Vervewell therapists work with clients who may be experiencing regular bouts of anxiety. Sometimes anxiety shows up as panic.

Anxiety represents the psyche’s alarm system responding to perceived threats, both real and Imagined. Rather than simply suppressing symptoms, we’ll explore anxiety as a meaningful communication from parts of yourself demanding attention. You’ll develop sophisticated strategies for self-regulation while investigating the underlying conflicts your anxiety may be expressing. This involves learning to differentiate between realistic concerns requiring action and neurotic anxiety serving defensive purposes. By developing a more nuanced relationship with your anxiety, you transform it from tyrant to teacher, using its energy for growth rather than paralysis.
