Counseling Services for Anxiety in Brooklyn
Helping You Tackle Daily Challenges and Build a Brighter Future
Many people reach out to Ridge Psychological because they’re dealing with anxiety. While feeling anxious is a normal response that can even keep you safe, sometimes it ends up controlling what you do. Whether you’re near our Park Slope or Bay Ridge offices or prefer virtual sessions, we’re here to support you no matter where you are in the New York area.
Is It Anxiety or Just Normal Worry?
Anxiety actually covers a range of conditions, including phobias, social anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and panic disorder. It’s natural to feel anxious in certain situations, but it becomes a problem when it starts to interfere with your everyday life. If your anxiety is holding you back or affecting you physically or emotionally, we can help. Common signs include:
- Constant, nagging worries and feelings of guilt
- A rapid heartbeat, sweating, chills, nausea, dry mouth, or muscle spasms
- Restlessness, fidgeting, or trembling
- Trouble concentrating or remembering details
- Quick shifts in mood and irritability
- Sleep troubles, such as difficulty falling or staying asleep
Getting Started
When you’re ready, simply give us a call, send an email, or book a phone consultation right away. Once you’ve made an appointment, we’ll send you some startup forms through a secure portal. Filling these out before you come in helps us understand your concerns from the start.
What to Expect During Your Counseling Sessions
At the beginning, we’ll chat about what’s been going on in your life. In your first few sessions, we’ll get to know each other, work together to identify the challenges you’re facing, and create a plan to move you toward a healthier, happier life. While there isn’t a quick “cure” for anxiety, partnering with a caring clinician can help you develop effective skills for managing it. We usually start with weekly sessions, and as you begin to feel more in control, we may shift to less frequent meetings.
We're here to support you every step of the way as you work toward a life where anxiety doesn't hold you back.
