Therapy for Anxiety
The word “anxiety” gets thrown around a lot these days, and it looks different for everyone. We view anxiety as any number of symptoms, including:
Feeling like your mind never shuts off, making it difficult to be present
Overthinking decisions and second-guessing yourself
Constantly replaying conversations in your head, wondering if you said the "wrong" thing
Struggling to relax, even during downtime
Needing constant reassurance that people aren't upset with you
Putting everyone else's needs first, leaving little time or energy to care for yourself
Getting stuck in a cycle of worry and overthinking
Expecting worst-case scenarios
If you are sick of feeling so wound up or depleted, we can provide a space to explore the relationship you have with your thoughts and identify helpful tools.
We provide therapy for anxiety in Boston (in person) and throughout MA & CT (virtually).

Anxiety therapy is a space to understand what your anxiety is trying to communicate not a place where you have to simply “get rid of” your feelings. We’ll help you explore patterns that keep anxiety feeling overwhelming while building new ways to respond with more compassion, confidence, and flexibility. Therapy can help you feel more grounded in your relationships, more connected to yourself, and less controlled by worry, fear, or the need to constantly be “doing enough.”
You don’t have to navigate anxiety alone. A supportive therapeutic relationship can provide a place to feel understood, make sense of your experiences, and practice showing up in your life with greater ease.

You don’t have to wait until anxiety feels unmanageable to seek support. Therapy can be helpful when worry, fear, or stress starts taking up more space than you’d like. You might consider therapy if you find yourself feeling stuck in patterns that are hard to change, avoiding things that matter to you because of anxiety, or feeling like your mind is always working overtime.
You deserve support even if your anxiety doesn’t feel “bad enough.” If something is getting in the way of feeling connected, confident, or at ease in your life, therapy can help.

Our practice uses evidence-based approaches, including exposure therapy, to help you build a different relationship with anxiety. Anxiety often tells us to avoid situations, feelings, or experiences that feel uncomfortable — and while avoidance can bring short-term relief, it can also teach your brain that those things are dangerous or unmanageable.
Through exposure therapy, we gently and collaboratively practice approaching the thoughts, feelings, situations, or experiences that anxiety has encouraged you to avoid. The goal is not to force yourself to “just get over it” or eliminate anxiety completely, but to help you learn that you can handle discomfort, uncertainty, and difficult emotions without anxiety being in control.
