People who want to climb Mt. Everest and make it back safely often hire a highly skilled guide—frequently one of the famous indigenous people, the Sherpas—to help them find their way and carry some of the baggage. Here, if your daily life is feeling like a long, hard climb up a steep mountain, similar assistance is available in the form of therapists such as myself, who have made that climb hundreds of times, know the way, and are experienced handlers of baggage. If you need a skilled companion, I would be honored to join your expedition.

Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Amherst, MA can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your day-to-day anxiety or your anxiety disorder.
Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Thriveworks Amherst therapists will then work with you to determine where your anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.
One of the best ways to deal with anxiety is to learn about your own anxiety: your symptoms, what triggers it, and what coping mechanisms have been effective in the past. When you learn what your anxiety is tied to, it can help you be mindful of what’s really happening as well as prevent and mitigate symptoms by processing and working through the issue in therapy. Other strategies that have been shown to help manage anxiety are meditation, challenging anxious thoughts, exercising, and journaling.
Common symptoms of anxiety include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be incredibly effective in treating anxiety and anxiety disorders. Other effective techniques include exposure therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR therapy.
Anxiety therapy is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability. We suggest choosing the option that best suits your needs.
On average, people can tend to attend 15 to 20 session of anxiety therapy (five or more months). However, this number is heavily dependent on the type of anxiety that’s being treated and its severity, with many choosing to attend anxiety therapy for a longer period of time to ensure its effectiveness long-term.
Yes, it is worth going to therapy for anxiety. If you are struggling with regular anxious thoughts and feelings that are affecting your day-to-day life or you suspect that you have an anxiety disorder, you should seek expert anxiety help.
We all encounter events that increase our anxiety: the loss of a job, an uncomfortable social interaction, divorce, the loss of a loved one—any of these things can lead to anxiety. No one is immune to it, and unfortunately, you can’t predict if (or when) it’ll happen to you.
If you’ve ever struggled with anxiety, you know how debilitating it can be. But it might help to know that you aren’t alone—in fact, approximately 40 million Americans struggle with anxiety each year. Sadly, most people will go untreated. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Anxiety is treatable. Anxiety therapy works and you can get the help you need at Thriveworks Anxiety Therapy in Amherst, MA. (413-634-4805).
Many symptoms are associated with anxiety. It’s important to seek the professional support of a licensed anxiety counselor to help you understand the cause of your anxiety and develop a plan of care that’s right for you. Symptoms include:
Remember, you are worthy of care. If you are experiencing any combination of the above symptoms, schedule an appointment with an anxiety therapist in Amherst, MA. They can observe your symptoms and design an effective treatment plan for you.
Anxiety therapy helps people to change their thinking patterns and manage all of the harmful symptoms that come with anxiety. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is especially effective when it comes to treating anxiety, as this approach is rooted in changing those negative thoughts, which exacerbate or even bring on anxiety.
An anxiety therapist at Thriveworks can help you realize that even if a friend doesn’t respond right away, this doesn’t mean they are angry or upset with you. They can help you to understand that your anxiety or panic attack isn’t a heart attack (a common misunderstanding). Furthermore, they can help you confront the root of your anxiety problems; for example, if you have social phobia, they can help you see that all eyes are not on you the way you think. In sum, these professionals will assert your specific situation and then design therapy to best help you.
Thriveworks Anxiety Therapy in Amherst can help you learn to cope with anxiety, even overcome it—we are here for you. We offer daytime, evening, and weekend appointments so that you can find a time that works for your busy schedule. There’s never a waiting list—we set you up with a counselor within the same week.
