Anxiety

Anxiety is a common mental health condition that affects millions of people worldwide and is perhaps the top reason that people enter therapy. It is a natural response to stress, triggered by a perceived threat or danger. While it’s normal to feel anxious in certain situations, such as before a significant event or during times of uncertainty, anxiety becomes a concern when it persists, intensifies, and interferes with one’s ability to enjoy life and feel like themselves. The therapists at Sheridan Counseling Group aim to help you understand anxiety, its causes, symptoms, and most importantly, provide strategies and techniques to effectively manage and overcome it.
