Move beyond racing thoughts, stress, and constant worry
Anxiety is a normal part of life—but when it becomes overwhelming, persistent, or disruptive, it’s time to seek support. If you’re struggling with constant worry, racing thoughts, or unexplained physical symptoms, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to manage it on your own
When anxiety becomes a problem
Everyone experiences stress and nervousness from time to time. But anxiety becomes a clinical concern when it interferes with daily life, relationships, work, or school. You may feel like your mind never stops, constantly looping through worst-case scenarios or becoming fixated on small details. You might feel physically unwell—with headaches, stomach aches, a pounding heart, or shortness of breath—but medical tests don’t provide answers. Perhaps you've avoided certain situations or social interactions out of fear. Or maybe you’ve had panic attacks so intense that you've wondered if you were dying. These experiences can be confusing, isolating, and frightening—but they are treatable.
Common symptoms of Anxiety
Anxiety can affect the body, mind, and emotions. If these symptoms are affecting your ability to function or enjoy life, therapy can help you find relief and reclaim control.
- Persistent worry or racing thoughts
- Difficulty concentrating or feeling “on edge”
- Restlessness, agitation, or irritability
- Sleep problems (difficulty falling or staying asleep)
- Rapid heartbeat, chest tightness, or shortness of breath
- Nausea, digestive issues, or frequent stomach discomfort
- Muscle tension, trembling, or fatigue
- Avoidance of people, places, or tasks that feel overwhelming
What causes Anxiety?
Anxiety disorders develop from a mix of factors—there is no single cause. Contributing influences may include
- Chronic stress (work, finances, relationships)
- Traumatic experiences (past or recent)
- Family history of anxiety or other mental health conditions
- Medical conditions or hormonal imbalances
- Learned patterns from early life or family systems
