Therapist in Rockland County, NY
Anxiety Counseling For Adults
Welcome to The Counseling Perch, a private practice with a specialized focus on anxiety counseling, therapy, and women’s mental health.
Being preoccupied with worries and anxiety leaves you feeling exhausted, tense, and uneasy. Juggling everyday responsibilities and trying to keep it all together, you find yourself in a cycle of anxiety that can wind you into knots.
Sometimes the worries are manageable and other times they are persistent, especially when stress arises, making things worse. Does this sound familiar?
Dealing with overwhelm and stress may be familiar but it does not have to rule your day.
Feeling more relaxed, settled and grounded is important to overall wellbeing. But, it can feel very strange if you are a driven person used to handling the many demands of life. You may manage school, work and family life despite the high pressure and even achieve pretty good results. As a result, you may begin to think that feeling anxious is par for the course.
In fact, not all anxiety leads to discomfort. But, if you are not feeling your best, are worrying in a way that makes you tired, stuck or constantly overthinking, you have come to the right place.

Not feeling good enough? Feeling like an imposter? Many people with perfectionism feel stuck in a battle of self-criticism and striving for perfection and self-improvement.
