Our Approach to Anxiety Therapy
We utilize evidence-based therapeutic techniques to effectively manage anxiety disorders. Our approach is collaborative, focusing on understanding the specific triggers and patterns unique to your experience. Through cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and other modalities, we help you develop practical coping strategies, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and gradually face feared situations. Our goal is not just symptom reduction but fostering long-term resilience and a deeper understanding of yourself.
Specialized Care for Trauma Recovery
For those impacted by trauma, our therapists are specially trained to provide compassionate healing. We offer trauma-informed care, creating a judgment-free environment where you can safely process difficult experiences. Our therapeutic approaches, which may include somatic techniques alongside established modalities like CBT and EMDR (when appropriate and desired), are designed to help you process trauma, manage associated symptoms like flashbacks and hypervigilance, and rebuild a sense of safety and control in your life.
