Are you tired of worrying about all the things you can’t control…things you can’t seem to stop… You can’t stop worrying. You worry about your kids, your job, your marriage, your aging parents, your health, your friendships, school, and your mental health. Do you see anxiety taking a toll on your life? You have anxious thoughts and try to control things that you have no control over. Which leaves you feeling panicked.
You can function well throughout the day except when you have to concentrate on things. The hardest part is at night when you lay your head down to sleep. You find yourself obsessing about your life. You also feel the toll anxiety is taking on your own body. There is a tightness in your chest and your palms are sweaty. You lack the desire to exercise and your gut is all messed up and now your hair is starting to fall out!
Am I The Only One Struggling With Anxiety?
Do you wonder how other people do it? Everyone else seems like they are functioning so much better than you! How can you be like them and walk through life easy-breezy without a care in the world? You want to enjoy life, your relationships, your job, and the life you are creating for yourself. But your thoughts prevent you from enjoying anything.
You have tried things to help your anxiety. You have listened to podcasts, read books and articles about anxiety, and even prayed. Yet you are still left with impending thoughts of doom waiting to strike your life at any moment.
Anxiety Therapy Can Help You Gain Control of Your Thoughts…
Some anxiety is not bad. Anxiety is a part of life for everyone. If you were walking your dog and saw another dog growling at your dog, you would quickly cross the street to protect yourself and your dog. Anxiety can sometimes protect us and those around us.
The problem comes when we can’t shut down our brain with the “what ifs” and these thoughts keep us from enjoying life. Sitting down with a trained anxiety therapist can help you reframe your anxious thoughts. Whether you are stressed about social anxiety and start isolating yourself from social situations, feeling paralyzed about a presentation you need to do for your job, or taking a test for school, anxiety therapy can help support you by understanding and isolating the source of your anxiety.

Sparrow Counseling’s Approach to Anxiety Therapy
Anxiety therapy usually begins with our anxiety therapists getting a better understanding of where your anxiety is coming from. What are your anxiety triggers or what do you try and do to avoid feeling anxious? One of the first things we do is help give you tried and true techniques to deal with your anxiety, so we can begin doing the deeper work of understanding where the anxiety stems from.
We believe our clients cannot start healing until they learn how to deal with their overthinking and intrusive thoughts. Once we have those under control, we can begin to go deeper. Then you get a better understanding of who you are and what makes you tick! This can become the power of therapy!
