Anxiety therapy that addresses both mind and body

 

Many people try to “think their way out” of anxiety with more logic, more productivity, and more control, only to find it keeps coming back. Anxiety is not just a thought problem. It can also be a nervous-system pattern: your body stays on alert, scanning for what could go wrong, even when nothing is immediately wrong.

In therapy, we look at the full picture: the beliefs and pressures that drive worry, the emotional themes underneath, and the patterns that keep your system activated. The goal isn’t to become a different person. It’s to feel steadier, clearer, and more able to respond to life without anxiety running the show.

Signs it may be time to seek help

 

You might benefit from anxiety therapy if you notice:

• Persistent worry that’s hard to turn off
• Overthinking and second-guessing decisions
• Difficulty relaxing during downtime
• Sleep disruption from racing thoughts
• Physical symptoms (tight chest, tension, headaches, stomach discomfort)
• Irritability or feeling “on edge”
• Avoidance of situations because they feel too draining or overwhelming
• Perfectionism or fear of making mistakes that limits your life

 What we work on in anxiety therapy

Therapy at MindWell often includes:

• Identifying the worry loops and performance pressures that keep anxiety active
• Strengthening emotion regulation skills for moments of overwhelm
• Shifting patterns like perfectionism, people-pleasing, and self-criticism
• Understanding relational dynamics that increase anxiety (e.g., work, family, partnerships)
• Building boundaries and decision-making confidence
• Creating sustainable practices for stress management and recovery

We move at a pace that feels safe, collaborative, and effective, balancing deeper insight with practical tools that support meaningful change.
