In a time where information is infinite, media moves at lightspeed, and daily responsibilities seem to be never ending, feeling anxious has become a normalized sensation for many. And while anxiety is a resourceful emotion that serves as a biological warning system, when experienced too often or too intensely, it can become debilitating and put our nervous system into overdrive.
Anxiety can look like:
Without anxiety entirely, I wouldn’t be here writing this blog. I’d probably have been mauled by a bear, eaten days-old food sitting outside, or perhaps not felt the need to check for cars before crossing the street! While we require anxiety to be able to assess environments and identify potential threats, living life in a constant state of hyper vigilance can result in persistent false alarms and a sense of fear.
Living with severe anxiety can be isolating and immobilize us from making decisions, going to work, seeing loved ones, and simply enjoying life. With over 50% of Americans experiencing heightened anxiety towards job security, bills, health and world events, it’s difficult to know when it is time to consider mental health treatment. Keep reading to dive deeper into what severe anxiety is and how to know when it's time to get more support.
Have you tried weekly therapy or anxiety medication, but still feel like you’re not getting the relief you need? Is your anxiety impacting your ability to perform work responsibilities, see loved ones, take care of yourself, and follow through on commitments? Do you walk out of your therapy sessions feeling relieved but find you struggle to manage the anxiety outside of sessions?
If the answer is yes, you might not be getting the right amount of support to truly progress. When weekly anxiety therapy sessions are not enough, seeking more support can offer the stability and growth needed to truly find relief.
It can be hard not to compare how anxiety affects you versus how it affects the people around you. You may even be asking yourself, “How can others manage these feelings so well?” or “Why does my anxiety seem so much worse than those around me?”. And while the word “anxiety” can be verbally expressed by many, the way anxiety feels and impacts us is deeply personal and different for everyone.
Noticing you need more support does not mean anything is wrong with you. It simply means you are ready to take charge of your situation. Our goal is to support you in every part of your journey so you can redefine how anxiety shows up in your life.

We understand how exhausting living with chronic anxiety can be. It feels as if no matter what you do, there is a weight always pushing you down. If you’ve been struggling with anxiety for a while, and typical therapy is not helping, you are not the problem and you are not failing. It simply means you have not been given the right type of support or tools to succeed.

Anxiety significantly impacts the sympathetic nervous system’s “fight or flight” response which releases stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol that can cause increased heart rate, rapid breathing, and heightened alertness to our environment. After consistent activation of the sympathetic “fight or flight” response, our body can get “stuck” in this response and lead to chronic hyperarousal which keeps the body on high alert.
Our structured programs will teach you real skills to help calm the nervous system and reduce overall distress through evidenced based techniques. Additionally, our treatment programs offer group spaces to discuss the unique ways anxiety impacts our daily lives and identify skills to manage symptoms going forward.
