Anxiety Therapy

IS ANXIETY BLOCKING YOUR BEST LIFE?
Let’s figure it out, together.

Have you ever felt like anxious thoughts and feelings make it hard to get through the day?

Do you find yourself struggling to focus at work because you’re always stressed or worried?

Are there times when you feel so tired or overwhelmed that handling responsibilities at home seems impossible?

When you’re battling constant anxious thoughts, it can create tension in your relationships with family, friends, or your partner. And lately, you’ve probably noticed anxiety isn’t just affecting your mind—it’s taking a toll on your body too.

Perhaps your experiences and overall well-being are leading you to consider anxiety therapy more and more, making it feel like an increasingly appealing option.

Anxiety Doesn’t Just Affect You On A Psychological Level

With all of the pressures of life, you’re probably feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and worried all the time. Maybe you’re going through:

• Irritability or feeling emotionally drained
• Difficulty balancing work and personal life
• Feeling disconnected from loved ones or struggling with communication
• Inability to enjoy activities you once loved
• Social withdrawal or feeling alone, even in the presence of others

One of the most damaging and subtle effects of anxiety is its ability to undermine your physical well-being. You could be experiencing trouble sleeping, a change in eating habits, headaches, or constantly feeling low on energy.

TJK Counseling and Consulting Services can offer you the opportunity to make sense of your anxiety symptoms, build confidence, and feel more at peace in your day-to-day life. By gaining support, you will learn that change takes time, but it is possible.

You’re Not Alone—Anxiety Is Something Many People Face

Stress and anxiety are incredibly common, yet many people feel like they should deal with them on their own. The demands of modern life, along with specific stressors, can significantly amplify anxious thoughts and feelings, making it even more challenging to manage alone.

It’s easy to struggle with overcoming these feelings because we often don’t know how to dig into the root causes. Too many of us focus on quick fixes instead of addressing the deeper, long-term solutions. Society often pressures us to keep pushing through and avoid showing vulnerability, making it tough to reach out for help.

Finding Balance In A High-Stress World

In today’s fast-paced world, there are so many factors that contribute to stress and anxiety. High workplace demands and the constant pressure to succeed can leave many people feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, and burnt out.

Social media often sets unrealistic standards for what success, relationships, and appearance should resemble, which can intensify feelings of inadequacy and stir up self-doubt. Moreover, financial pressures, particularly around homeownership or maintaining a certain kind of lifestyle, only add to the burden.

Family responsibilities—like balancing work with parenting or caring for aging relatives—can also be major stressors. Sometimes, these responsibilities can feel like too much to handle all at once.

On top of this, the societal stigma surrounding mental health can make it harder for people to seek the help they truly need, often delaying their ability to address these struggles and move on to living a more balanced, fulfilling lifestyle.

Anxiety Therapy Can Help You Fit The Puzzle Pieces Of Your Life Back Together Again

Anxiety therapy provides a safe, supportive space where you can openly talk about your worries, thoughts, and struggles without the fear of judgment. It’s an environment where you’ll find understanding, compassion, and a therapist with a genuine desire to help you move past your anxiety and experience positive change.

I help clients explore and understand the underlying causes of their stress and anxiety, working together to identify patterns in thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By examining how these challenges impact daily life and relationships, we can develop practical tools and strategies to manage symptoms and handle life’s obstacles more effectively.

Our focus is on what you want to achieve—whether it’s improving relationships, reducing stress, or finding a sense of balance. These goals are adjusted as progress unfolds. I approach therapy like a puzzle, working alongside you to piece things together and help you make sense of your journey.

The TJK Approach To Anxiety Therapy

To help get to the root of your anxiety and heal from symptoms of stress, I utilize a blend of anxiety treatment methods:

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

Anxiety is often a symptom of trauma, and EMDR therapy helps uncover the root causes of that anxiety. The process involves eight phases that thoroughly explore past experiences and their impact on your current feelings and responses. Trauma can sit in our unconscious, triggering reactions you may not understand. EMDR helps us determine whether you’re responding to a present situation or something from the past, offering insight into how these triggers affect your anxiety and helping you heal from the inside out.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT focuses on how your thoughts shape your feelings and actions. It’s about understanding that your mindset directly influences how you feel and respond. We’ll explore why you think the way you do and challenge any unhelpful thoughts. Together, we’ll work on seeing situations from a different perspective and reframe your thoughts in a way that supports your overall well-being.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)

ART is an evidence-based treatment that uses back-and-forth eye movements to help people struggling with anxiety. Although both ART and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) use eye movements, ART is a faster approach, specifically designed to provide quick relief for clients in need.
