Anxiety Treatment

Anxiety is more than worrying too much. It's a whole-body experience involving your thoughts, emotions, nervous system, and behavior. When anxiety takes hold, your mind constantly scans for danger, anticipates worst-case scenarios, and keeps you stuck in fight-or-flight long after any real threat has passed. At Restored Family Counseling, we go beyond surface-level symptom management to address the root causes of your anxiety and equip you with lasting tools for change.

Anxiety takes many forms: generalized worry that won't quiet down, social anxiety that makes interactions feel threatening, panic attacks that strike without warning, health anxiety, perfectionism, or phobias that shrink your world. Whatever form yours takes, effective treatment is available.

Our therapists tailor treatment to your specific needs using evidence-based approaches. CBT helps you identify and challenge the thought patterns fueling your anxiety: catastrophizing, overestimating danger, underestimating your ability to cope. ACT helps you develop a new relationship with anxious thoughts rather than fighting them, building psychological flexibility so you can take values-aligned action even when anxiety is present. Exposure therapy gradually and systematically helps you face feared situations, teaching your nervous system that you can tolerate discomfort. Mindfulness practices help you observe anxiety without being swept away by it.

We also address the physical side of anxiety: breathwork to activate your parasympathetic nervous system, grounding exercises to anchor you in the present, and somatic awareness to help you recognize and release tension. By addressing anxiety from both cognitive and physiological angles, you build a comprehensive toolkit for lasting regulation.
