We have no doubt that you are an intelligent, resourceful, and successful person. In fact, we’d venture to guess that many people come to you when they are experiencing problems. As such, you may be putting additional pressure on yourself to address your anxiety without help.But we are here to tell you that going to a therapist for your anxiety will not turn you into a dependent, incapable person. Just the opposite is true, as therapy can empower you to become more independent, confident, and self-assured. Our job as therapists is to help you build your toolbox and strengths, and anxiety treatment is a chance for you to learn how to problem-solve effectively.
