Somatic therapy
Learning to notice and settle your body's stress response, so anxiety does not have to run the show.
Anxiety
Anxiety therapy that works with your mind and your body
Anxiety can show up as racing thoughts, a tight chest, or constant bracing. Therapy can help you understand it and feel steadier.
Where to begin
Anxiety is your nervous system trying to protect you
Anxiety is a natural alarm system. Sometimes it goes off too often, too loudly, or at the wrong times. You might notice worry that will not quiet down, trouble sleeping, irritability, or a body that never fully relaxes.
You do not need a diagnosis to start therapy. If anxiety is getting in the way of your life, that is reason enough.
Understanding it
How anxiety can show up
Anxiety looks different for everyone. For some people it is mostly in the mind: overthinking, what-ifs, and dread. For others it lives in the body: a racing heart, shallow breath, stomach trouble, or muscle tension that never lets go.
Related concerns include panic, social anxiety, performance anxiety, health worries, and perinatal anxiety. Our team works with many of these.

Questions people ask
Questions about anxiety therapy
What is the difference between stress and anxiety?
Stress is usually a response to a clear pressure and eases when it passes. Anxiety can continue without a clear trigger, or long after the pressure is gone. Both are worth support.
Will I need medication?
Repose therapists do not prescribe medication. Some people find medication helpful alongside therapy. Your therapist can talk with you about options and coordinate with your prescriber if you have one.
Can I do anxiety therapy online?
Yes. Many clients work on anxiety by video from home, anywhere in New York, New Jersey, or Connecticut.
