Anxiety Counseling: Find Relief and Support
Anxiety Counseling in Chicago, Orland Park, Tinley Park, Palos Heights, and Illinois
Anxiety can feel like it’s always there, weighing you down. Do you catch yourself overthinking everything, feeling restless, or constantly on edge? Maybe your mind won’t stop racing at night, or you’re stuck in a cycle of worry that keeps pulling you away from the things you care about.
It’s exhausting, isn’t it? That constant sense of tension that creeps in, even when you think you’re doing okay, making it hard to relax or just breathe. The thoughts that spiral out of control, but leave you thinking ‘could it be true’?
Anxiety can feel isolating, like no one truly understands what you’re going through. You might even feel frustrated with yourself for not being able to “just relax” or “get over it.” But anxiety isn’t something you can simply switch off—it’s a real struggle, and it’s okay to need help.
You don’t have to keep living this way. You deserve support from someone who gets it.
Our compassionate anxiety therapists are here to help you find calm, take back control, and create real, lasting change. Together, we’ll help you break free from anxiety and feel more like yourself again.

Understanding Anxiety
Anxiety shows up in many ways, affecting both your mind and body. Common symptoms people bring to anxiety therapy include:
Physical Symptoms: Increased heart rate, muscle tension, sweating, and fatigue.
Emotional Symptoms: Feelings of dread, irritability, or being overwhelmed.
Cognitive Symptoms: Persistent worry, racing thoughts, and difficulty concentrating.
Behavioral Symptoms: Avoidance of certain situations, restlessness, and changes in sleep patterns.
Sound familiar? If these feelings are making it hard to enjoy your life, it's time to get help. Ignoring anxiety often leads to unhealthy coping mechanisms, like overeating, drinking too much, or shopping excessively, which can create even more stress. You deserve better!
