Feeling a certain level of anxiety over big stressors or certain life events is totally normal. However, if you find that your fear or worry does not go away and, in fact, gets worse over time, you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder. Mild anxiety is vague and unsettling and often passes quickly, while severe anxiety can seriously affect your day-to-day life. If you are finding your anxiety unmanageable, can’t identify the cause of your anxious feelings or if you are suffering from physical symptoms (such as heart palpations, fatigue, sweaty hands, upset stomach, or insomnia), it may be time to get help. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s anxiety specialists today.
Anxiety can feel like a lot to handle, but I truly believe understanding it is the key to easing it. My approach focuses on the ‘felt sense’—those physical sensations and emotions we feel when anxiety shows up. By tuning into these feelings, we can start to make sense of what’s going on in our bodies and minds, and get a clearer picture of what anxiety is trying to tell us. With this awareness, we can calm the nervous system and learn to respond with more ease and clarity.
— David Klein, PsychotherapistAnxiety is the most common behavioral health condition and can be one of the most disabling. Thankfully, there’s no need to feel trapped in avoidance, fear, and resentment. I treat most forms of anxious thoughts and feelings, including diagnoses of PTSD and OCD, and I’m trained in multiple research-informed treatments. That includes Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Inference-Based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (ICBT).

— Patricia Schuetz, Licensed Marriage & Family TherapistAnxiety is marked by excessive worrying, feeling on edge and difficulty concentrating. It makes is hard to enjoy every day life when worry is always on your mind.

As we challenge the thoughts that keep us on edge, our anxiety is decreased and can be replaced by a happier state of being.

— Rebecca Stewart, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in ,Racing pulse? Sweaty palms? Tight chest? Shortness of breath? Difficulty thinking clearly? Feeling “anxiety”? These are some of the most common signs of anxiety, a normal human emotional and physical state that serves to signal us that something important is going on. A little anxiety keeps us alert, such as when we are about to cross the street and our anxiety signals us to be cautious and check for traffic before stepping off the curb. A lot of anxiety can distract us, make us physically uncomfortable, steal our sleep, lead us to avoid important activities in life, and even increase our risk for stroke, heart attack, and other serious illness. I help clients decrease their suffering from excessive anxiety by working on several fronts: reducing uncomfortable symptoms by increasing coping and relaxation skills; examining and changing anxiety-provoking ways of thinking; and getting to the root causes of the anxiety in order to minimize recurrences and develop mastery over excessive anxiety.
