Anxiety Therapy In NYC & Brooklyn
You don’t have to let anxiety control your life.
If anxiety is getting in the way of feeling calm and present, you’re not alone. Lasting change comes from more than just managing symptoms.
Anxiety therapy may be right for you if you’re ready to feel steady, confident, and at ease again.
Types of Anxiety I Work With
Perfectionism
Perfectionism is anxiety disguised as productivity. A critical inner voice may quietly influence your decisions, creating a fear of failure, a constant struggle to feel satisfied with your efforts, and a persistent impact on how you see yourself.
Social Anxiety
Social anxiety is the intense worry that others are watching, judging, or criticizing you. It can make even simple conversations or daily interactions feel draining and overwhelming, leaving you stuck in self-consciousness and avoidance.
Generalized Anxiety
Generalized anxiety is the kind of worry that lingers quietly but constantly. It can make even ordinary decisions feel overwhelming, and everyday tasks feel heavier than they should. Your mind may replay scenarios, anticipate problems, or fixate on what could go wrong, leaving you feeling tense, drained, and unable to fully enjoy the present moment.
High-Functioning Anxiety
High-functioning anxiety is one of the most common presentations I see. It’s the anxiety that often looks like success from the outside, keeping you productive, over-prepared, and pleasing others while simultaneously exhausting you.
Panic Attacks & Panic Disorder
Panic attacks are frightening and might feel completely out of nowhere. They can increasingly shape how you live your life and even develop into panic disorder (the fear of panic), leaving you always wondering when your next attack will be.
What To Expect From Anxiety Therapy with Ellen:
Acceptance And Commitment Therapy
Instead of trying to suppress, avoid, or battle anxious thoughts, ACT focuses on changing how you relate to them. It encourages you to notice and observe your thoughts without becoming overwhelmed by them, while using mindfulness and grounding practices to stay present and engaged with your values.
compassion-focused and narrative therapy
Anxiety often speaks through a harsh inner critic. This approach helps you challenge that voice and reshape the story anxiety has created about you, encouraging a more compassionate, curious, and connected understanding of yourself and your experiences. It also helps you develop a kinder relationship with your thoughts and emotions.
