I am proud of you for taking the first steps for you. I imagine this is not easy, but this is a sign of strength and you're stronger then you know. In today's realities, many are struggling with uncertainties, stress, fear, loneliness and isolation. If you are facing ADHD/Depression/Anxiety symptoms, therapy can be helpful in learning coping strategies. If you're struggling and having a hard time, therapy can be helpful. Lets learn how to bring ourselves a sense of calm and learn how to be in control of our life. Therapy helps us learn to manage the perceived unmanageable.

We all face difficult times in life and sometimes cannot even pinpoint the source of the pain. Therapy is an incredible way to face what hurts but also an amazing opportunity to grow into our best selves. I work with adolescents and adults who are struggling with anxiety/depression, past-trauma, divorce/separation, toxic relationships and negative seIf-talk/faulty thinking. You may not feel like yourself lately, or are struggling to even know who you are or what you want out of life. Allow me to listen, walk beside you, and help you set and achieve your personal goals. Note: I am a telehealth only therapist with Northwest Counsel.

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.
