    Are you constantly wondering about the future? Do you have an intense desire to know what is going to happen next? Does it feel like you can’t control things no matter how hard you try?

    If this sounds like you, we’re confident we can help. EmPower Me offers effective forms of treatment, to get the relief from anxiety that you deserve.

    When it comes to treating anxiety disorders, research shows that therapy is usually the most effective option. That’s because anxiety therapy – as opposed to anxiety medication – treats more than just symptoms of the problem.

    Often, these are the symptoms of anxiety:

    • Nervousness, restlessness, or being tense
    • Feelings of danger, panic, or dread
    • Rapid breathing or hyperventilation
    • Increased or heavy sweating
    • Trembling or muscle twitching
    • Weakness or lethargy
    • Difficulty focusing or thinking clearly about anything other than the thing you’re worried about
    • Insomnia
    • Obsessions about certain ideas are a sign of obsessive-compulsive disorder
    • Anxiety surrounding a particular life event or experience that has occurred in the past is a sign of post-traumatic stress disorder

    Therapy can help to uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears, learn how to relax, look at situations in a new, less frightening way, and develop better coping mechanisms and problem-solving skills.

    If you suffer from an anxiety disorder, please reach out to schedule an appointment to see how we can help you.
