FAQs about Therapy for Anxiety in New York

  • Anxiety in itself is normal and we need it for survival. It’s an adaptation.

    However, sometimes we can “over-develop” our anxious responses which ends up negatively impacting life in various ways.

    If your anxiety is getting in the way of you being able to relax, enjoy life, work effectively, sleep well or maintain healthy relationships, you may have overdeveloped anxiety.

  • Because anxiety is normal and needed for survival, there’s no getting rid of it for good.

    However, we help you tease out what’s normal and what’s distorted or overdeveloped. Once we know that, we use various strategies and therapies to help you create a healthy balance between your rational anxiety and freedom from the overdeveloped.

  • We offer several types of therapies that are evidence-based for treating anxiety.

    Most commonly we will consider combining various modalities such as CBT, mindfulness, DBT and ACT.

    If your anxiety is rooted in past traumas of any kind, EMDR can be a very effective way to get of overdeveloped and unnecessary anxiety while preserving healthy anxiety that we all innately have.
