Anxiety Therapy in Hershey

Is Anxiety Running The Show?

Do you find yourself frequently worrying and feeling lost in your own head?

Are you constantly overthinking, replaying conversations, or afraid that something bad is about to happen?

Is it challenging for you to attend social events because you convince yourself that you’re not well-liked or accepted, even when you are?

Anxiety isn’t just about dealing with stress; it’s a part of a larger human experience. While everyone goes through periods of anxiety from time to time, these symptoms can really limit your quality of life if they become a constant presence.

In a healthy emotional state, anxiety can be used as a tool to protect you from unideal circumstances. However, when your anxiety becomes overbearing, it can leave you feeling stuck, affecting your overall mood, behavior, and wellbeing.

The longer anxiety goes unaddressed, the more challenging it can feel to manage its symptoms. This is why therapy makes a world of difference, giving you the skills, tools, and insights to manage anxiety effectively in everyday life.

Anxiety Manifests Differently In Every One Of Us

Anxiety is a human experience that we all must endure. In small doses, anxiety can actually be a means of protecting us from danger because it can help us prepare for stressful situations and motivate us to perform well when it matters.

In today’s world, however, anxiety has become a chronic condition for millions of people. Between high-stress work environments, a constantly connected digital world, and pressure to always stay productive, it’s no wonder anxiety has gone from a survival mechanism to a worldwide affliction.

The truth is that anxiety manifests differently in everyone—and everyone reacts in their own unique ways. And when your nervous system doesn’t have the adequate time to regulate, it can remain in fight-or-flight mode, the same way a prey animal responds when it is confronted with a dangerous predator.

Because of the chronic worry, panic, and rumination that you’re going through in your mind, your nervous system probably isn’t getting the reprieve that it needs. In turn, the constant stress led on by anxiety can lead to physical symptoms like heart palpitations, headaches, muscle tension, and shortness of breath.

If you’ve been experiencing these symptoms for a prolonged period, you’re probably in need of relief. When you’re struggling like this on your own, it can be easy to feel like you’re drowning—just trying to keep your head above water. Therapy can help you make sense of your anxiety by offering you tools to help you manage it so that you can move forward with better balance, awareness, and confidence.

Therapy With Tice Counseling & Wellness Can Help You Find Relief From Your Anxiety

No matter what you’re going through, our therapists at Tice Counseling & Wellness will collaborate with you to figure out the best ways to properly treat your anxiety. We have a diverse range of specialists that can address many different types of anxiety in therapy, including:

- Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
- Panic Disorder
- Social Anxiety Disorder
- Phobias
- Dissociation
- Separation Anxiety

Our goal is to focus not only on managing your anxiety symptoms but also understanding the triggers that spark them. Our hope is that with deeper insight, you will feel less surprised when your anxiety rises because you’ll have a stronger foundation built on being aware and in-tune with your emotions and behavior.

What To Expect In Anxiety Therapy With Tice Counseling & Wellness

In anxiety therapy, we aim to build a safe environment for you to be open and honest about your struggles, so that we can work together on figuring out how to manage them. Depending on your needs, therapy sessions can offer a wide range of options to treat your anxiety.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help you identify the connection between your negative thoughts, feelings, and actions, allowing you to understand the situations that trigger your anxiety. This will give you insight and strategies to help you identify these feelings in real time, so that you can respond to them in healthier, more effective ways.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) helps you understand the link between how you feel and behave in distressing situations. By learning more about the causes that drive your anxiety, you can gain valuable skills for regulating your emotions. You’ll be able to move through uncomfortable situations without being completely overtaken by them, allowing for greater clarity and confidence moving forward.

We can also draw from somatic work to release tension that’s stored in your body. If you’re hindered by the physical symptoms of anxiety, we offer mindfulness practices, grounding techniques, and breathwork that’s focused on calming the body and regulating your nervous system.

At Tice Counseling & Wellness, our therapists believe that anxiety is an aspect of what makes us human—but it doesn’t have to define who we are. Therapy can help you minimize the negative thought patterns that your anxiety causes, so that you can listen, learn, and grow from every experience that you encounter.

Common Questions And Concerns About Anxiety Therapy…

I don’t know if I can fit anxiety therapy into my already busy schedule.

At Tice Counseling & Wellness, we understand how busy life can get. And while we know you can’t ever get your time back—you can choose how you spend it. Putting forth some time for your own wellbeing can have a powerful return on investment. This is why we offer in-person and virtual therapy sessions with flexible scheduling options, to make finding time to treat your anxiety as easy and worry-free as possible.

I’ve tried therapy for my anxiety before, and it didn’t help. How will this be different?

It’s frustrating to show up, put forth real effort, and still feel stuck. If your previous experience with therapy felt like a dead end, it’s not because you’re “unfixable.” The approach and connection just weren’t aligned for what you were seeking at the time.

Our practice prioritizes finding a personal connection between you and your therapist. We try to get to know you so that we can adapt our methods to best fit how you learn and function. Our counselors each offer a fresh, individual perspective so that no matter who you are, or where you are on your journey, we’ll be able to validate your story and put you on the right track toward healing.

Why can’t I handle my anxiety on my own?

Anxiety has a way of convincing you that you are alone in your fight for peace. While you may have learned to cope with your anxiety in some capacity, managing all your symptoms without the proper support of a therapist can feel overwhelming.

This is why we collaborate with you to tailor treatment to best suit your needs and goals. Our team will do everything we can to show you that we’re in your corner, offering the support you need so that you can feel empowered to grow and find balance.
