You Can Be Doing Well and Still Be Struggling
Sometimes anxiety doesn't stop you from functioning, it helps drive you to keep functioning. You may be responsible, dependable, organized, successful, or the person everyone else turns to. from the outside, things may look fine but inside it can feel very different.
​
High functioning anxiety may look like:
Difficulty slowing down or relaxing
Feeling guilty when you're not being productive
Constantly thinking about what's next
Fear of making mistakes
Overpreparing
Seeking reassurance from others
Difficulty saying "no"
Setting extremely high expectations for yourself
Feeling like you're never doing enough
Accomplishing a goal & immediately worrying about the next one
How Therapy Can Help
The goal of therapy isn't necessarily to eliminate every anxious thought. Anxiety is part of being human.
​
Instead, therapy can help you understand you anxiety, recognize the patterns that keep it going, and develop a different relationship with the thoughts and feelings that have been controlling so much of your energy.
Understand Your Patterns
Learn to recognize the situations, thoughts, experiences, and behaviors that trigger or reinforce your anxiety.

Create Sustainable Change
Therapy isn't just about feeling better during your session. Together, we'll work toward changes that can carry into your relationships, work, school, boundaries, routines, and daily life.
Therapy Should Feel Human
At KWR Practices, we believe that meaningful therapy begins with the relationship.
You aren't a diagnosis or a collection of symptoms. Your anxiety exists within the larger context of your experiences, relationships, responsibilities, strengths, values, and the ways you've learned to navigate the world.
​
Our approach to anxiety therapy is collaborative and individualized. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all formula, therapy is tailored to what you need and what you're hoping to change.
​
Depending on your individual needs, treatment may incorporate person-centered, cognitive behavioral, attachment-based, trauma-informed, and other evidence-informed approaches.
​
Most importantly, therapy is a space to better understand yourself—not judge yourself for struggling.
