Anxiety

Your anxiety makes more sense than you think.

It started as something useful. A way to stay ready, stay careful, stay ahead of what might go wrong. Therapy is where you learn what anxiety has been trying to do.

Signs of anxiety can include:

Thoughts that won’t switch off

Feeling restless, wired, on-edge

Small decisions turned over at 2am

Racing heartbeat for no reason

Checking, then checking again

An alarm system that works too well.

Anxiety has a purpose. It alerts us to danger or potential harm. But that alarm system was built for sabertooth tigers. Today, anxiety can be set off by emails from your boss, a rent increase, a text that says “can we talk?”.

Therapy helps you understand what your anxiety is trying to protect. Working together, we can help you find ways to feel the fear without always sounding the alarm.

Anxiety goes by many names.

For some, it’s a low hum. For others, a full-on panic attack. And for many, anxiety is everything in between.

Generalized Anxiety

Pervasive, hard-to-control worry about work, health, relationships, the future. Tiring and relentless.

Social Anxiety

Intense fear of judgment, embarrassment, or rejection in all types of social situations.

Panic Attacks

Overwhelming waves of physical and mental terror, often with rapid heartbeat and shortness of breath.

Phobias

Irrational fear of things like heights, flying, elevators, spiders, etc, that can shrink your world.

Performance Anxiety

Excessive nerves around public speaking, work presentations, job interviews, or taking exams.

OCD

Distressing, intrusive thoughts that lead to repetitive checking, washing, counting, or reassurance seeking.

You don’t stop it. You navigate it.

Therapy won’t switch off your anxiety. But the right approach can loosen its grip on your days so the alarm answers to reality, not catastrophe.

New York therapists know New York anxiety.

Our clinicians live in the same city you do. We know the 2am replay, the Sunday-night dread, the chest that tightens on a crowded train platform. You don't have to explain what this city does to a nervous system. We already know. We start there.

Taking the angst out of starting.

Getting help is something anxiety tends to delay. That’s why we give you a Care Coordinator to hold your hand through the whole process. One human to help you with paperwork, scheduling, insurance, billing, finding a therapist, and more.

A Dedicated Care Coordinator

The first hello

One person picks up, takes down your details, and learns what kind of anxiety you’re struggling with.

Finding a match

That same person matches you with a therapist who not only treats anxiety, but fits your age, gender, persona.

Handling headaches

Insurance, billing, rebooking, a change of therapist if needed, all handled by one point-of-contact.

Never out of reach

From solving problems to checking on your progress, your Care Coordinator always stays by your side.

Anxiety doesn’t have to run the show.

Instead of fighting your anxiety, you can learn to listen to it differently, and choose new ways to respond.
