Anxiety Therapy

In today’s demanding and fast-paced world, everyone is talking about “anxiety,” but it can be hard to know if the stomach-churning stress you feel at the thought of meeting new people is “normal” stress or if you’re experiencing some actual level of anxiety and could benefit from seeing a professional therapist.

Treatment might include psychotherapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or a combination of therapy and counseling. These proven methods used by the skilled team at BHSA alter the harmful thought patterns that often trigger anxiety and troublesome feelings. Working together, we help end distorted thinking and change the intensity of your reactions to stressors to a healthier, more manageable level.
