Severe anxiety goes well beyond everyday stress or worry. It can feel consuming — like your nervous system is stuck in a constant state of threat, even when nothing is actually wrong.
➡Physically, it might show up as a racing heart, chest tightness, shortness of breath, dizziness, nausea, or muscle tension that never fully lets go.
➡Mentally, it can look like racing thoughts, difficulty concentrating, catastrophic thinking, or an inability to be present.
Many people with severe anxiety describe feeling exhausted all the time simply from the effort of managing it — and often, they've been living this way so long it feels normal. It isn't, and it's very treatable.
❓Do you treat severe anxiety or just mild worry❓
We treat the full spectrum — from everyday worry that's gotten out of hand to severe anxiety that's significantly disrupting your life. You don't need to minimize what you're experiencing to reach out, and you don't need to wait until things are at a breaking point either.
For more severe anxiety, our therapists are trained in approaches that go beyond surface-level coping skills.
🌿EMDR and Brainspotting in particular are well-suited for anxiety that has deeper roots — whether in past experiences, relational patterns, or nervous system dysregulation that's been present for a long time.
