Maybe you can’t switch your brain off at night, or your chest tightens before every work call. Anxiety is very common, and feeling this way doesn’t mean something is wrong with you.
In anxiety therapy, you and your therapist look at what sets off your worry and what keeps it going. Together, you practice ways to feel steadier during the moments that are hardest right now.
Visits are available at our Scottsdale office. Some of our therapists also offer secure video for clients located in Arizona, New York, or Hawaii. You don’t need a diagnosis to reach out.
If you’re thinking about suicide, call or text 988. If you’re in immediate danger, call 911.
Some worry is a normal part of life. It may be time to talk with a therapist when anxiety shows up most days or starts to affect your sleep, work, or relationships. You might notice signs like these.
Any of these is reason enough to call. On a free 15-minute phone consultation, you can share what’s been happening and ask any questions you have.
Anxiety can look different from person to person. Stress is related, but it's often tied to something specific, like a work deadline or a move. It may ease once that situation changes. Our therapists help adults with both.
Concerns adults bring to us include these.
Ongoing worry about many parts of life
Panic attacks
Social anxiety or a fear of being judged
Fears of specific things, such as flying or driving
Stress from work, health, or major life changes
If you also have unwanted thoughts or feel driven to repeat certain actions, our OCD counseling page explains that support.
Your therapist will choose an approach with you based on what you're dealing with and what feels right. Many adults work with one or more of these.
In cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), you learn to notice anxious thoughts and check them against the facts.
In exposure therapy, you and your therapist plan small steps toward things you've been avoiding.
With mindfulness, you practice staying present when your body feels tense or your thoughts speed up.
EMDR therapy may help when anxiety connects to a difficult memory or past event.
Your therapist may suggest something small to try between visits. Next time, you can talk through what helped and what still felt hard.
Taking the first step can feel hard when you’re anxious. We keep the process simple.

Medication decisions are made with your doctor or a psychiatrist. Our therapists provide counseling and don’t prescribe. You’re welcome to start anxiety therapy whether or not you take medication.
Yes. Anxiety may show up as headaches, an upset stomach, muscle tension, or trouble sleeping. It’s still a good idea to see your doctor to check for other causes.
CBT and exposure therapy are widely used, well-researched approaches for anxiety. Your therapist may also draw on mindfulness or EMDR. Together, you’ll decide what fits your needs.
Your past experience is helpful to share. Sometimes a different therapist or approach may be a better fit. Tell us on the free call what didn’t work, and we’ll keep it in mind when suggesting a therapist.
Length of therapy depends on what you want to work on. Someone focused on panic attacks may come for a few months, while others choose to continue longer. Along the way, you and your therapist can decide how often to meet.
Yes, with select therapists. Video visits require you to be in Arizona, New York, or Hawaii at the time. When you call, mention where you’ll be so we can find the right fit.
Your therapist will explain what stays private and when safety concerns or the law may require them to share information. Bring any questions about this to your free call.
