Anxiety Therapy Ft. Lauderdale & Throughout Broward

If every day feels like a never ending battle against racing thoughts and panic sensations, there is hope.

Start healing with therapy for anxiety and panic

When anxiety is running the show, it can feel like your mind won’t let you rest. You may be constantly “on,” scanning for what could go wrong, replaying conversations, struggling to stay present, or bracing for the next wave of discomfort. You may feel on edge, overwhelmed, exhausted, or maybe even depressed from fighting intrusive negative thoughts that you can’t seem to control. If that sounds familiar, you’re not broken, and you’re not alone.

As stress pulls you further and further from your life, you may experience physical distress, such as feeling a weight on your chest making it hard to take a deep breath, tension in your neck or shoulders, heart palpitations, stomach issues, poor concentration, sleep problems, dizziness or maybe even full blown panic attacks. No matter how many deep breaths you take or how hard you try to distract yourself, the anxiety keeps coming back.To avoid these uncomfortable sensations, you may withdraw socially, attempt to avoid situations that trigger your anxiety, or you may even turn to unhealthy behaviors as a way to cope or numb out.

It doesn't have to be this way. Anxiety is treatable, regardless of where you fall on the stress, worry, anxiety, and panic continuum. Therapy can help you understand what’s happening in your mind and body, reduce the intensity of anxious spirals, and build steady confidence in your ability to manage, without needing everything to feel certain first.

Evidence-Based Therapy for Anxiety

At Still Minds Psychology, this is a collaborative, skills-based process. We’ll move at a pace that feels challenging enough to create change, but not so overwhelming that it backfires or feel impossible.

In therapy, we typically work on:

Understanding your anxiety cycle

You’ll learn how anxiety is maintained by the things we do to feel better in the short term (avoidance, asking for reassurance, rumination). We’ll work together on a plan to stop avoiding and start living.

Reducing the “alarm system” intensity

We’ll build strategies to help your nervous system settle and recover more quickly, so anxiety stops dictating your day.

Changing anxious thinking

Instead of feeling helpless against anxious thoughts, we’ll practice responding to them differently so they have less power and less “stickiness”. Over time you’ll notice your head starts feeling calmer and the anxious thoughts aren’t overwhelming.

Rebuilding trust in yourself

Anxiety often convinces you that you can’t handle discomfort or uncertainty. Therapy helps you rebuild confidence through real experiences not just insight. We’ll practice doing things that get you out of your comfort zone, and show yourself what you’re really capable of.

Practical tools you can use immediately

You’ll leave sessions with specific approaches to practice, tailored to how your anxiety shows up.You do not have to manage this alone, and you do not have to feel this way forever. Start therapy with a clinician who understands anxiety

Schedule Your First Session

If you’re nervous about starting therapy, that makes sense.
Many people who come to Still Minds Psychology worry about things like:
What if I say the wrong thing?
What if therapy makes my thoughts worse?
What if I’m judged for what goes through my mind?
If you’re asking those questions, you’re not alone—and nothing about them disqualifies you from therapy.
Therapy is not about analyzing every thought, convincing you they “don’t mean anything,” or forcing you to face fears before you’re ready. It is about understanding how anxiety operates, learning skills that actually reduce its power, and moving forward.
You are allowed to:
- Ask questions
- Go slowly
- Feel unsure
- Take time deciding if this feels like the right fit
Nothing needs to be perfect for you to begin.

I don’t just ask you how you’re doing, I utilize evidence-based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), & Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to get you symptom reduction.
We go at YOUR pace, working together. You don’t have to fight your thoughts alone.
We work with adults and young adults 14+ who feel overwhelmed by their thoughts, emotions, or anxiety—and who are ready for support that is both compassionate and effective.
No. If anxiety is interfering with your life, that’s enough reason to seek support.
That’s extremely common. We’ll go at a pace that feels manageable and respectful.
It varies, but many clients notice meaningful change within a few months when practice is consistent.
That’s a completely valid concern, and one we hear often. Many of our clients have been through therapy before and felt like they only ever learned surface level coping skills or were just rehashing their problems over and over again. At Still Minds Psychology, our team is trained specifically in treating anxiety. We use evidence-based methods like CBT, ACT, and exposure-based strategies that go beyond surface-level coping. Therapy with us is structured, personalized and rooted in approaches proven to help people reduce anxiety and build meaningful, lasting change.
Our standard rate for a one hour session is $175,
If you're using out-of-network benefits, we can provide superbills for possible reimbursement.
While therapy can be an expense, many view it as an investment. My patients find working with a highly trained specialist is still more cost effective than years spent trying to treat their condition with someone who does not understand how anxiety, OCD or phobias work. I work with people to recover and eliminate symptoms and teach you the skills to handle issues effectively once therapy is done

i know what it feels like to feel trapped by anxiety

For many years I dealt with debilitating social anxiety and panic that prevented me from being able to spend time with friends, and even leaving the house most days.

Anxiety can leave you feeling stuck, alone, and miserable. Through my own journey I was able to face these fears, and live life on my own terms. I am passionate about helping others overcome their fears as well.

If You’re Here, You Might Be Tired Of…

Overthinking and second-guessing yourself
Feeling on edge, tense, irritable, or “wired” even when things are fine
Racing thoughts at night, trouble sleeping, or waking up anxious
Reassurance-seeking, checking, or mentally reviewing “just in case”
Avoiding situations because the anxiety feels too big
Feeling a constant sense of dread something bad will happen
Physical symptoms like tight muscles, stomach pain or fatigue
People-pleasing or perfectionism that looks “high functioning,” but feels exhausting
Panic symptoms (tight chest, shortness of breath, dizziness, nausea, tingling)
A constant sense that you should be doing more, being better, or getting it “right”

If any of this fits, therapy can be a place where you feel safe and don’t have to perform. Anxiety can be incredibly isolating. It often makes you feel like you’re the only lying awake at night unable to get over things, while others seem to be able to just brush things off. You might wonder if something is wrong with you, or why it feels so hard to function when everything “should” be fine.

The reality is, you’re far from alone. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health conditions and are highly treatable. You can learn to be yourself, and break out of cycles that are holding you back. We take an individualized approach to help you get lasting relief

Anxiety can affect every area of your life, your relationships, sleep, work, and ability to enjoy daily moments.

You don’t need to be having panic attacks to “qualify” for anxiety therapy. Many people experience anxiety as:

Generalized anxiety (persistent worry, mental fatigue)
Social anxiety (fear of judgment, avoidance, self-consciousness)
Panic (sudden surges of fear and physical symptoms)
Health anxiety (hyper-focusing on sensations, reassurance-seeking)
Relationship anxiety (fear of loss, constant checking of feelings or reassurance)
Perfectionism and “high functioning” anxiety (achievement-driven, internally relentless)
Stress overload and burnout (irritability, shutdown, dread, inability to rest)

If you’re unsure what “type” of anxiety it is, that’s okay. We’ll sort that out together. If you are struggling with stress, worry, anxiety, or full-blown panic attacks, you are not alone. Each year, nearly 40 million adults are diagnosed with anxiety. No matter what you’re going through now, you deserve to feel calm, at peace, and happy with your life. With the right guidance, it is possible to move from just surviving to thriving.
