Anxiety
Anxiety is part of being human—but when it disrupts your daily life, it’s time to seek support.
Feeling anxious from time to time is a natural part of life—and in many cases, anxiety can be helpful. It alerts us to danger, keeps us focused, and can motivate us to act. But when anxiety becomes overwhelming, persistent, or interferes with your ability to function, it may warrant further assessment.
Common signs and symptoms of anxiety may include:
Excessive worry that’s difficult to control
Restlessness or feeling “on edge”
Fatigue or low energy
Difficulty concentrating or focusing
Irritability
Changes in sleep patterns
Physical symptoms like muscle tension, headaches, digestive issues, or chest discomfort
Struggles with leaving home or being in social settings
While anxiety symptoms may come and go, or persist for weeks or months —without professional support, anxiety can limit your confidence, relationships, and overall well-being.
Support Services - How We Help with Anxiety
At Apis Mental Health & Grief Counseling, therapist Jennifer Apley believes that effective anxiety support begins with a relational, client-centered connection—not just symptom management. Therapy provides a safe and compassionate space where you can feel seen, understood, and supported as you explore the root causes of your anxiety.
Together, you’ll uncover patterns, build self-compassion, and reconnect with your inner strength. Using evidence-based mental health tools, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness based practices, treatment focuses on calming the chaos by reducing symptoms and helping you feel more calm, confident, and in control of yourself, as well as your thoughts.
Individualized Mental Health Support
Support is always tailored to your needs—whether you're experiencing panic attacks, social anxiety, chronic worry, or stress tied to life transitions. When appropriate, Jen can collaborate with primary care providers or refer for medication management to ensure well-rounded mental health care.
