What Anxiety and Depression Therapy Looks Like
Anxiety and depression therapy is the steady, evidence-based work of finding language for what is heavy, learning the patterns that keep it heavy, and building tools that loosen its grip. The frame is CBT-informed and DBT-informed, with trauma-aware practice woven through where the history calls for it. We talk about thoughts, behaviors, sleep, body, relationships, and context. Sessions leave you with something to use between visits: a grounding practice, a communication frame, a small experiment to try. The pace is yours.
Who This Is For
- Adults with persistent low-grade or episodic anxiety.
- Adults with depression that has become a long-term pattern.
- People navigating anxiety after a recent stressor or transition.
- People who want to address anxiety alongside another presenting concern.
- People whose anxiety has been treated medically and want the talk-therapy piece.
What to Expect
- A first session focused on understanding the shape of your anxiety or depression.
- Evidence-based methods (CBT, DBT-informed, ACT-informed) used where they fit.
- Concrete tools to try between sessions, with feedback in the next session.
- Trauma-aware framing when the history calls for it.
- Honest conversation about pacing, length of work, and when medication might be a useful adjunct.
