Do you find yourself constantly worrying about work, even when you’re at home, or feeling on edge over the smallest things?

Understanding Anxiety and Its Impact
Anxiety is one of the most common mental health conditions, affecting 40 million adults in the U.S.—nearly 18% of the population. It’s not caused by anything you did or didn’t do. And just like other medical conditions, it responds to effective treatments that can ease your suffering and help you reconnect with a calmer, happier version of yourself.
Anxiety can manifest in different ways, such as:
- Racing thoughts
- Restlessness
- Difficulty sleeping
- Physical tension
- Constant overthinking
For some, it’s tied to specific situations; for others, it becomes a persistent undercurrent in daily life. Without proper support, anxiety can become overwhelming, affecting physical and mental well-being. That’s where counseling for anxiety makes a difference.
