Therapy for Anxiety in Los Angeles CA
When Your Mind Won't Stop & Your Body Can’t Calm
Your brain feels like it has 37 browser tabs open at all times, and half of them are playing disaster scenarios on repeat. You're exhausted from the constant mental chatter, the what-ifs that spiral into worst-case situations, and the way your body feels ready to run from danger that isn't actually there.
Maybe you're the friend everyone sees as "having it together" while secretly checking your phone obsessively, replaying conversations, or lying awake at 2am convinced you've messed up everything. Your anxiety might cause you to avoid situations that used to feel normal- declining invites, putting off important conversations, or procrastinating on things that matter to you. Your anxiety might show up as perfectionism that never feels good enough, or people-pleasing that leaves you feeling invisible in your own life.
The pressure to optimize every aspect of your existence feels overwhelming. Social media shows everyone else living their best life while you're struggling to get through Tuesday. You're tired of feeling like your nervous system is stuck in emergency mode, making mountains out of molehills and turning everyday situations into sources of stress. You want to feel calm in your own body, but your brain seems determined to find problems everywhere.
It doesn't have to stay this way. Imagine feeling at ease in your own skin, confident in your relationships, and actually excited about your life. That version of you is waiting- let's get started.

What will therapy for Anxiety be like?
Anxiety isn't a character flaw or something you need to just "get over"- it's your nervous system on overdrive trying to protect you in ways that aren’t quite working for your present day reality. All of the therapists at Ash & Blooms are trained to use a blend of approaches that address both the cognitive and physiological aspects of anxiety, helping you to heal anxiety at the root of the issue.
Using approaches like Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and somatic therapy, we'll help you understand what your anxiety is trying to tell you and teach your body how to feel safe, even in times of stress. Whether it’s perfectionism learned early in life, an inner critic that makes social interaction nearly unbearable, a deep seated fear of losing everything you’ve worked for, or poor stress management skills, we’ll help you to discover what caused the anxiety in the first place and help you to heal. You'll learn practical tools to calm your nervous system in the moment, while also addressing the deeper reasons why your brain defaults to worry mode.
This isn't about eliminating all stress- some worry is normal and even helpful. Instead, we'll help you develop a healthier relationship with uncertainty and teach you how to respond to anxious thoughts rather than getting totally hijacked by them. You'll discover how to trust yourself and your ability to handle whatever comes your way.
You deserve to feel relaxed in your own body. You deserve to make decisions from a place of clarity rather than fear. Your anxiety has been working overtime trying to keep you safe, but you don't have to live in constant preparation for disaster.
If you're tired of your mind running the show, if you want to stop checking your phone for validation, if you're ready to feel confident instead of constantly worried- then it's time to get support. You've already survived 100% of your worst days, and with the right tools, you can learn to thrive through uncertainty. Book a consultation today and let's start building the calm, confident life your anxious mind has been trying to protect.
