Anxiety Treatment in Katy, TX

Do you lay down to sleep at night only to find your mind runs away with the to do list for tomorrow and all of the things that didn’t happen or go as planned during the day? Are you drowning in a sea of commitments, responsibilities and worry? Maybe you’re tired of feeling frustrated, overwhelmed and stuck. Would you like to feel more in control of yourself and how you respond to the things that stress you out?

Counseling for anxiety can help you feel better and more in control again.

My clients often come to me for anxiety treatment when they feel like they’re at their wits end. They are often perfectionists, high achievers, problem solvers and caregivers in most aspects of their life, and are sometimes reaching out for help for the first time. Counseling for anxiety helps by creating space for naming what’s working and what isn’t. Working with a counselor for anxiety can help you fix the things that feel broken or start from scratch to come up with a new plan to address and manage the things contributing to distress and discontent. With treatment, you can overcome anxiety and live the life you deserve.

Signs you may have an anxiety disorder are:

Panic attacks (also described as anxiety attacks sometimes)
Shortness of breath or racing heart beat without a medical reason
A skin crawling sensation or feeling jittery
Feeling constantly on edge
Pain or tightness in your chest without a medical explanation
Frequent stomach, back, chest or neck aches
Overwhelming worry and a sense of doom
Eating too much or too little
Excessive anger or irritability (sometimes described as having a very short fuse)
Believing the worst will happen
Feeling intense guilt or shame
Unwanted intrusive, scary or negative thoughts
Feeling little or no interest in things, inability to experience joy when you otherwise would

So you see yourself reflected in the list of symptoms above. Now what? You can choose to acknowledge that you may want or need help, and continue on your way, going about the business of your life in exactly the same manner, hoping things will eventually change for the better on their own. Or you can stop, slow down, see where you can carve out an hour of time for yourself and start to actively create the change you want.

Anxiety therapy is about more than just learning to “relax.” It’s about problem solving and getting creative to figure out how to implement coping skills and strategies that will actually benefit you and helping you create and implement changes in how you respond to the things contributing to your anxiety. Counseling for anxiety is an investment of your time, money and trust but it’s not forever. The length of time my clients participate in counseling is different for each person, and I trust you to tell me when you’re done.

Finding a Counselor for Anxiety

Choosing the right counselor for your needs is vital to successful anxiety treatment. My clients trust me to show up fully for them, and to give them honest, sometimes hard to hear feedback when necessary. If you’re looking for a blank slate who will politely smile and nod, you won’t find it here. If you’re looking for someone to wave a magic wand and fix all of your problems, I don’t have one. But if you’re looking for someone to sit in the messiness of your life with you and try to help you make some sense of it, I’d love to be your person. Give me a call, shoot me an e-mail or send me a text when you’re ready to get started.
