Does daily life feel heavy with worry? If restlessness, a racing heart, or constant concern are making things feel overwhelming, you are not alone. Help is available for you, no matter your background, identity, or family structure.

Anxiety is a common mental health challenge, and no one should face it in isolation. At Maplewood Counseling, we provide compassionate guidance and resources tailored to your unique needs, helping you regain a sense of peace and control. We welcome individuals from all communities, including LGBTQ+ individuals, multicultural families, and neurodiverse people. Our approach to anxiety treatment is rooted in respect and understanding for your personal story.

Understanding How Anxiety Affects You

Anxiety shows up differently for everyone. It can be a constant hum of worry, physical tension, or a persistent sense of unease. Your life circumstances, cultural background, and personal experiences all shape your journey with anxiety. We are committed to understanding your individual perspective.

Common Signs of Anxiety

You might be living with anxiety if you often experience:

  • Feeling “on edge” or restless most of the time.
  • Worry that feels persistent and difficult to control.
  • Trouble concentrating or a sense of “mental fog.”
  • Feeling easily irritated or more emotionally sensitive than usual.
  • Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep.
  • Physical symptoms like chest tightness, a rapid heartbeat, or shortness of breath.

Recognizing these signs is a powerful first step toward making a change.

Types of Anxiety We Treat

Our therapists are skilled in treating a wide range of anxiety disorders, including:

  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Ongoing and excessive worry about many aspects of daily life.
  • Panic Disorder: Sudden, intense surges of fear, known as panic attacks, which can include overwhelming physical symptoms.
  • Social Anxiety Disorder: A deep fear or discomfort in social situations or of being judged by others.
  • Phobias: Intense fears centered on specific objects, situations, or experiences.

Your Path to Personalized, Affirming Care

There is no one-size-fits-all solution for anxiety. Your values, culture, and identity are central to your healing journey. We promise to meet you where you are and honor your story every step of the way.

Evidence-Based Therapies for Your Needs

We get to know you and your specific challenges before recommending a blend of therapies that may include:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Empowers you to identify unhelpful thought patterns and reframe your responses to anxiety.
  • Mindfulness and Acceptance Practices: Teaches practical skills to ground you in the present and foster self-compassion.
  • Talk Therapy: Offers a confidential space to explore your feelings, cultural influences, and identity-related stressors at your own pace.
