Anxiety

Feeling a certain level of anxiety over big stressors or certain life events is totally normal. However, if you find that your fear or worry does not go away and, in fact, gets worse over time, you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder. Mild anxiety is vague and unsettling and often passes quickly, while severe anxiety can seriously affect your day-to-day life. If you are finding your anxiety unmanageable, can’t identify the cause of your anxious feelings or if you are suffering from physical symptoms (such as heart palpations, fatigue, sweaty hands, upset stomach, or insomnia), it may be time to get help. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s anxiety specialists today.

I have completed additional training in treating anxiety and related disorders through mindfulness practices.

— William Ezzelle, Licensed Professional Counselor

Human life is such a complex experience, but anxiety remains at the center. Our brains are on the lookout 24/7 to keep us safe. While all of us understand that some anxiety is just part of life, chronic or dangerous levels of stress and anxiety need immediate attention in order to restore a healthier life balance. I work with clients using cognitive, body-based, emotion and trauma centered approaches to heal high anxiety and feel home again in the self.

Teen anxiety affects practically every kid at one time or another. Being anxious before a big test or nervous on a first date is a normal part of growing up. However, there is a significant difference between a temporary phase of anxiety in teens and a real disorder.

Anxiety can come from a lot of things in our life. You may find yourself worrying intensely about little things that you know really don't matter that much, but can't find your way to the big picture. I can help you to connect to the root cause of that anxiety, and heal the underlying issue so that you're not constantly spinning your wheels. Then, you'll be able to confidently ask for help or for what you need from others, and not feel so overwhelmed in your everyday life.

Anxiety is an evolutionary adaptation and a modern-day affliction. Anxiety sometimes helps us, but it mostly hurts us. People who struggle with clinical anxiety lose years of their livelihoods to it. Anxiety keeps us stuck and prevents us from feeling calm and confident within ourselves and our relationships. It prevents us from becoming the people we want to be. I specialize in treating anxiety and helping you find your way to calmness and confidence. Let's find your peace of mind.

It’s easy to brush anxiety off as a simple act of worrying too much.

At Grief Recovery Center, we can help you navigate your anxiety.

You can't stop thinking about the future. It's hard to stay in the present. It affects your eating, your sleeping, your work, your relationships, and everything else. The good news is I've got a TON of coping skills for us to try, from journaling to improv to throwing ice cube at the side of an empty parking garage. While we try different skills week-to-week, I'll also help you look into where the anxiety truly comes from, and if there's a way to change your expectations for yourself.

Anxiety is a mysterious affect with myriad sources. It can be the body's way of asserting that something in the external world needs changing. It can be a hypervigilance to certain behaviors or events. It can even be the body's way of masking other difficult emotions. Regardless of why it has arrived, anxiety is incredibly painful, and often debilitating. I work with clients to make sense of their experiences of anxiety and reduce feelings of pervasive discomfort and unease.

— Gemma Collins, Clinical Social Worker in Seattle, WA
