Help for Anxiety Disorders
Psychotherapy pertaining to worry, rumination, general anxiety and more.
The term “anxiety” is used frequently. Generally anxiety is normal, and higher anxiety as well as stress is common when dealing with more challenging situations and dynamics. However, some individuals who may experience severe anxiety beyond this can have symptoms that are actually interfering with their functioning. The symptoms seen in anxiety disorders can be intense and very difficult to cope with.
Feeling anxious can make even simple tasks feel overwhelming. At Garden City Therapy in we help adults understand what anxiety looks like for them and we provide evidence-based compassionate support that helps you feel more grounded, calm, and in control. You don’t have to work through this alone.
How Anxiety Affects Your Day-to-Day Life
Anxiety can show up in many ways — racing thoughts, difficulty concentrating, irritability, restlessness, or a sense that something is “just wrong.” For many people, it begins to impact daily functioning: sleep becomes harder, work feels more stressful, and even socializing can feel draining or overwhelming.
When anxiety grows, it often leads to a cycle of worry → avoidance → more worry. You might find yourself replaying conversations, overthinking decisions, or feeling “on edge” most of the day.
The good news is that anxiety is highly treatable. Therapy helps you understand the patterns behind your anxiety, reduce physical symptoms, build coping skills, and feel more in control of your thoughts and reactions. Our approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your specific needs — whether you’re dealing with generalized anxiety, panic attacks, health anxiety, work stress, or social anxiety.
If you’re looking for an anxiety therapist in Garden City, Nassau County, or the surrounding Long Island area, our team is here to support you with care that feels safe and approachable.
If you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety such as panic attacks, physical pain, difficulty sleeping, changes in eating or other habits, nightmares, or other distressing symptoms it may be time to seek professional assistance. The symptoms may not diminish on their own and they are not just something you can ignore or run from hoping they will go away. Without professional assistance, many individuals find that their symptoms of anxiety may actually worsen.
Counseling has been shown to significantly improve quality of life. We integrate various therapy approaches to help treat anxiety disorders including interpersonal/relational therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques.
We attempt to heal by defining the negative impacts in your life and actively develop techniques to help cope with or resolve these. We also explore your relationship patterns, psychology, and patterns throughout your life which may be influencing your symptoms so that we can help diminish them and create new coping skills, relationships, and ways of relating.
Once you have recognized that you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety that are negatively affecting your life, it may be time to consider visiting us. We are licensed clinical therapists covered by many commercial and managed Medicaid insurances. Therapy is successful at treating symptoms, whether it is used on its own or along with medication management by psychiatrist or nurse practitioner and we would be glad to try to help you find help for a psychiatry consultation as well.
Through counseling sessions you will learn important life skills and tools that will allow you to start to reduce the amount of tension in your life, cope with stressors proactively, and increase your resilience. This will help you in your personal, relational, and work life. We want you to be able to enjoy your life. You do not have to live a stressed out, overwhelming, excruciating existence.
