Our therapists provide anxiety therapy in Carmel, IN

Vanessa has always been an anxious person, but coming to terms with that hasn’t been easy. She’s embarrassed about how much she overthinks everything, and as she’s gotten older, it’s become an invasive form of self-manipulation. Everything from dating and college classes to job interviews has been a real challenge for her. And stomaching the frustration that she feels isn’t working anymore.
But instead of avoiding the subject, Vanessa feels ready to take action at this point. She’s done some personal research, and feels like talking to a mental health professional about her anxiety could offer some relief and ways to cope. Even though she’s never been to therapy or counseling, Vanessa hopes that connecting with someone makes a difference. 

Like Vanessa, you may be hoping to gain valuable insight into what’s causing your anxiety. At Thriveworks in Carmel, IN, our mental health professionals can offer you a new perspective and ways of coping with anxiety. There’s no need to face your recurring anxiety by yourself—let our team of providers help.

Are There Different Forms of Anxiety?

Many people are unaware that “anxiety” in the psychological sense actually refers to several different types of mental health disorders that are all closely related. There are many forms of anxiety, but some of the most common that our providers help to treat include: 

• Social anxiety disorder: Social anxiety induces distress while engaging with other people. Everything from grocery runs to birthday parties can be cumbersome, fear-filled events.
• Panic disorder: Panic disorder can cause panic attacks. These physical episodes might result in dizziness, chest pain, vertigo, and nausea. 
• Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD): GAD causes anxiety in different scenarios, whether real or imagined. This disorder can be difficult to identify because it isn’t triggered by any single source of anxiety. 
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD): This disorder often induces irrational thought loops, or impulses to perform random physical actions in repetition. 
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD): PTSD, can occur in anyone that has been through a psychologically or physically painful event. Those who suffer from it are often privy to flashbacks to traumatic events, nightmares, and antisocial behavior.
