Anxiety Treatment
"You don't have to control your thoughts. You just have to stop letting them control you." — Dan Millman
Do You Wish You Could Just Slow Down In Life?
Have you been feeling abnormally stressed lately? Does it seem like you're moving too fast for your own good or just spinning your wheels and getting nowhere in life? Maybe you're full of frantic, chaotic energy 24/7—like you can't slow down and enjoy life as it comes to you. Or perhaps you're angry and irritable. The smallest things tick you off, and you feel impatient with yourself and everyone around you.
Living with anxiety can throw off your day-to-day life, affecting your ability to work, socialize, and do the things you love. You may experience racing thoughts, panic attacks, lack of sleep, or even bodily aches and pains. Sometimes the signs of anxiety aren't so obvious, however. Often anxiety will simply look like anger or sadness.
If you want to stave off intrusive thoughts and find stillness in your life, we would be honored to help. By working with an anxiety counselor from our staff, you can learn to regulate your emotions, stay mindful and present, and improve your self-confidence and self-esteem for years to come.
Anxiety Is On The Rise In Our Noisy, Fast-Paced World
Anxiety is the number-one mental health ailment in the US. What's more, many people who experience anxiety also suffer from another mental health issue—nearly half of those dealing with anxiety also have depression. And while no one is immune to anxiety, women are almost twice as likely to struggle with it as men are.
These statistics are not surprising, given the fast-paced society we live in. Our culture values perfection and performance over rest and play. There is so much pressure to look like we have it all together that it can be overwhelming at times. Social media floods us with images of people who seem happier and more successful than we are. It's no wonder many of us struggle with anxiety.
On our own, we like to tell ourselves: "If I just try harder, I can make my anxiety go away." The trouble is that "trying harder" often creates more problems than it solves. This is why the most effective form of self-care is finding someone nurturing and compassionate who can listen to you and help you see yourself in a new light.
Anxiety Treatment Empowers You To Face Tomorrow With Joy And Assurance
Here at Monarch Family Counseling, we will teach you effective, real-life coping skills and act as a sounding board for what works and what doesn't. We'll also explore any internal and external factors contributing to your anxiety, such as past trauma or current events. By getting to the root of your troubles, we can help expand your self-awareness and equip you with the strength to control negative thoughts and emotions.
Our entire approach to anxiety treatment is personalized to meet your desires and goals. You can expect to learn grounding strategies and coping skills uniquely suited to your situation. We'll teach you to self-talk your way through negative thoughts and identify any additional stressors contributing to your anxiety.
Our staff is well-trained in a wide array of treatment methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. Additionally, we may bring in expressive arts to enhance creativity and promote relaxation.
You May Have Some Concerns About Anxiety Treatment…
I just want to feel better now.
Therapy is not magic, but it can offer serious relief in the form of skills and strategies that can help you feel better now. That said, anxiety therapy is not all about instantaneous relief. We want to provide both short-term relief for your symptoms and long-term healing for the underlying pain that created anxiety in the first place.
I don't want to be on medication.
We're here to support you on your own terms. We'll never push you to try something you're uncomfortable with. If you don't want medication, we will try to help you cope and heal without it. But if we feel you would benefit from it, we will at least discuss it with you.
How do I know that anxiety treatment will work?
Here at Monarch, we are all trained professionals with years of experience. The methods we work with are evidence-based, the skills we teach are tried-and-true, and the work that you put in yourself can make the greatest difference of all. People are usually more resilient than they imagine.
