Y'all, this is SO normal and can feel so overwhelming and anxiety-provoking (great right? More anxiety while trying to support exactly that!)! You are never expected to walk in with a list of mental health conditions you want to work through. You don't even have to label what you're feeling, because honestly that would never cover your full and whole human experience. While we have specific treatment approaches in our skillset, individual therapy is all about figuring out what works for you and anxiety treatment depends on the mental health care you respond most to.

It's not uncommon that multiple types of therapy may be introduced over time, which could include a care team of referrals for additional support in group therapy, family therapy, and couples therapy depending on your needs. Your therapy experience and establishing a space where you know you're always getting the highest level of care for a high quality of life is what matters most to us.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely used type of talk therapy that helps a person’s ability to understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. Research shows that it is particularly effective for various treatment options for types of stress management, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), anxious thoughts and other types of anxiety disorders. It may be paired with approaches like exposure therapy and various other methods of psychotherapy for everything from processing a traumatic event to getting past a block on the way to what you want in life. 

CBT shows up in so many different ways and we keep adapting to meet the modern individual in this crazy world we live in. That’s why it’s not as straightforward as the American Psychiatric Association definition or what you might find on Google. It’s all about giving you the best quality of life and another tool we can tap into as we wrap you in support.

Part of caring for your whole person is ensuring we have a network readily available to you for anything you may need. Whether you need a specific health professional, support group, GP, psychiatrist, or resources for family members, your therapist will work hand-in-hand with you to make the strongest recommendations and ensure you're not left alone in your experience of exploring the best treatment for various types of anxiety, processing a traumatic experience, stress, and other experiences.

We understand that conversations about various types of medications such as benzodiazepine or antidepressants. We are always here to talk about these things with loving guidance and zero judgment if that's the right approach for you. That's part of surrounding you with care through Houston therapist anxiety support.

Yes! At Modern Therapy, we saw the way that people benefitted from having time to get in tune with their bodies, ground in the present moment, and learn mindfulness skills that create ongoing relief with coaching between therapy sessions. Our coaches are intertwined with our team of mental health professionals in weekly consultations and learning opportunities to broaden their care for our community whether coaching comes before, during, or after therapy. Gaining control of your anxiety can mean feeling aligned to your path and what really matters in all areas of your life. Coaching can help you gain resilience against fear thoughts and worry by carving that path forward one step at a time.

There’s so much to be said about how physical activity, how we nourish our bodies, and the way we approach self care (beyond the bubble baths people!) support anxiety and our coaches support you in all of these areas before, during, or after therapy.

We’re geeking out about some of our latest trainings, nerding out on things like Polyvagal Theory, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), somatic healing, and eye movements desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) coaching. Our passionate crew has an eye for growth (how coaching of them), and we can’t wait to bring these new learnings to session to empower self-trust and self-compassion with habit shifts and an empowering mindset to take control of your life in the way you want to.

Our team of heart-led and passionate therapists and coaches specialize in various areas of healing and growth to support your whole person, and create a safe environment to meet you exactly where you're at. Our goal is to leave you with a positive experience and the mental health treatment or coaching that feels like a natural extension of the way you care for yourself.

In addition to psychotherapy, we have a toolkit of relaxation techniques to support a person’s ability to combat side effects of stress and anxiety such as muscle tension, insomnia, dread, avoidance of social situations, and other health problems. Your coach or therapist will work with you specifically to find the most effective treatments, believing that a person's ability to heal or feel less "stuck" is unlocked when they feel safe, seen, understood, and supported.
