You feel more successful at work than you do in your personal life. You see stress as a regular part of your job, not a sign to take care of yourself. You feel ashamed for struggling. You overthink about what happened in the day, and run through scenarios on how you could have done something differently.
If you resonate with any of these, you're not alone. These are all everyday experiences that my clients share. Our unique generation has unique problems, and I've dedicated my life to helping millennial professionals just like you.
I specialize in helping millennial professionals feel self-assured and satisfied in their lives. I'm a millennial too, so I understand what you're going through.
During our time together, we'll come up with different coping strategies for daily stressors. But more importantly, we'll dig into the reasons why you feel the way you do to heal you from the inside-out. I want to help you get to the point where you don't need therapy anymore.
If you're ready to take this first step towards healing with me, contact me below to schedule a complimentary consultation.
I'm an exclusively online therapist.
In my experience, online therapy is an ideal fit for my millennial clients. We're busy! And I know that it's tough to accomplish even the littlest things when you're burnt out, so I want to make the therapeutic process as convenient as possible for you.
With online therapy, you can simply open your laptop right as our session begins. That means no commute and no scrolling through your phone as you wait for our session in a lobby. If you need to decompress after an intense session, you're in the comfort of your own home. On top of that, scheduling appointments and showing up is uncomplicated with online therapy.
If you think that online therapy might work for you, I encourage you to schedule a free consultation with me. We'll get to know each other and decide whether or not we're a good therapeutic fit.
FAQs
It's no secret: many millennials are anxious. Here, I go over common questions that my clients have about anxiety and anxiety therapy.
Anxiety manifests itself in a lot of different physical, psychological, and emotional ways. Common symptoms of anxiety include the following:
→ Irritability. Do you sometimes snap at people for no reason?
→ Tension. Are your shoulders, neck, back, or other parts of your body consistently tense and sore?
→ Constant worry. Do you lie awake at night stressing about your day? Are you excessively worried about things that other people aren't?
→ Difficulty concentrating. Do your worries distract you from the tasks at hand?
→ Fatigue. Are you consistently tired?
→ Panic attacks. Have you experienced any panic attacks?
→ Trouble sleeping. Are you lying awake at night ruminating about your day or worrying about tomorrow? All of these symptoms are common for people who struggle with anxiety.
Note that this isn't an exhaustive list; anxiety looks different for everyone.
Yes, there are a few different centers and resources for you in Ames.
→ The National Alliance on Mental Health (Iowa Chapter)
→ The National Alliance on Mental Health (for Greater Des Moines)
→ Iowa's Suicide Prevention Resource Centers
This isn't an exhaustive list, but a therapist in Ames can connect you with more resources.If you are contemplating suicide, call the National Suicide Hotline at 1-800-273-8255 immediately.
At a very high level, you can expect to discuss daily stressors, deeper triggers, your thought processes, and life circumstances during anxiety therapy. Things like:
→ Problematic relationships
→ Your work life
→ Emotionally-charged memories
→ Your goals
→ Homelife
→ And more.
Since it's our goal to manage or relieve your anxiety completely, we must discuss everything that contributes to your anxiety. If we only address the surface-level stuff, we won't treat your anxiety at its roots.
Anxiety therapy varies in cost depending on the therapist and type of treatment.
When considering the price, ask yourself this: do I want a bargain on my therapist? Or do I want an expert who knows precisely how to help me relieve my anxiety?
If possible, don't let cost be the #1 determining factor when choosing a therapist. Remember that therapy doesn't last forever: it's typically a finite amount of time, which means it's also a finite amount of money.
Ideally, no, you will not always have anxiety. It's my goal to work myself out of a job. I want you to leave our work together with total confidence in your life and the ability to manage your anxiety.
In my experience, if we can identify what's causing your anxiety, we can dramatically reduce your anxiety.
Unless you are in crisis, no, you don't technically need anxiety therapy. But since you're here, you are likely struggling with anxiety to the point that it's disrupting your life. If you're ready to be in charge of your life and live without the constant weight of anxiety, therapy is an excellent treatment.
There are many different ways to treat anxiety. In my opinion, many of these band-aid approaches don't address what is making you anxious. That's why anxiety therapy leads to long-lasting success: we address the deeper issues and don't temporarily make you feel better.
Starting is one of the hardest parts of therapy. I understand. If you're ready to take the brave next step of contacting me for a free consultation, I am too.
