Living with Anxiety Feels Exhausting — But You Don’t Have to Do It Alone

Is it hard to relax with racing thoughts constantly running through your mind? Do you find it difficult to fall asleep — or stay asleep — because you keep replaying the events of the day? Maybe you wake up already overwhelmed by everything you need to do.

You may feel disconnected from your body, off balance, and afraid of disappointing others. Life feels heavy, and you don’t feel like the happy or relaxed version of yourself you used to know. You might isolate yourself or pull away from people because you absorb every anxiety trigger around you. Worst-case scenarios play on repeat in your mind.

The good news: anxiety is highly treatable, and the right therapist can help you feel better.

“With the right support, you can regain command of your anxiety and use it in a way that helps you instead of holding you back.”

You're Not Alone

Anxiety is the most common mental health condition in the United States, affecting approximately 18.1% of the population. It’s also one of the top reasons people seek therapy.

Our fast-paced lifestyle keeps us rushing from one task to the next without time to reset. Social media doesn’t help — comparing your reality to carefully curated highlight reels can make you feel “less than,” and that pressure fuels anxiety.

What Actually Helps Anxiety?

Here’s the encouraging news: anxiety is one of the most treatable mental health concerns.

Medication and Therapy: A Powerful Combination

Research shows that anxiety often improves fastest when therapy and medication work together:

  • Medication helps calm your nervous system and reduce physical symptoms.

  • Therapy teaches long-term skills that help you respond differently to stress.

Medication gives your brain enough space to learn and use new tools, while therapy gives you strategies that reduce the need for medication over time. Many people benefit from one or the other — but for persistent anxiety, the combination is especially effective.

How Therapy Helps with Anxiety

Therapy doesn’t just help you cope — it helps you reduce anxiety at the source.

Our approach integrates research-backed methods such as:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Somatic interventions

Imagine waking up and feeling ready for your day — not because anxiety magically disappears, but because you know how to work with it.

Picture completing a work project and feeling proud, rather than spiraling into self-doubt. Imagine attending your child’s events and actually being present instead of living in your head. Think about going to a social gathering and enjoying yourself without replaying every word afterward.

This is what’s possible when anxiety no longer runs your life.

How Medication Helps

Medication targets the physical symptoms of anxiety:

  • Racing heart

  • Tight chest

  • Persistent dread

  • Sleep issues

  • Intrusive thoughts

It stabilizes your nervous system so you can think clearly, rest better, and have the bandwidth to do the deeper therapeutic work.

If anxiety is at a 9 out of 10, it’s hard to practice coping strategies. Medication can bring that down to a 5 or 6 — giving you space to heal.
