Anxiety Therapy in La Grange and throughout Illinois
Does it feel like you’re running on empty, holding everything together—but barely?
On the outside, you seem like you’ve got it handled. You push through, stay busy, and keep things moving. But under the surface, stress is building. You’re constantly on edge, waiting for the next thing to go wrong. No matter how hard you work or how much you accomplish, it never feels like enough.
It feels like one wrong move could send everything crashing down.
If one thing goes wrong, it will throw off your whole day and the worry and anxious thoughts take over…
That workout you planned? Not happening.
That healthy meal you prepped? Forgotten or swapped for whatever’s easiest.
That time to unwind? Gone. Instead, you retreat—to your phone, zoning out, or replaying the day’s worst moments on loop.
Anxiety doesn’t always look like worry—it can look like:
The need for order and control
Overplanning for things that haven’t (and might not) happen
Irritability, frustration, or anger
Sensory overload and exhaustion
Sleep issues—too much, too little, never feeling rested
Apathy—things you once cared about feel unimportant
Constant self-criticism and feeling like you’re falling behind
You’re at the end of your rope and you just want to feel better

FAQs

There are definitely seasons of life that are more stressful and are filled with more worry (shout out to my new moms). But being in a constant state of stress isn’t healthy. Over the past few years, we have been surrounded by more stress. There are certain aspects of people that make them more susceptible to feeling symptoms of stress and anxiety. These are important areas to identify in the beginning of our sessions. But it doesn’t always have to be this way just because it’s always been this way. Learn more.

I think of stress as an external experience and anxiety as an internal experience. There is, of course, the internal stress that the body experiences during a disturbing or stressful event that we would explore, but overall, I see anxiety and its symptoms as a person’s reaction to stress. If there is an increase in stress, a person’s worry, appetite, and sleep might change. That being said, if a person is able to use skills to manage their worry and are working on their sleep habits (i.e. their anxiety symptoms) the stressful event or situation may not feel as anxiety provoking. Through therapy, a person can enter change from many angles.
