What is Anxiety?

It’s normal to feel anxious from time to time, especially if your life is stressful. However, excessive, ongoing anxiety and worry that are difficult to control and interfere with day-to-day activities may be a sign of generalized anxiety disorder.

Anxiety may affect your thoughts, emotions, physical health, relationships, work, school performance, and overall well-being. The good news is that anxiety is highly treatable, and therapy can help you develop healthier ways to manage stress and regain a sense of control.

What to Expect During Anxiety Therapy

Individual sessions are typically 60 minutes for the initial and 45-50 for the following. Most clients attend 10-12 sessions, but this is all flexible according to your individual needs. Research shows that therapy is most effective if you feel that your therapist is a good fit for you, and your treatment is collaborative. We provide an individualized phone consult with our patient care coordinator to ensure an excellent fit to meet your needs and calm worry with starting therapy.

Call or text (801) 871-5118 to help you overcome your struggles and make for a brighter, more peaceful and manageable future. We are here to support you.
