Yes, therapy can be deeply supportive for anxiety. Our work focuses on helping you better understand yourself and learn how to support your nervous system with more care and compassion. Rather than pushing through or trying to “get rid of” anxiety, we move slowly and intentionally, helping your body shift out of constant alert and into a greater sense of safety.

Over time, this creates space for your nervous system to soften, your reactions to feel more manageable, and your inner world to feel steadier. Many clients find that as their body learns it is safe, anxiety naturally loosens its grip and the changes feel sustainable, not forced.

Rather than trying to get rid of anxiety, we approach it as something to understand and support. Anxiety is often a sign that your nervous system has been living in a state of protection for a long time. When it feels listened to and cared for, it no longer needs to work as hard.

Through therapy, you learn how to respond to anxiety with curiosity instead of urgency, and with compassion instead of self-criticism. As your body begins to experience more moments of safety, anxiety naturally softens. For many people, this shift feels less like “getting rid of” anxiety and more like no longer being controlled by it.

If anxiety or depression is affecting your daily life, relationships, work, or overall well-being, therapy can help. Signs you might benefit from therapy for anxiety and depression include:

• Persistent worry, racing thoughts, or feeling on edge

• Low energy, loss of interest, or difficulty finding motivation

• Sleep disturbances or changes in appetite

• Difficulty concentrating or making decisions

• Physical symptoms like tension, fatigue, or restlessness

• Feeling stuck in cycles despite trying to change on your own

A therapist for anxiety and depression can help you understand what's happening and develop effective coping strategies.

Trauma-informed therapy is an approach that understands how experiences, especially chronic stress or overwhelm, shape the nervous system, not just thoughts or behaviors. It is sometimes described as nervous-system-informed therapy because the focus is on helping your body feel safer, more stable, and less overwhelmed.

This type of therapy does not rush you or push you to revisit experiences before you are ready. Instead, it prioritizes pacing, choice, and stabilization, helping your nervous system settle before asking it to do deeper work.

As your body begins to feel more supported, you also gain insight into yourself and the protective responses you may have developed over time. This can look like avoiding conflict, people pleasing, shutting down, or losing your temper more quickly when you feel overwhelmed. Rather than judging these patterns, we focus on understanding why they developed and how they once helped you cope.

When safety and understanding come first, healing tends to unfold in a way that feels steady, respectful, and sustainable, allowing new responses to emerge naturally.

There is no single “best” therapy for PTSD, because healing is not one size fits all. What matters most is working in a way that feels safe, attuned, and respectful of your nervous system. PTSD often develops when the body has been overwhelmed and did not have the support it needed at the time. Effective therapy focuses on helping your body regain a sense of safety and stability before moving into deeper processing.

Rather than rushing to revisit traumatic experiences, this work moves at a pace your system can tolerate. As your nervous system begins to feel more supported, symptoms like hypervigilance, emotional reactivity, shutdown, or intrusive memories often become less intense and less disruptive.

Many people find that when therapy prioritizes nervous system safety, self understanding, and choice, healing feels more sustainable and empowering. Over time, the trauma no longer defines your inner world, and you are able to relate to your experiences with more steadiness, clarity, and self trust.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy, often called ART, is a gentle, evidence based trauma therapy that helps the brain and body process distressing experiences without needing to relive them in detail. ART works with the way the nervous system stores memories, allowing overwhelming or stuck experiences to be reprocessed in a way that feels safer and more contained.

During ART, we focus on helping your body stay grounded and regulated while your brain naturally updates how memories are stored. Many people notice that memories feel less emotionally charged, less intrusive, or no longer have the same physical response attached to them.

ART is often experienced as supportive and empowering rather than intense. It respects pacing, does not require you to talk through every detail of what happened, and allows healing to unfold in a way that feels steady, contained, and nervous system informed.

Somatic therapy is an approach that focuses on the connection between the body, the nervous system, and emotional experience. It is based on the understanding that stress, trauma, and overwhelm are often held in the body, not just in our thoughts or memories.

Rather than relying only on talking, somatic therapy helps you gently tune into bodily sensations, patterns, and responses. This might include noticing tension, breath, impulses, or subtle shifts in your body. By bringing awareness to these signals, your nervous system can begin to release stored stress and move toward a greater sense of safety and balance.

The work is slow, intentional, and supportive. You are never pushed to go beyond what feels manageable. Over time, many people find that as their body learns it is safe, emotional reactions feel less overwhelming, and there is a deeper sense of steadiness, presence, and self trust in everyday life.

Internal Family Systems, often referred to as IFS, is a parts-based approach to therapy. Parts work itself has been part of psychotherapy for decades, long before it was formally named or organized into a specific model. At its core, this approach helps you understand the different aspects of yourself that show up in daily life, especially during moments of stress, conflict, or overwhelm.

In parts-based work, these “parts” are not viewed as problems or symptoms to eliminate. They are protective responses that developed over time to help you cope, stay safe, or navigate difficult experiences. You might notice parts of you that people please, avoid conflict, push through exhaustion, shut down, or react quickly when you feel overwhelmed.

This work emphasizes curiosity and understanding rather than judgment. As you begin to understand why these patterns exist and what they are trying to protect, your nervous system often becomes less reactive and more regulated.

Over time, parts-based therapy supports greater internal clarity, self compassion, and choice, allowing you to respond to life with more steadiness and less automatic reactivity.

Grief counseling is a supportive form of therapy that helps you navigate loss in a way that honors your unique experience. Grief is not something to “get over” or move through on a fixed timeline. It is a natural response to loss, change, and separation, and it often shows up in both emotional and physical ways.

In grief counseling, we focus on creating a steady, compassionate space where your nervous system can feel supported as you process what has been lost. This work allows room for the full range of grief responses, including sadness, anger, numbness, relief, confusion, or moments of peace, without judgment or pressure to feel a certain way.

Over time, grief counseling can help you better understand your experience, feel less alone with it, and find ways to carry your grief with more steadiness and self compassion. For many people, healing does not mean forgetting or moving on, but learning how to integrate loss into their life while still making space for meaning, connection, and moments of ease.
