Anxiety Therapy in New York
Anxiety Therapy In New York
Everybody experiences anxiety from time to time. But constant overthinking or ruminating can affect your ability to function. Unfortunately, anxiety that leads to "thought spirals" and harsh self-talk rarely vanishes on its own. But the good news is that anxiety, panic attacks, and social anxiety can be treated effectively.
When I meet with people who struggle with anxiety, my initial goal is to reduce distress. Then, we collaborate on a treatment plan to help you overcome the persistent effects of anxiety.
What Can You Expect From
Anxiety Therapy?
An important aspect of my work is that it’s rarely impersonal. Based on our initial call and assessment meeting, I offer clinical impressions and suggestons. For example, you may experience anxious thoughts before and during a deposition hearing or while teaching a lecture, only to continue questioning your performance afterward. This ongoing worry and self-doubt can take an emotional toll on your sense of self and confidence. That is what what I address.
What you can expect is honest, straightforward, and compassionate therapy that aims to reduce distress, increase your capacity to tolerate uncertainty, and help you regain a connection to yourself beyond anxiety.
My intention is not only to process and work through emotional pain, but also to offer you strategies to reduce the discomfort that comes from social anxiety, reduce or eliminate panic attacks, and manage anxiety so that you can have more peace.
Getting Started In Anxiety Therapy
Getting started can feel daunting. I want to make that easier for you. I offer a brief 15-minute phone consultation at no charge. This gives you the chance to talk, ask questions, and see whether moving to a longer face-to-face consultation might feel like the right next step.
I check in about your experience during our call, but I never pressure you to make a decision.
I see the brief consultation as a chance for me to connect with you and learn a bit more about what might be bringing you into therapy.
