Therapy for Anxiety in Franklin, TN
Our anxiety treatment philosophy
Many people across the world struggle with anxiety. You may worry about what others think of you in social settings or overthink work responsibilities. Perhaps you experience difficulty concentrating or ruminate on conversations you’ve had with a friend or loved one. Maybe you live in a state of “worst-case scenario” situations. Regardless of how you experience anxiety, you deserve appropriate treatment. Psychotherapy can shift our relationship to our anxiety by supporting us in addressing faulty thinking, developing mindfulness and grounding skills, building our support system, and learning to tolerate uncertainty.

- cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
