Anxiety Therapy For Women and Teen Girls
Building the capacity to stay present in Santa Rosa and across California
Anxiety has a way of quietly taking over. It shows up as a tight chest, a mind that won’t stop racing, or an internal pressure to get everything just right. You might be showing up for everyone else at work, school, or home, but inside, your body feels tense and it’s becoming harder to just rest.
Noticing the Signals
When anxiety stays high, it can feel like your body is working against you. These reactions are often your internal way of trying to look out for you, even if they feel overwhelming in the moment.
In therapy, we work together to understand these signals and build your capacity to stay present with them. The goal isn't just to find ways to be calm, but to grow your ability to hold challenging feelings without becoming lost in them. As you begin to trust your own internal cues, you can move through your day with more steadiness.
How Anxiety Might Be Showing Up
You might recognize some of these patterns:
A constant sense of restlessness that follows you through the day.
A busy mind that makes it difficult to settle down at night.
For teen girls, the weight of social expectations and the pressure to perform or fit in.
Feeling pulled in too many directions while trying to stay on top of it all.
A lingering sense of self-criticism or guilt that’s hard to shake.
Therapy Can Help
TTherapy is a place to slow down and begin to notice what’s happening in your mind and body. We will take a somatic-informed approach, meaning we won’t just talk about the stress. We will explore the patterns that keep you feeling stuck and practice tools to help you stay grounded.
Through this process, we will build resilience and teach you how to navigate your inner world. By learning to manage your feelings and trust your body, you will feel more connected to yourself, even when life feels chaotic.
What we can work on together
-
We’ll explore how anxiety and low mood show up for you. You’ll learn how to notice those early signs of stress and find ways to support yourself before things feel out of control.
-
If you often doubt yourself or feel like you aren't doing enough, we work to uncover those old beliefs. Therapy becomes a place to practice being seen and accepted exactly as you are.
-
Many of us learned to keep the peace by putting others first. We can look at those patterns and practice new ways of protecting your energy and trusting your gut.
-
The pressure to be perfect is often tied to a fear of failing or not measuring up. We’ll look at where that pressure comes from and create more room for you to be fully human and "enough."
