Online therapy for anxiety in New York
Find peace and regain confidence.
It feels like the worrying just never ends.
Thoughts that never seem to stop, constant overthinking and indecision, and feeling overwhelmed even by small tasks can leave you feeling disconnected, unexcited, and unfulfilled. It can stop you from trying new things or enjoying some of the things you love. It makes life so much harder than it has to be.
You may notice your mind keeps drifting to all the things that could go wrong. Your health, or a loved one’s health, might be taking over a lot of your thoughts. That interaction you had with someone last week keeps playing over and over again in your head.
You’re overthinking every action or decision—worrying you’ll make the “wrong” choice.
Maybe you’re doubting your self-worth or abilities, and you’re worried about how you’ll be perceived.
Maybe you find yourself avoiding going for that job or promotion you really want, or on the other side even overextending yourself so you can be sure you get it. But even when you do get it, you don’t feel settled and you struggle to fully enjoy the success because you worry you’ll screw it up. Compliments and positive feedback don’t feel as helpful as you’d hope because you keep wondering, “What if I can’t keep this up?”
Anxiety is a normal part of being human. But when it becomes chronic it can feel all-consuming.
It can stop us from enjoying the exciting aspects of life, achieving our personal or professional goals, and feeling comfortable in our own skin. It can make us feel like we always need to be “on” and in control.
You don’t have to keep avoiding or downplaying how intense it feels–in fact, that’s only prolonging your suffering.
We can change your relationship with anxiety, so that it doesn’t have to dictate your life or your happiness anymore. You can learn to turn down the volume on those thoughts and let your body relax. You can finally start feeling empowered in your own life.
