Specialized counseling in-person in Columbus Ohio and Online anywhere in the state of Ohio
Anxiety and stress can make it feel like you are never really present fully for your life and relationships.
Do you find yourself unable to quiet a constant stream of worries? It feels difficult to feel present even for enjoyable moments because of all the “what ifs”, overthinking, nagging thoughts, and worry. And simmering just under the surface, loads of emotion – fear, frustration, guilt, exhaustion, loneliness.
Anxiety can show up in many ways.
Do any of these sound familiar?
Excessive rumination
Muscle tension or difficulty relaxing
Digestive issues
Persistent fatigue
Trouble focusing
Withdrawal from social activities
Disrupted sleep patterns
Panic attacks
Self-doubt
Feelings of guilt or shame
Ready to feel more present in your life and relationships instead of constantly worrying and overthinking everything?
Therapy can help you feel more present in your life and relationships, confident in yourself, and open to enjoying what is most important to you. Together in therapy we will explore how anxiety shows up for you, the underlying causes and roots of anxiety, strategies to manage anxiety in the moment, and how to become more present for your life and relationships.
We utilize a range of evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique needs, such as…
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Learn to identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected, and that changing negative thoughts can lead to changes in feelings and behaviors.
-
Mindfulness-based Interventions
Build present moment awareness and learn to observe thoughts, emotion and bodily sensations without judgment. Mindfulness helps build the capacity to observe anxious thoughts and emotions without becoming overwhelmed by them.
-
Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC)
Learn to foster a kind and understanding attitude towards oneself, reducing self-criticism and perfectionism that often fuel anxiety. By offering ourselves the same care and support we would give to a friend, self-compassion reduces feelings of isolation and inadequacy.
-
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR helps reframe and reduce the emotional charge of traumatic or distressing experiences, making it easier to manage anxiety and improve overall emotional well-being.
