Anxiety Disorder Therapy

Anxiety can feel like a constant, unwelcome companion. It might show up as a racing heart, a knot in your stomach, or a whirlwind of worried thoughts that are hard to turn off. Whether you're dealing with social anxiety, panic attacks, or a persistent sense of dread, it can be an exhausting and isolating experience. At Equilibrium Psychotherapy, we want you to know that you don't have to navigate this alone. Our therapists in Madison, WI, are here to provide a supportive space where you can find relief and learn new ways to manage anxiety.

What is an Anxiety Disorder?

While everyone experiences anxiety from time to time, an anxiety disorder involves intense, excessive, and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations. These feelings can be difficult to control, are out of proportion to the actual danger, and can last a long time. They may lead you to avoid places or situations to prevent these feelings. Symptoms can start during childhood or the teen years and continue into adulthood.

Our Approach to Anxiety Therapy

We believe that therapy for anxiety is not about eliminating it entirely—it's about changing your relationship with it. Our approach is tailored to your unique story and needs. We'll work with you to understand the root causes of your anxiety, identify the triggers, and develop practical coping strategies. We often use a blend of therapeutic modalities, including narrative therapy, to help you challenge the unhelpful stories that anxiety tells you and to build a more empowered, resilient narrative for yourself.

You Can Feel Better

Living with an anxiety disorder can be challenging, but it is treatable. With the right support and tools, you can learn to manage your symptoms, reduce the intensity of your fears, and reclaim your life. If you're ready to take the first step, we invite you to reach out. Let's work together to help you find your equilibrium.
