How can therapy help 

Therapy provides a safe space to explore the root causes of anxiety and develop personalized coping strategies. It helps individuals build resilience and regain control over their thoughts and emotions.

  • Increases awareness of anxious thoughts and feelings without judgment

  • Encourages acceptance rather than avoidance of uncomfortable emotions

  • Helps clarify personal values to guide purposeful action despite anxiety

  • Teaches mindfulness skills to stay present and reduce rumination

  • Promotes behavioral commitment to meaningful activities, improving overall wellbeing
