Anxiety Treatment
Has Anxiety Gotten In The Way Of Your Happiness?
Does it seem like you second-guess all of your decisions because you constantly doubt yourself? Do you often feel so emotionally overwhelmed that even everyday tasks and responsibilities are too much to handle? Are excessive, unrealistic worries holding you back from living your life to the fullest?
Sustained feelings of anxiety can have adverse effects on many different aspects of your health. Some days, you may experience a rapid heartbeat, upset stomach, migraines, or tension in your muscles and joints. Other days, anxiety may affect you more on a psychological level–you may isolate yourself and avoid social situations because you’re constantly worried about the worst-case scenario. You’re probably frustrated because, try as you might, you simply don’t have the tools needed to deal with these symptoms alone. Anxiety can affect you in many different ways. Anxiety is a human experience that helps us indicate danger and protect ourselves from harm. However, without proper treatment, an anxiety disorder can hold you back in various ways with symptoms often manifesting as:
- Obsessive Or Ritualistic Behavior
- Self-Consciousness
- Bodily Tension
- Fear of Embarrassment
- Numbness In The Limbs
- Irrational Fears Or Excessive Worry
- Panic Attacks
If anxiety has taken a toll on your life, you probably just want to find a way to function throughout the day and not worry about every little thing that happens. Therapy at Winding Roads Counseling will help you discover the strength to stop questioning yourself and start living your life with more confidence, courage, and happiness.
Everyone Deals With Anxiety In One Way Or Another
Our brains are naturally hard-wired to experience fear, worry, and distress whenever we face a dilemma, but when this sense of unease lingers, it may feel as if these emotions are taking over your life, making it challenging to overcome them on your own.
Although anxiety is extremely common, you may still feel the need to conceal your emotions. This is because anxiety has a way of making you avoid challenging situations—and oftentimes it may feel easier to hold in your emotions rather than talk about them. The truth is that repressing these distressing feelings without the means of releasing them in a healthy manner can create new issues or worsen existing issues.
Even though you may feel alone in your battle, you’re not. Anxiety disorders are actually the most common of all mental health disorders, affecting nearly 30% of adults at some point in their lives. Some common causes for anxiety include:
● Financial Stressors
● Relationship Problems
● Community Violence
● COVID-19 Pandemic
● Occupational Success/Achievements
● Living Up To Familial Expectations
● Genetics
Anyone can encounter symptoms of anxiety disorder, which is why treatment with an experienced counselor is so important. It can help you determine your triggers and figure out ways to manage your stress whenever it feels unbearable. At Winding Roads Counseling, we will work alongside you to reframe your mindset so that you can move forward with a newer, calmer lease on life.

Therapy At Winding Roads Counseling Can Offer The Treatment You Need To Enhance Your Peace And Manage Your Anxiety
You may avoid discussing your emotions with your friends and family because you don’t want to add any strain to their hectic lives. Or perhaps you feel that everybody disregards your fears and worries as unimportant, so you’d rather just keep them to yourself.
Counseling offers you an opportunity to explore these fears and worries, as well as your hopes and dreams, in a safe space free of shame or judgment. You will be offered tools to cope with your anxiety so that you can manage and find true healing from the symptoms that weigh you down. Our therapists at Winding Roads Counseling aim to meet you where you are and guide you on your path toward mental peace. We will begin with an intake assessment to determine the therapist that best suits your goals for anxiety treatment. Once paired with one of our specialized counselors, we will work with you to tailor treatment so that we can target the areas of your anxiety that hold you back. There are a few different approaches that we typically use:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): teaches you techniques and strategies to create new ways of thinking that challenge anxious thoughts and beliefs
- Solution Focused Therapy: emphasizes the use of coping mechanisms and addressing feelings of anxiety by providing insight on how to identify, solve, and act on the issues caused by symptoms
- Motivational Interviewing: empowers you with internal insight and wisdom through a series of active listening exercises that help you establish self- awareness and autonomy in your life
No matter which treatment method we use, we will explore the situations and somatic symptoms that directly relate to your anxiety. In figuring out the causes behind these anxious thoughts and feelings, we can develop plans to put into action so that you can find relief, even outside of sessions. We are confident that treatment with our specialized counselors can help reduce anxiety and improve your overall happiness and livelihood. If you’re tired of battling anxiety alone and ready to feel supported in managing your symptoms, then therapy at Winding Roads Counseling can give you the tools you need to find sustained, mental stability and peace.
You May Be Thinking About Getting Anxiety Treatment, But Still Have Some Questions…
You may feel like anxiety symptoms have taken over your life for far too long. This is why our therapists here at Winding Roads Counseling strive to help guide you through the situations that give you anxiety as well as provide you with the skills to help reduce and manage symptoms whenever they arise.
Each session will offer you new opportunities to find true insight about how your experiences are connected to your anxiety. Since treatment is tailored to best suit your needs, you will have a safe space to feel supported and comforted—no matter what you’re going through.
How long will anxiety treatment take before I feel better?
Most of our clients report feeling relief within the first few sessions, if not immediately. However, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to treating anxiety because every individual is affected by it in their own way.
In therapy, our counselors strive to help you challenge your anxiety so that you can cope with it in healthy ways that continue pushing you forward—instead of holding you back.
How will I afford anxiety therapy?
At Winding Roads Counseling, we will work to figure out which financial plan best suits you. While we accept almost all commercial insurances, if you require out-of-network benefits, we will assist in submitting the paperwork needed for your insurer to reimburse you. We want to make the financial aspect as seamless as possible. This way, your sole focus can be on improving your mental well-being.
