Anxiety Counseling

Our mental health therapists can help you with these issues:

  • Anxiety directly related to a stressful life event or transition: Graduating high school, moving, loss of job, marriage, new baby, death of a loved one.
  • Agoraphobia (ag-uh-ruh-FOE-be-uh) is a type of anxiety disorder in which you fear and often avoid places or situations.
  • Anxiety disorder due to a medical condition includes symptoms of intense anxiety or panic that are directly caused by a physical health problem. We have a variety of anxiety treatment options.
  • Generalized anxiety includes persistent and excessive anxiety and worry about activities or events — even ordinary, routine issues. The worry is out of proportion to the actual circumstance, is difficult to control, and affects how you feel physically.
  • Panic attacks involve repeated episodes of sudden feelings of intense anxiety and fear or terror that reach a peak within minutes (panic attacks).
  • Social anxiety (social phobia) involves high levels of anxiety, fear and avoidance of social situations due to feelings of embarrassment, self-consciousness and concern about being judged or viewed negatively by others.
  • Substance-induced anxiety is characterized by symptoms of intense anxiety or panic that are a direct result of misusing drugs, taking medications.

FAQ's

Anxiety doesn’t always have an obvious trigger — it can build from stress, sleep, hormones, or old patterns your body learned to protect itself with. Even when it feels like “nothing happened,” your nervous system may be reacting to something real underneath the surface.

Racing thoughts and overthinking are some of the most common signs of anxiety. Your brain is trying to solve for uncertainty by running every possible scenario, but that constant mental loop is exhausting — and it’s very treatable.

Physical symptoms like chest tightness, shallow breathing, or a racing heart are often anxiety showing up in the body, not just the mind. It can feel scary, but it’s a very common and manageable response to stress.

Anxiety often shows up as irritability before it shows up as worry. When your nervous system is on high alert, even small things can feel like too much — and that tension often spills onto the people closest to you.

It’s hard to know on your own, and that’s completely normal. A therapist can help you sort through what you’re experiencing and figure out what’s really going on, without judgment.

Your first session is about getting to know you — what you’re feeling, when it started, and what you’re hoping will change. There’s no pressure to have it all figured out. We’ll build a plan together from there.

Every person is different. Some people notice real relief in a matter of weeks, while others benefit from longer-term support. We’ll check in regularly so you always know how things are progressing.

Yes — we offer both, so you can choose whatever feels most comfortable and fits your schedule, whether that’s our Sandy, UT office or a secure virtual session from home.

Yes. Your privacy matters deeply to us, and everything you share is protected by strict confidentiality standards, with only a few legal exceptions your therapist will explain clearly upfront.

Just reach out through our contact page or give us a call. We’ll help match you with the right therapist and get your first appointment scheduled.
