Counseling for Anxiety & Panic in Asheville

It starts with you agonizing over every little detail of what you said, could have said, should have said or what you did or didn't do. As you beat yourself up, your thoughts begin to spiral out and fly at top speed through your mind. You notice a sharp pain and tightness in your chest. Your heart races and feels like it will beat out of your chest. You feel faint, weak, dizzy and like you want to throw up. It is hard to breathe, you sweat, you feel tingly, you feel numb, and it feels like you are losing control and that something really bad is about to happen. You worry that you are having a heart attack or worse that you are going crazy. It is the worst 10 minutes of your life.

You need relief from Anxiety & Panic Attacks

Anxiety and panic attacks are more than unpleasant, they are frightening. After you had survived one, you start to worry about when the next one will come. You may be avoiding parts of your life out of fear that they will induce another attack. You keep your struggles to yourself out of embarrassment and you are in isolation more.

How I work with Anxiety & Panic Attacks in Asheville 

I use highly effective and well-researched treatment interventions like EMDR, (click here to learn more about EMDR). EMDR Therapy not only heals anxiety and panic attacks so that the unpleasant symptoms go away but helps to transform them so that you can develop a sense of calm and resilience.

AS WE WORK TOGETHER, MY HOPE IS THAT YOU’LL:

  • Have fewer anxiety or panic attacks

  • Develop many ways to cope with anxiety as it comes up

  • Learn to identify warning signs that anxiety or panic attack is coming on

  • Feel grounded and at ease

  • Feel empowered to deal with anxiety
