Compassionate Anxiety Therapy in NYC
Living with anxiety can feel like carrying an invisible weight, one that impacts your thoughts, emotions, and even your body. At Strides Psychotherapy, we understand how isolating and exhausting this can be. You may feel overwhelmed, stuck in a cycle of worry, or unable to relax. But you don’t have to navigate this journey alone. Our anxiety therapy in NYC is designed to provide you with the support, tools, and understanding you need to regain control and rediscover calm.
Anxiety is more than just stress or occasional worry—it’s a persistent, often overwhelming sense of unease or fear. It can appear in many forms, such as:
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): A constant state of worry about everyday things, from work to relationships.
Social Anxiety Disorder: A fear of being judged, embarrassed, or rejected in social situations.
Panic Disorder: Sudden and intense episodes of fear, often accompanied by physical symptoms like chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath.
Health Anxiety: Constant worry about potential illnesses despite medical reassurance.
Phobias: Intense fear of specific situations, objects, or environments.
You might notice symptoms such as:
Racing thoughts or excessive worry
Difficulty sleeping or concentrating
Muscle tension, headaches, or upset stomach
Feeling irritable, restless, or on edge
Avoiding situations or people that trigger anxiety
Sudden feelings of panic or dread
If you’re experiencing any of these, you’re not alone. Anxiety is common, and with the right treatment, it’s highly manageable.
