ANXIETY therapy in Kailua, Hawaii
It’s time to stop the constant worry, overthinking, and “what-if” scenarios.
Do you have a feeling of impending doom? Are you overwhelmed by your anxieties and fears? Do you have a brain that spirals out of control?
“I overanalyze everything and can’t shut my brain off.”
“I feel like I am always waiting for the other shoe to drop.”
“I create a scenario for every possible situation.”
“My mind is always creating a problem.”
Sound familiar? It can be exhausting living inside a mind that gives you no break. You spend so much time in your own head that it can feel hard to turn it off. Your negative “what-if” scenarios are so well crafted and thought out, that they seem plausible.
Your brain is lying to you. Let me prove it.
Life can feel different than the way it does today.
Therapy can help you break the hold anxiety has on you.
