Therapy for Anxiety
Virtual and In-person Therapy in California
“When did you learn you had to perform to be enough and be loved?”
Erika Klara, LMFT
I'm comin' in hot...with a side of worry.
People often toss around phrases like 'You worry too much' or 'You just need to relax,' as if calming down is as simple as pressing a button.
Most people in your life will never truly understand the challenges of living with an overactive anxious mind.
Battling your brain 24/7—let's be real, there's no break from the racing thoughts, not even in your sleep.
Trying to relax or sleep with anxiety should be an Olympic sport, dealing with thoughts that bounce around in your head like a never-ending game of ping-pong.
Shake It Off (Anxiety Remix)
Lemme paint a picture for you…three months into therapy, you and your therapist share a moment of realization, acknowledging the profound changes that have unfolded.
The anxiety, that was once an unwelcome guest taking every chance to throw you off, is no longer calling the shots.
Your sick leave hours at work are accumulating like there's no tomorrow! You haven't called in sick in ages.
Just one of the many perks that come with a happier, healthier you!
Us against your Anxiety
Think of me as your guide to becoming a pro at this whole 'change thing.'
After the work we do, you'll feel like you could teach a masterclass on navigating life's twists and turns.
As your therapist, my focus is on helping you grasp the 'why' behind your experiences.
I bring playfulness into our sessions, infusing a sense of lightness, and I often use metaphors to create a deeper understanding.
I've got a ton of metaphors, and if you're curious about my grandfather clock metaphor, I'd be delighted to share it with you!
This therapy is meant for you if….
Transitions are deeply unsettling to you
Lately things feel more and more out of control
Worrying is something you’ve become really good at
You’re feeling uneasy, ready to jump out of your skin
Anxiety is jeopardizing your job and social life (all those sick days)
Stress always seems to find you
During our sessions together we will:
Find the signal of anxiety, where is it coming from, the thought
Understand the anxiety
Interrupt the anxiety
Soothe the anxiety
Calm your body down, your mind follows your body
Start working on and shifting thoughts to prevent anxiety triggers
