Worrying is a natural response to stress and can even be a pathway to effective problem-solving. Distinguishing between constructive worrying and overwhelming anxiety is essential for health and wellness. Constructive worry focuses on addressing and resolving problems, and then the worry typically fades. With anxiety, there is often excessive worry about unlikely outcomes, catastrophizing, or fear of the unknown.

Common symptoms of anxiety include constant feelings of being on edge, difficulty relaxing, trouble concentrating, persistent concerns, irritability, sleep disturbances, and physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat, muscle tension, jaw clenching, or stomach discomfort. Anxiety can also lead to panic attacks, trembling, sweating, difficulty breathing, and avoidance behaviors that interfere with daily life.

There are proven, evidence-based treatments available to help manage and reduce anxiety symptoms. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Exposure Response Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and Systematic Desensitization are highly effective in helping individuals regain control over their anxiety. Therapy for anxiety helps you navigate the underlying thoughts and triggers that fuel your worry, and provides practical strategies to calm the mind, manage physical symptoms, and overcome stress in everyday situations. A personalized treatment plan that includes these interventions can lead to lasting relief, greater emotional resilience, and improved overall wellness.
