Therapy for Anxiety

Anxiety is a part of the human experience. It is a natural response to stress or a perceived threat, and it can often leave you with feelings of unease, fear, or worry. It's normal to feel anxious before an important event, like a job interview or a big exam, but for some people, anxiety becomes a constant. When this happens, it may interfere with daily life, relationships, and mental health and wellbeing.

What can anxiety feel like?

Do you ever feel like your heart is racing?

You can’t sleep at night because your thought’s just keep going and going?

Maybe you feel overwhelmed, restless or constantly worried…

And then you find yourself avoiding certain situations or tasks, withdrawing, and imagining worst-case scenarios…

You might be experiencing anxiety.

Anxiety does not define you.

Your anxiety is not you. You can learn to understand and cope with your anxiety, and live a meaningful, beautiful life.

How Can Therapy Help?

Summit Therapy can help you receive treatment and support for your anxiety in-person at our Denver office or virtually whether you’re in Boulder, Colorado Springs, or elsewhere in Colorado.

Therapy offers tools and support to help you manage anxiety. Together we can:

  • Understand Anxiety: We will work together to not only understand your anxiety, but also offer compassion towards this part of you. We will explore the root causes of your anxiety, identify patterns and triggers.

  • Build Coping Strategies: Through techniques and coping skills, you'll learn to understand your own thought patterns, stories, and experiences with anxiety, and you will develop healthier ways to cope. Mindfulness practices, grounding techniques, and exploring anxiety as a part of you can all be useful tools.

  • Break the Cycle: Anxiety can feel like a never-ending cycle of worry. Together we will identify triggers, explore avoidant behaviors and work together on breaking the cycle. Therapy can help create a safe space to address and challenge your fears. Over time, this process can help you regain confidence and reduce the impact that anxiety has on your life.
