Therapy for Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Are you struggling with the effects of generalized anxiety disorder?

Right now, you may be experiencing:

 

  • Persistent worry that’s difficult to control and extends across multiple life areas
  • Physical tension, restlessness, or feeling on edge most days
  • Difficulty concentrating or mind going blank due to worry
  • Sleep disturbances including trouble falling asleep or staying asleep
  • Irritability or a shorter fuse than usual
  • Fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
  • Physical symptoms like muscle tension, headaches, or digestive issues

You've started to recognize how Generalized Anxiety Disorder is impacting your life:

  • Your worry consumes significant time and mental energy
  • Productivity and performance at work or school are suffering
  • Relationships are strained by your constant state of tension
  • Decision-making has become increasingly difficult and stressful
  • You avoid certain activities or situations that might trigger worry
  • Physical health may be affected by chronic stress and tension
  • Joy and relaxation feel increasingly elusive or short-lived

You’re wondering…

  • Why can’t I just “stop worrying” when I know my anxiety is excessive?
  • Is medication necessary, or are there effective non-pharmaceutical approaches?
  • How is GAD different from normal stress or situational anxiety?
  • Will I always be an “anxious person” or can this pattern change?
  • What causes some people to develop GAD while others don’t?
  • How can I manage anxiety when the triggers seem to be everything?
  • Is it possible to recover completely, or is this something I’ll always manage?

You’re longing for…

  • Mental quietude and freedom from the constant chatter of worry.
  • The ability to be present rather than constantly anticipating problems.
  • Physical relaxation and relief from tension and stress-related symptoms.
  • Confidence in your ability to handle life’s uncertainties.
  • Improved sleep and energy levels.
  • A sense of proportion about life’s challenges.
  • The capacity to enjoy the present moment without intrusive worries.

How we can help you.

At Evergreen Counseling, we understand that Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) can feel like living with a mind that's constantly scanning for danger and preparing for the worst. Our trauma-informed approach recognizes that while GAD has biological components, it's often connected to earlier life experiences that taught you the world is unpredictable or dangerous and that constant vigilance is necessary for safety.

What you’re longing for is possible.
