Anxiety Therapy in Madison, CT
Therapy for Anxiety
Anxiety doesn’t have to run your life. We use proven, evidence-based strategies to help you navigate anxious thoughts and sensations with greater confidence and ease.
When anxiety takes over, it can feel like your mind never stops.
You might replay conversations, overthink every decision, or worry about things that haven’t happened yet. Sometimes your body feels it too. You might experience a racing heart, restlessness, exhaustion, or even have trouble sleeping. You’re not alone. With the right tools and support, you can quiet the noise, manage uncertainty, and find more calm and confidence day-to-day.
Anxiety Therapy can help you…
Build steadier coping skills so you feel less overwhelmed by anxious thoughts.
Understand what fuels your anxiety so you can respond with clarity instead of fear.
Strengthen skills that help you feel more grounded, present, and in control of your daily life.
How to Get Started
01. Schedule Your First Session
Before beginning therapy, you’ll schedule a brief consultation through our online form. After you submit it, our Client Care Coordinator will reach out to learn more about what you’re looking for, answer questions, and help determine which therapist is the best fit. By the end of this conversation, you’ll have a clear sense of next steps and feel confident moving forward.
02. Your First Therapy Session
In your initial session, we focus on understanding your needs, your history, and what you want from therapy. This is a chance to share what’s been weighing on you in a safe, supportive space. We’ll explore your goals and begin identifying the patterns or challenges getting in the way. You’ll also learn what our sessions will look like moving forward, so you feel grounded and ready for the work ahead.
03. Exploring Your Needs and Goals
In this step, we’ll work together to clarify what you want life to look like beyond anxiety. We’ll identify the patterns that are getting in your way—such as worry spirals, avoidance, overthinking, or the pressure to “hold it all together”—and outline the small, steady steps that will help you move toward relief and confidence. As you grow, we’ll adjust these goals so your therapy continues to match your needs and the direction you want to move in.
04. Building Steady Progress Over Time
Our ongoing sessions are a collaborative process where we’ll gently work through the patterns that fuel your anxiety and notice the progress you’re making along the way. Sessions are typically weekly or bi-weekly and are flexible based on what you need. By consistently returning to your goals and building the skills that help you stay steady, you’ll develop confidence and resilience that lasts.
05. Maintaining Your Progress
As therapy progresses, we’ll focus on helping you carry the skills and insights you’re building into your everyday life. Together, we’ll notice what’s working, strengthen the strategies that support you, and help you feel more confident navigating anxious moments on your own. Whether you choose to space sessions out or move toward completing your work, you’ll leave with a clear understanding of how to maintain your progress and continue growing beyond our time together.
