When your mind won't slow down, even when everything looks fine on the outside

Anxiety can show up in a lot of different ways. Maybe you overthink conversations long after they're over. You worry about things that haven't happened yet, have trouble relaxing, feel overwhelmed easily, or put pressure on yourself to get everything right. Sometimes anxiety looks less like obvious worry and more like irritability, perfectionism, avoidance, difficulty sleeping, physical tension, or constantly feeling like you need to stay one step ahead. At Authentic Counseling and Therapy in Morris, IL, we provide anxiety therapy for children, teens and adults who are ready to understand what's driving their anxiety—not just temporarily quiet the symptoms.

People seek anxiety therapy for many different reasons, including:

  • Constant worrying or overthinking 

  • Feeling overwhelmed easily 

  • Perfectionism and fear of making mistakes

  • Social anxiety or fear of judgment 

  • Difficulty making decisions

  • Stress and burnout

  • Irritability or feeling constantly on edge 

  • Trouble setting boundaries

  • Self-doubt and second-guessing yourself

  • Anxiety related to relationships, school, work, parenting or major life changes

  • ADHD combined with anxiety and overwhelm 

  • Physical symptoms of anxiety or difficulty relaxing
