Sara E Roth
Counselor/Therapist, Ph.D., IMFT-S, LPCC, EMDR Certified Therapist, EFT Trained Therapist
Are you overwhelmed, stressed out, and unhappy? Does it feel like no matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to be happy? Are you struggling with feeling sad and anxious all the time?
Many individuals experience some variation of anxiety or anxious symptoms. Some people have managed their symptoms and it hasn’t been an issue; until it is. The question is how debilitating it is, how it is handled and resolved.
You can expect that therapy will include an exploration to understand the specific symptoms you experience as well as a timeline of the onset of symptoms. It may be something you remember being a problem from since day 1, or it may have started following a difficult time in your life, where it was overwhelming and stressful to cope with day to day life. We will work to uncover the source of the thoughts that lead you to feel the way you do.
Oftentimes, you may also be experiencing what feels like depression, which it might be. Sometimes though, anxious feelings can actually propel and create depressive symptoms. You may also be experiencing difficulty with your self-esteem. Self-esteem affects relationships, motivation, and often is a significant symptom in individuals with anxiety and depression.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidenced based treatment which explores the connection between thoughts, feelings and behavior. We can rewire the brain and disconnect from having a negative default setting, and create new pathways with positive self-talk and specific steps to reach your goals. Many of my clients share that they have been able to feel a significant shift in their mindset through utilizing CBT and clearly state that therapy has changed their life.

Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
"Anxiety is actually a normal part of life and can be helpful at moderate levels, providing motivation to push you to achieve more, or providing a warning to avoid a bad or dangerous situation. However, many people experience such high anxiety levels that they feel distressed, and the anxiety interferes with their functioning. Therapy can help you learn to manage and reduce your anxiety so it no longer distresses you. Paying attention to habits, thoughts, beliefs, and feelings related to anxiety can help people greatly reduce the negative impact of anxiety. I use a holistic approach with psychodynamic underpinnings to help you to identify beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and habits that contribute to your anxiety, and then make changes to reduce and manage your anxiety.
