Adults: Anxiety

You get drawn into your thoughts and have trouble getting back to the present moment.

It seems like every time you try to climb out of the quicksand, another worry sucks you back in.

Counselling for anxiety is best for those who need help cutting through the mental quicksand and creating clarity in their thoughts.

You’re ready to get a handle on your anxiety and be able to participate in your life without the constant angst.

Whenever you have something that bothers you, you have trouble letting it go. It’s really hard for you to simply acknowledge your worry and send it on its way.

Instead, it’s like a spiral in your head and you keep finding yourself walking the same path with your thoughts. Nothing you do seems to stop your thoughts and sometimes you even feel called to certain behaviors with the hopes they will make your anxiety finally go away.

You find yourself worrying way too much, and you’re starting to believe your worries will come true.

Every day you do whatever you can to avoid facing your anxiety. You’re hiding from certain things and certain people just to avoid triggering an anxious response.

You’re terrified that people are going to notice how much you struggle to keep it together. You know your worry is preventing you from living life the way you’d like to and that it’s going to take working with a therapist to start feeling normal again.

As of now, you’re coping with your anxiety, but getting therapy could make life so much better.

If you are currently experiencing a severe mental illness, we recommend you seek outpatient services at a local program like Thresholds. If you are currently experiencing substance abuse or dependence, please see our other specialized service.

What Will You Pay for Counseling?

Counseling is meant to help you reclaim their daily functioning and stop being scared of the things that trigger their anxiety. Together, you and your therapist will strive to reduce your ruminating thoughts, dread, and physical responses to anxiety. You will figure out how to better manage your thoughts and compulsions so that you can face each moment without fear.You and your therapist will meet together weekly for 55-minute sessions. Therapy is best done with at least an 8-week commitment. We find that clients who cannot commit to at least 8 weekly sessions and meet less than weekly tend to have more difficulty in establishing a relationship with their therapist and often spend their sessions recapping the previous weeks instead of focusing on forward movement.

After 8 weekly sessions, you and your therapist can discuss the movement toward your treatment goals and whether reducing sessions to biweekly or terminating therapy is the next step.
