Being a woman in today’s world is tough.

Women face various societal, cultural, and personal pressures that can contribute to the difficulties they may encounter. Some pressures can be things like scary experiences, long-lasting stress, a family history of anxiety, how our brains work, and certain medical conditions. These factors can all play a part in why women may develop anxiety.

Maybe you’re noticing:

  • persistent and intrusive worries about various aspects of your life, such as work, relationships, health, or future events

  • struggles with social situations, feeling self-conscious, judged, or scrutinized by others

  • significant stress, self-criticism, and a constant fear of failure or not meeting expectations

  • doubt towards abilities, questioning your worth, and experience feelings of inadequacy

  • difficulties in expressing emotions, relationship communication problems, or a fear of abandonment.

Don't let anxiety hold you back from experiencing life.

Individual therapy for Women

Anxiety can show up in different ways, like worrying a lot, having fast thoughts, feeling restless, and having trouble focusing. It can also cause physical symptoms such as a fast heartbeat or feeling out of breath. Women may experience anxiety because of things like pregnancy, after having a baby, going through menopause, or trying to balance work, family, and personal life.

Anxiety is a common feeling of worry and fear that happens when we're stressed or feel in danger. It can vary in how strong and long it lasts. Sometimes it's normal to feel anxious, but if it happens a lot and affects our daily life, it can be a huge challenge to manage.
