Who Needs Treatment?

You or your loved one may need treatment to deal with anxiety if you experience symptoms of anxiety on a level or at a frequency that it’s disruptive to everyday life. If you’ve changed your habits to deal with what feels like anxiety, seeking treatment or seeking to understand why you’re struggling with symptoms of clinical anxiety may be right for you. Treatment for other mental health struggles that exacerbate anxiety symptoms may also help. No matter why or how your anxiety started, there is a path to recovery.

Types of Anxiety

Anxiety is more than just feeling worried or stressed. It’s a complex mental health condition characterized by persistent, excessive worry and fear. That being said, anxiety doesn’t present the same way for everyone. There are several types of anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and social anxiety disorder. Each type has unique symptoms and triggers, but all can significantly impair one’s quality of life. care, respect, and confidentiality as you navigate your path to recovery.

Personalized Care

By considering the unique factors affecting women’s mental health, we can provide a more personalized and effective treatment approach.

Empathetic Understanding

In a women-focused environment, you’ll be surrounded by others who understand your experiences, creating a supportive and empathetic atmosphere.

Comprehensive Approach

Our female-focused treatment takes into account the whole woman, including her physical, emotional, and social needs.

Empowerment

A gender-specific environment can also empower women, fostering a sense of community, shared understanding, and mutual support.

Women are more than twice as likely as men to suffer from anxiety disorders – but that comes as no surprise when you understand the experience of being a woman. At Grace & Emerge, we treat anxiety as both a mental health struggle in itself and as a symptom of the disconnection, lack of identity, and pains that women can suffer from in our world today without help and support. Anxiety is commonly a co-occurring mental health disorder, meaning that its symptoms in young women are often indivisible from symptoms of other mental health problems or disorders that affect them.

Anxiety & Depression

Studies show that up to 60% of people who suffer from debilitating anxiety also struggle with co-occurring depression. Though we don’t know exactly how the two interact in someone’s brain, we understand that the fear, trauma, and pressure of being a woman in our society can be daunting – and when anxiety makes it even harder to function, the inability to keep up with life or face countless fears can lead to losing the will to live, feelings of hopelessness, deep shame, and persistent sadness and emptiness in someone’s life. At Grace & Emerge, we heal both from the inside out so you can find your new life.

Anxiety & Disordered Eating

Women often turn to disordered eating, either knowingly or unknowingly, as a way of controlling and regulating other mental health issues that they don’t have a healthy outlet or coping mechanism to handle. Studies show that over 50% of adults who meet the criteria for an eating disorder also struggle with a major co-occuring mental health issue like anxiety or depression. Recovery from both is possible – by regaining the connection, community, and inner peace that allows young women to find their own healing and a path to real recovery.

Anxiety & Substance Use

Young women are more likely than any other demographic to begin substance use as a coping mechanism – and more likely to struggle with addiction in silence and secret. Whether substance use or anxiety came first, they are indivisibly linked in most women’s lives as they carry the burden of shame, social stigmas, and fear of addiction’s impact on their life. We treat mental health disorders like anxiety and substance use with a dual-diagnosis approach because we know one can’t be healed without the other.

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy, a core component of our anxiety treatment, provides a safe and private setting for you to explore your experiences, thoughts, and feelings. Our compassionate therapists utilize evidence-based methods to help you understand and manage your anxiety.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

In Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, our therapists guide you to recognize and address the negative thought patterns that contribute to your anxiety. This hands-on, practical approach encourages you to challenge and change these patterns, providing a foundation for healthier thinking and behavior.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is a groundbreaking psychotherapy particularly effective for individuals whose anxiety stems from traumatic experiences or who are struggling with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Through bilateral stimulation of the brain, this therapy aids in the processing and reducing the emotional distress tied to your traumatic memories, significantly decreasing anxiety symptoms and stressors.

Group Therapy

Our group therapy sessions provide a supportive environment where you can connect with others who are also navigating their journey with anxiety. By sharing experiences, insights, and coping strategies, you can gain new perspectives and feel less isolated in your struggle.

Holistic Therapies:

We understand that mental health is intertwined with physical and spiritual well-being. To address these aspects, we incorporate holistic therapies into our treatment programs. These include:

Yoga: Our therapeutic yoga sessions are designed to enhance the mind-body connection, reduce stress, and promote relaxation.
Meditation: Our guided meditation classes help cultivate mindfulness, a practice that can reduce anxiety by grounding you in the present moment and reducing negative rumination.
Nutritional Counseling: As part of our holistic approach, we offer nutritional counseling. A balanced diet can positively impact your mood and energy levels, providing additional support in managing anxiety.
