more about the issues you want to address. We will start with a detailed conversation and decide the best approach to help you overcome what’s troubling you.

Overcome those negative consequences.

There is no reason to allow anxiety and its consequences to rule your life. With the right approach, you can learn to disconnect those negative thoughts from situations and triggers that cause those negative thoughts and behaviors.

Therapy helps you gain awareness by providing the tools you can use to break the connection and gain control over anxiety and its consequences.

We offer you a safe space where you are heard and cared for as you fight to overcome what’s keeping you stuck.
