COMPASSIONATE, COLLABORATIVE ANXIETY THERAPY FOR WOMEN
Your journey to calm starts here.
At times it feels like no matter how hard you try, your mind never quite shuts off. You're tired of the racing thoughts, the constant worry, and the "what-ifs" that get in the way of enjoying your life. Even when things seem calm on the outside, inside, it can feel like you’re always preparing for something to go wrong.
At Embodied Empowerment, we provide anxiety therapy to women who are ready to take control over anxiety symptoms that are impacting their lives. Our experienced anxiety therapists take an individualized and holistic approach to anxiety treatment, drawing on a range of evidence-based modalities to help you meet your goals. Through techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), and Mindfulness-Based Therapy, we will help you challenge negative thought patterns that fuel anxiety and learn to feel more grounded in the present moment.
ANXIETY THERAPY FOR WOMEN IN TEMPE, PHOENIX, AND THROUGHOUT ARIZONA
How We Can Help
Our experienced anxiety therapists are expertly trained to work collaboratively with our clients to address concerns including but not limited to:
Generalized Anxiety
Overwhelming fear or worry about everyday issues like work or relationships that doesn’t go away even when there isn’t a clear cause for concern. This kind of anxiety can lead to persistent feelings of being on-edge, difficulty concentrating, and fatigue.
"High Functioning" Anxiety
While life might look great on paper, you’re exhausted from the constant struggle of trying to do it all. Underneath the constant drive for achievement and success, you’re struggling with fears of failure, self-doubt, and unrealistically high expectations.
Panic Attacks
Sudden, intense experiences of fear or a sense of impending danger, often accompanied by physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, and dizziness. Panic attacks can feel out of your control and lead to avoidance of situations where another episode might occur.
Chronic or Excessive Worry
Anxious over-thinkers struggle to turn their minds “off,” constantly replaying scenarios in their minds, while fixating on potential outcomes and worst-case scenarios. This persistent rumination can lead to feelings of overwhelm, stress, and difficulty making decisions.
Political and Environmental Anxiety
Emotional distress, worry, or fear triggered by political events, climate change, or general societal instability. It can feel personal, like your identity, safety, or future is under threat, or more global, like the world is spinning out of control.
Food and Body Anxiety
Never ending concerns about food or your body make it hard to focus on the present moment. It's impossible to turn off the noise- whether you're focused on what you're eating, what you look like, or what sensations you're feeling in your body.

What is Anxiety?
Anxiety can be described as persistent fear or worry that doesn’t go away and often gets worse over time. It often shows up as a sense of dread, negative thoughts, unrealistic expectations, feelings of restlessness, inability to relax, indecisiveness, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. Persistent anxiety can impact your relationships, body image, work performance, and self-confidence. Over time you may notice that your anxiety is leading to isolation, disrupted sleep, repetitive behaviors, avoidance, or physical health concerns.
Signs and Symptoms of Anxiety in Women
Anxiety Therapy May Help if You Notice Any of the Following:
- You have a hard time relaxing, making decisions, or letting go of unrealistic expectations
- You feel like you’re doing everything right only to stay stuck in the same place
- Excessive worry or fear has been getting in the way of achieving your goals
- Your sleep, eating, or exercise patterns have been disrupted by worry or panic
- You have a hard time setting realistic expectations of yourself or others
- You are noticing physical symptoms, like muscle tension or indigestion, due to worry
- Anxiety and stress over your work/school performance is leading to overwhelm and burnout
How Therapy For Anxiety Can Help
Therapy is a safe, supportive space where you can show up as your authentic self and talk about the fears that are keeping you stuck. As we work together, our highly experienced therapists will provide feedback, suggestions, and some new perspectives that can help you to shift out of patterns that have kept you feeling unfulfilled.
Why See an Anxiety Therapist who Specializes in Women's Mental Health?
Our therapists can provide you with support in ways that generalized therapy may otherwise overlook, or at times even invalidate. Our approach to treatment recognizes the ways that relational, societal, environmental, and biological factors will have on how you feel about yourself and engage in your relationships. By recognizing that your anxiety may be greatly impacted by the way you have been perceived or treated within your body and relationships, an women's mental health specialist can help ensure that your needs are understood, acknowledged, and addressed in a way that feels authentic to you.
