These scary emotions, feelings, and anxiety provoking concerns are normal and treatable.
Has motherhood bombarded you with emotions that reflect depression, anxiety, feeling trapped between crippling thoughts of uncertainty, shame, guilt, hopeless, or feeling overwhelmed with the common realities that new moms experience? Life with a new baby changes everything, and for most your days are startled by the arrival of doubt and fears that may replace the love in your heart. Societal stigma convey that mothers should conceal their alarming thoughts. I am here to tell you 'Good Mothers' have these thoughts, and that all mothers may not feel good about being mothers all the time.

Counseling is not just an educational endeavor for me, it is my true life’s passion. As my primary spiritual/natural gift, my purpose on earth is to utilize my counseling skills to serve others in any capacity that I can. We have all felt sad, angry, lonely, misunderstood, unforgiven, misused, abused, fed up, and so on and so forth. Our goal in therapy would be to examine your emotional well being and how it impacts your life. While you process through everything from past trauma to current conflicts, it is significant to know that your growth and healing is what is most important to me.

As a hard working individual, stressed out and anxious have become your new normal. Every morning, you put on a brave face and smile as you step onto the corporate battle field. There are times that you fly off the handle over the simplest things, and yet can't explain why something so small would get you so bent out of shape. Day by day, the irritation seems to be tightening its grasp. You find yourself losing sleep, wondering if you left any tasks undone. It's becoming impossible to enjoy the activities you love because you are such a tightly wound ball of nerves. Work-life balance is starting to sound like a fairy tale.

Maybe you are depressed or anxious, experiencing job burnout, and nothing you've tried has helped. You might have a vision of how you want life to change, but need a calm and supportive place to work out how to get there. In times like these, you want someone to understand you, help you redefine your strengths, and offer some new options.

Anxiety Therapists

What are the most common treatments for anxiety?

Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.

How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?

The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.

When should I seek treatment for anxiety?

Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.

How effective is treatment for anxiety?

Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
