Anxiety is a normal part of the human experience but…

If you get caught in its grip for too long it can cause great suffering.

You notice you’re getting distracted during the important moments in life. You're starting to feel distant and disengaged. 

You experience sleepless nights consumed by worry. You withdraw more from relationships, hobbies and responsibilities as a way to feel safe. You stop taking risks and seek comfort over adventure. 

Your anxiety starts to manifest itself in your body; pain, fatigue and panic attacks. You turn to distractions as a means of getting by. Drinking, scrolling online - anything to escape. More and more of your energy is spent on trying to manage your anxiety or fears and less energy on living life.

Anxiety isn’t who you are, and it doesn't have to define you. We know how to help. We can equip you with the tools and confidence to move through your anxiety and take back control.

  • Anxiety is a natural human response that everyone experiences. It's one of your body's way of reacting to stress and can be a heads-up that you're in a tough spot or are facing difficult challenges. But if anxiety starts to become too much, hangs around for too long, or interferes with your daily life, then it might be worth meeting with a professional to see if you would benefit from anxiety treatment.

  • You might find therapy helpful if you're experiencing anxiety that's really starting to get in the way of your daily life, your relationships, or your work. This could mean you're feeling constantly worried, nervous, or just generally uneasy, and these feelings are hard to shake on your own. Therapy can also be a good idea if your anxiety is causing physical symptoms, panic attacks, or if you're avoiding situations because of fear. Basically, if anxiety is making life feel overwhelming or preventing you from doing things you want to do, and you're open to exploring those feelings and learning new ways to cope, anxiety therapy could be a good fit for you.

  • Yes, therapy has been shown to be highly effective for anxiety. Various therapeutic approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), have strong evidence supporting their ability to significantly reduce anxiety symptoms and enhance overall well-being. Therapy helps you to understand the underlying causes of your anxiety, develop effective coping tools, and learn to treat and manage anxious thoughts and behaviors.

  • The duration of anxiety therapy is highly individualized. While some may experience significant improvements within a few months, or even a few sessions, others might benefit from more extended support. Short-term anxiety therapy, typically encompassing 8 to 12 sessions, is common. However, for those managing more chronic or persistent anxiety, ongoing, longer-term therapy may be the best option for treatment.

  • During your initial therapy session, your therapist will typically dedicate time to understanding your background. They will inquire about your current emotional state, significant life experiences, and immediate concerns. Collaboratively, you will discuss your therapeutic goals and establish a personalized anxiety treatment plan. This introductory meeting also provides you with an opportunity to pose any questions you might have and allows you to assess your comfort level to ensure that you have the right fit with a therapist.

  • Preparing for your first session isn't strictly necessary, but some find it helpful to think about what they want to discuss. You might jot down a few notes about your main concerns, specific anxiety symptoms you're experiencing, or what you hope to gain from therapy. It's also okay to just show up; your therapist will guide the conversation.

  • Beyond generalized anxiety (or anxiety that is not specific to one thing or fear), common types include Panic Disorder (sudden, intense panic attacks), Social Anxiety Disorder (fear of social situations), Specific Phobias (intense fear of certain objects or situations).

  • Phobias are intense, out-of-proportion fears of really specific things, like certain objects, situations, or activities. The fear is way bigger than any real danger. Think arachnophobia (freaking out over spiders), acrophobia (terrified of heights), or claustrophobia (can't stand tight spaces). When someone with a phobia runs into what they're scared of, they immediately get hit with severe anxiety, which often makes them avoid that thing altogether.

    General anxiety, on the other hand, is a broader term for feeling worried, nervous, or uneasy about stuff that's not always clear or immediate. This kind of anxiety is more spread out and can be a constant experience, even when there's no obvious threat.

    So, the big takeaway is that a phobia is a specific and intense type of anxiety linked to one particular thing, while general anxiety is more of a widespread, less focused state of worry. All phobias are types of anxiety, but not all anxiety is a phobia.

    The good thing is that irrespective of if you have more general or specific anxieties, both are highly responsive to therapy and treatment.

  • Yes, online therapy is a convenient and effective option for many. Virtual sessions offer access to professional support from the comfort of one's home, serving as a beneficial alternative for those facing mobility or scheduling challenges.

  • While fees can vary based on a therapist's specialization and expertise, at Prairieview Psychology, the price per session ranges from $220- $240 per appointment depending on the clinician. Each standard session is 50 minutes in length.
