I'm here to tell you how therapy can help with anxiety. Sometimes, anxiety can feel like a big, scary monster that won't leave you alone. But guess what? You don't have to face it alone!
When you come to therapy, you get to talk to someone who really listens and understands. That's me, your therapist. I'm like a guide, here to help you navigate through the stormy seas of anxiety.
Together, we'll figure out what triggers your anxiety and come up with ways to tame it. Sometimes, just talking about your feelings can make them feel lighter. Other times, we might try relaxation techniques, like deep breathing or mindfulness exercises, to help calm your mind.
I'll also teach you strategies to challenge those anxious thoughts that keep popping up. We'll work on changing your perspective so you can see things in a more positive light.
And remember, progress takes time. It's like planting a seed and watching it grow. With each session, you'll get stronger and more confident in facing your fears.

Sarah Epstein
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
My clients who suffer from anxiety try to manage it by over-exerting themselves, being perpetually "productive", and avoiding quiet moments where their thoughts start to overwhelm them. We find new ways of working through that anxiety and get to the root of it.

South Psychology
Psychologist, PhD
South Psychology, based in Centennial, Colorado, specializes in providing evidence-based mental health therapy for individuals dealing with anxiety or fears. Their skilled clinicians employ a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and exposure and response prevention (ERP). Let’s delve into the details:
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP): ERP is a powerful technique used to treat anxiety disorders, particularly obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It aims to gradually reduce anxiety by exposing individuals to triggering stimuli or thoughts in a safe and controlled environment. Through repeated exposure, people become less physiologically aroused by these triggers, leading to habituation. The response prevention component teaches clients not to give in to compulsive behaviors, ultimately breaking the cycle of anxiety and avoidance.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): South Psychology integrates CBT principles to help clients understand and manage their anxious thoughts. By identifying cognitive distortions and challenging irrational beliefs, individuals learn healthier coping strategies. CBT equips them with practical tools to navigate anxiety-inducing situations, improve emotional regulation, and enhance overall well-being.
Optimizing Functioning: Beyond symptom reduction, South Psychology focuses on optimizing various aspects of life. Whether it’s excelling in school, advancing in a career, or nurturing social connections, their approach aims to empower clients to thrive despite anxiety or fears.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
I have been treating anxiety symptoms for many years. Therefore, it's an area in which I have particular experience. You and I will examine the component parts of your symptoms such as emotions, behaviors, and thoughts. We’ll then examine how these parts are connected and how they impact each other. I’ll help you create changes to one or more of these parts to achieve your desired symptom relief. Helping people break free from their anxiety is one of the primary reasons I became a psychologist.
