Anxiety Therapy in Lake Oswego, OR
Anxiety has you second-guessing every decision you make.
On the outside, it looks like you have it all together at work and at home. Internally though? You feel like your heart might actually explode at any moment and you’re counting down the seconds until you can find a private place to cry.
You deserve a life where anxiety doesn’t loom over every part of your day.
You don’t need to be told it’s all in your head.
You can’t take another sleepless night.
You need a clear path away from anxiety so you stop questioning whether or not you need to use one of your sick days at work.
At its best, anxiety is a normal stress response that can keep us safe — but other times it can hold us back in not-so-subtle ways.
If you were being chased by a bear, you’d want your anxiety to kick in to get your feet moving (preferably away from the bear). But there’s no bear in your work calls. There’s no bear in the meetings with your higher-ups. So why does it feel like there is?
When you struggle with anxiety, your brain processes stressors as if every single one were potentially life-threatening.
Anxiety can show up in your body as:
Stomach pains that only happen before a meeting at work
The sensation of being on the verge of tears at any given moment
Your heartbeat speeding up the moment someone asks you a question and you scramble to give them the right answer

Therapy for Anxiety FAQs
-
Research shows that the best indicator of positive outcomes in therapy is how you feel about your therapist not the kind of therapy you attend.
That being said, I've noticed over the years of providing anxiety therapy that a strong relationship combined with somatic therapy approaches like Brainspotting have long-lasting effects for treating anxiety.
