How Therapy can help Young Women Struggling with Anxiety

You Don’t Have to Carry This Alone

If you're a young woman feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, perfectionism, or self-doubt, you're not broken. You're exhausted. Therapy can help. I work with young adult women who look like they have it all together, but inside they’re struggling to breathe under the weight of worry.

What Can Anxiety Look Like for Young Women?

It’s not always panic attacks. It might be:

• Constant overthinking

• Fear of disappointing others

• Trouble sleeping or relaxing

• Racing thoughts during class or work

• Feeling like you’re never “enough”

Anxiety often hides behind high achievement and people-pleasing. But it doesn’t have to run your life.

How Therapy can Help

Therapy gives you a space to breathe and tools to begin to feel better.

1.First, we calm the nervous system.

Using mindfulness tools, I’ll help you build emotional regulation skills so you can feel more in control in your body and your mind.

2. Then, we challenge the inner critic.

With CBT, we’ll gently look at those harsh thoughts that say, “You’re not good enough,” and learn how to rewrite them with compassion.

3. Finally, we’ll heal the past.

If your anxiety is rooted in past wounds like a critical parent or toxic relationship, EMDR can help release the emotional charge so you can stop carrying it.
