Anxiety
Anxiety Therapy in Houston, TX
People use the word "anxiety" for many forms of tension and overwhelm. Some feel a constant alertness. Some wake with dread and cannot point to a reason. Others keep moving and performing, yet feel chased from inside. For many, sleep is light, and thoughts do not stop.
We do not want to offer a checklist. We are interested in when this began, what sets it off, what it may be protecting, and how it shapes your days and relationships.
Our clinical team of in-network psychologists can help you. In person in Houston and online across Texas.
