Anxiety Therapy & Panic Disorder Treatment in Nashville, Tennessee
Anxiety is the most common mental health concern in the world, and often the most misunderstood. If you are seeking anxiety therapy in Nashville, what if you didn’t just treat your symptoms, but transformed your relationship to mind, your body and the world around you?
Anxiety therapy might be right for you if you are ready to feel safe, secure and at home in your mind and body again.
Anxiety takes many shapes. Yours might look like:
- Difficulty resting, concentrating or sitting still
- Racing heart, tight chest, stomach upset, insomnia and/or shallow breathing
- Perfectionism and self-criticism
- Catastrophizing about the future
- Rumination, difficulty concentrating and decision paralysis
- Avoiding situations, people, or conversations that trigger discomfort
- A desire to slow down, without having the first clue how
- Feeling irritable, on edge, or constnatly exhausted
- Panic attacks, and/or panic about panic after experiencing a panic attack
Types of Anxiety I Work With
I provide anxiety therapy in Nashville for women and music industry professionals navigating a range of experiences, including:
High-Functioning Anxiety
High-functioning anxiety is one of the most common presentations I see. It’s the anxiety that often looks like success from the outside, keeping you productive, over-prepared, and pleasing others while simultaneously exhausting you.
Panic Attacks & Panic Disorder
Panic attacks are frightening and might feel completely out of nowhere. They can increasingly shape how you live your life and even develop into panic disorder (the fear of panic), leaving you always wondering when your next attack will be.
Perfectionism
Perfectionism is anxiety wearing a productive mask. A powerful inner critic might be silently running your life, leading to a fear of failure, inability to feel satisfied with your efforts, and overall impacting how you view your sense of self.
Health Anxiety
Health anxiety involves persistent worry or rumination around having a serious illness, often despite reassurance from doctors. It can be all-consuming and isolating, and keep you in a cycle of fear and reassurance-seeking.
Social Anxiety
Social anxiety is a persistent fear of judgment, embarrassment, or rejection that can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming and exhausting.
OCD
OCD involves intrusive, unwanted thoughts and repetitive behaviors or compulsions designed to manage the anxiety the intrusive thoughts create.
What to Expect for Anxiety Therapy with Julia
I don’t want to simply manage your anxiety or panic symptoms. I want to help you overcome your anxiety so you can live fully.
ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy):
Rather than fighting, resisting or avoiding your anxious thoughts, ACT helps you change your relationship with them by shifting your response from over-identification to observation and incorporating essential mindfulness and grounding techniques.
EMDR & Brainspotting
When anxiety has roots in past experiences or even trauma, EMDR and Brainspotting help process those underlying experiences so they lose their grip on your nervous system. This is especially helpful for when anxiety has not budged from talk therapy alone.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Anxiety can originate in our early relational experiences, from learning that the world wasn’t safe, the people around you can’t be trusted, or that you had to please others or be perfect to be secure. Attachment-based therapy helps you understand, overcome and gently rewire those early lessons.
Compassion-Focused Therapy & Narrative Therapy:
Anxiety can be narrated by a harsh inner critic. Compassion-focused therapy combined with narrative therapy helps you rewrite the unhelpful story anxiety has told you about yourself and the world around you and transform into a curious, compassionate and interconnected narrative about who you are.
