You are successful in all areas, but can't seem to set boundaries, or be present by choosing escapism through eating, drinking, busyness, etc. You worry about making the same mistakes, wanting to do something about "it" and not knowing how. You hide your truest self from yourself, and others, going through the motions, feeling emptiness and anxiety.
You feel tired, restless, antsy, empty, confused, and wanting to sort out the *stuff* in your head and heart. You want to find your footing in your family, or your marriage, or your parenting and/or yourself. You are done with doing things the same ol' way. Our clinicians have the experience, creativity, and knowledge to help treat your anxiety in a nonjudgmental, compassionate, and very personalized way.
We want to help you face your fears so you can sit with them and get through them. Anxiety therapy is a process and our clinicians will be with you every step of the way. The main goal for Catalyst Counseling is to preserve mental wellness, both through mental health wellness techniques and individual client care.
