Anxiety Therapy & Panic Disorder Treatment in Nashville, Tennessee
Anxiety is the most common mental health concern in the world yet often the most misunderstood. If you are seeking anxiety therapy in Nashville, I want to go beyond just treating your symptoms and help you reach lasting change in 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
- Rumination, thought looping, and decision paralysis
- Perfectionism and self-criticism
- Racing heart, tight chest, stomach upset, insomnia and/or shallow breathing
- Catastrophizing about the future
- Avoiding situations, people, or conversations that trigger discomfort
- Feeling irritable, on edge, or exhausted
- A desire to slow down, without having the first clue how
- Panic attacks, and/or panic about panic after experiencing a panic attack
Areas of Support for Anxiety & Panic
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.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
OCD is different from anxiety, but is often packaged in a similar experience and can occur with panic attacks. It involves intrusive, unwanted thoughts and repetitive behaviors or compulsions designed to temporarily relieve the anxiety the intrusions create.
Healing from Anxiety & Panic is Possible
When we can learn to get comfortable with the uncomfortable, healing and transformation take shape.
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 to feel secure. Attachment-based therapy helps you understand, overcome and gently rewire those early lessons. Additionally, you will learn to self-sooth and self-regulate with safe others, an incredible powerful combination for anxiety treatment.
Compassion-Focused & 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 integrated narrative about who you are.
What if you could feel at home in yourself again?
Whether you’ve been managing anxiety your whole life or panic attacks have just recently taken the drivers seat, you don’t have to feel this way forever. Reach out for a free 15-minute consultation for anxiety therapy in Nashville.
