Anxiety Therapy in Asheville, NC
Find Relief From Anxiety
Constant worry doesn't have to control your life. Evidence-based therapy can help you find calm and confidence again.
Is Anxiety Running Your Life?
- ✓ Racing thoughts that won't quiet down, especially at night
- ✓ Physical symptoms like tension, rapid heartbeat, or stomach issues
- ✓ Avoiding situations because they might trigger anxiety
- ✓ Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- ✓ Constant "what if" thinking about the future
- ✓ Feeling on edge or irritable much of the time
- ✓ Panic attacks that seem to come out of nowhere
- ✓ Exhaustion from constantly being in fight-or-flight mode
These experiences are more common than you might think. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, anxiety disorders affect an estimated 31.1% of U.S. adults at some point in their lives (NIMH, 2023). The good news: anxiety is highly treatable, and you don't have to figure it out alone.
How I Help With Anxiety
I use proven therapeutic approaches tailored to your specific needs
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
CBT helps you identify and change the thought patterns that fuel anxiety. Research published in Cognitive Therapy and Research shows CBT produces clinically significant improvement in 50-75% of anxiety patients (Hofmann et al., 2012). You'll learn practical skills to challenge worried thinking and respond differently to anxious feelings.
Somatic Approaches
Anxiety lives in the body as much as the mind. We'll work with nervous system regulation, breathing techniques, and body awareness to help you feel grounded and calm.
Exposure Therapy
For specific fears or panic, gradual exposure helps you build confidence and prove to your nervous system that you can handle what you've been avoiding.
