Anxiety Treatment Through Creative Exploration, Support & Strength Building


Anxiety Treatment

Anxiety can come on suddenly and unexpectedly, while other times it builds up slowly. Anxiety has many faces and each of us can have slightly different experiences with it.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF Anxiety?

  • headaches,

  • stomach/gastrointestinal issues,

  • sleep problems,

  • appetite changes,

  • overall physical tension

  • anxiety and panic attacks

Anxiety also exists in our thinking. It can make us doubt our abilities, second guess our decisions, and not trust our bodies. It can cause us to retreat, avoid, procrastinate and freeze up. In the cases of trauma, we may experience flashbacks, and extreme responses to what looks like mundane events to others.

What kinds of anxiety do YOU help people overcome and manage?

We have worked with and helped people to overcome various kinds or fears, worries, and anxieties.

Common forms of anxiety include:

  • General anxiety that might feel like increased worry about general life anxiety around specific environments, relationships, and events. For example, worries about performance levels at school or work, or being able to lean into difficult conversations with a boss or loved one.

  • Anxiety in social situations

  • Anxiety attacks and panic attacks

  • Test anxiety

  • Obsessions Compulsive Disorder

  • Past traumas

  • Eco Anxiety

  • Recovering from the pandemic, and managing the transitions resulting from COVID-19.

  • Specific fears like driving over bridges and through tunnels.

  • Health worries that have not been substantiated after medical professionals have ruled them out.

  • Returning to activities after concussions.

  • Returning to work after taking time off to raise children

  • Intrusive thoughts
