What We Treat
-
Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety disorders are a result of an overworked nervous system and misfiring threat response. They are usually caused by persistent and excessive worry, fear, or stress overload that interferes with daily life. These disorders can affect anyone, regardless of age or background, and can range from mild to severe. In therapy you will learn why you are experiencing anxiety, how to recover, and when recovered how to stay recovered.

Insomnia and Sleep Anxiety
Sleep anxiety refers to the feeling of anxiety or worry that arises specifically around the act of falling asleep or the idea of not being able to sleep. This can create a vicious cycle: the fear of not being able to fall asleep can itself make it harder to actually relax and get rest. Most of the efforts and help with sleep disorders are misinformed and lead to temporary relief with a frequent return to sleep struggles and feelings of hopelessness.

Chronic conditions often require long-term management and can affect nearly every aspect of daily life. Support is critical. Caregivers and loved ones need support too.
