From the outside, it might seem like you have everything under control. But that’s not how you feel at all. Your mind is constantly racing with anxious thoughts and worst-case scenarios, making it hard to focus, sleep, and enjoy life. If you’re tired of having anxiety run the show, we can help!
Living with anxiety can be an isolating experience, but you’re far from alone. Research shows that anxiety disorders are the most common mental health condition in the U.S., affecting 19.1% of the population—around 40 million adults. Unfortunately, while anxiety issues are highly treatable, only 36.9% of those struggling receive treatment.
At our Deerfield counseling practice, we specialize in anxiety therapy, providing a supportive space to explore what’s fueling your anxious thoughts, build resilience, and develop tools to manage stress in a way that truly works for you. Over time, you’ll feel more confident, present, and connected to yourself and the world around you.
Experiencing anxiety is a normal part of life—something we’ve inherited from our ancestors to keep us safe. But when it becomes overwhelming and persistent, it may be a sign of a more serious condition.
Anxiety disorders involve excessive fear and dread about everyday situations—often out of proportion to the actual risk—and can significantly interfere with daily life.
Some common symptoms of anxiety include:
Feeling restless, on edge, or unable to relax.
Difficulty concentrating or feeling like your mind goes blank.
Trouble sleeping, including difficulty falling or staying asleep.
Physical symptoms like a racing heart, trembling, sweating, or gastrointestinal issues.
Avoiding situations or places that trigger anxiety.
Frequent rumination: dwelling on negative experiences or overanalyzing situations.
Constantly seeking reassurance from others or fearing they are upset with you.
Don’t let anxiety run your life! You have the strength to break free and move toward the life you deserve—and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Maybe you’re juggling overwhelming stressors—family issues, work pressures, or life transitions—or perhaps anxiety sneaks up on you with no clear cause, leaving you feeling powerless.
As therapists specializing in anxiety, we believe you are the expert in your own life.
Our goal is to create a collaborative, trusting relationship built on mutual respect—one where you feel safe, supported, and truly heard. We’ll walk alongside you to help you achieve meaningful growth and change.
We take a multi-faceted approach to anxiety counseling, drawing from a variety of evidence-based modalities to support your healing.
Some of the approaches we incorporate include:
Understanding how anxiety affects your nervous system can help you identify triggers and develop strategies to regulate stress responses.
By focusing on the present moment and accepting thoughts and feelings without judgment, you can redirect your energy toward healing.
Challenging negative thoughts and beliefs allows you to separate facts from feelings and refute irrational worries.
Gaining insight into the origins of your anxiety can empower you to develop healthier ways of coping.
Grounding and breathing exercises help anchor you in the present, reducing anxiety’s hold over your thoughts.
Prioritizing good sleep, nutrition, and overall well-being supports your progress and strengthens resilience.
In anxiety therapy at Ammirati Counseling Group, we want to empower you to take back control from anxiety. Our specialized therapists will provide practical tools to manage anxious thoughts, normalize your experience, and help you move through life with greater confidence and ease.
Looking for anxiety treatment in Deerfield, Bannockburn, or the North Chicagoland area? Taking the first step can feel overwhelming, but we’re here to guide you through it with care and understanding.
We start by identifying your most challenging symptoms so we can provide immediate relief through effective coping strategies. Exploring your family history can also offer insight into whether your anxiety is connected to past experiences or relationships.
As therapy progresses, we’ll shift toward interventions that focus on lasting change and help you reshape how you see yourself and the world.
Therapy isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about lasting change. We focus on building a trusting, long-term relationship that supports your journey toward your authentic self.
Many clients start noticing positive shifts within the first few sessions, but the timeline depends on your unique needs and goals. You and your therapist will determine what works best for you.
No, that’s not required. If in-person sessions aren’t feasible for you—due to location, work, or schedule constraints—our therapists at Ammirati Counseling Group offer online therapy (teletherapy), allowing you to receive support from the comfort of your own home.
Anxiety is a natural response to perceived threats—it’s wired into us for survival. Although worrying about stressful things is normal, when it starts interfering with your well-being and everyday life, it becomes a serious concern.
Anxiety disorder treatment helps you regain control by providing tools to manage your symptoms. Whether you struggle with social anxiety, perfectionism, or generalized anxiety, therapy can improve your overall quality of life.
Even if you’re used to solving problems on your own, anxiety can be difficult to manage without professional support. Friends and family mean well, but they lack the expertise and objectivity to help in the way you truly need.
If you often take on a caregiving role for others, it may feel especially hard to open up about your own struggles. But vulnerability isn’t a weakness—it’s part of being human.
A skilled therapist can provide the practical tools, compassionate support, and guidance to help you feel more grounded and in control.
While medication can be beneficial in some cases, that’s not the focus of our treatment. Therapy alone is often highly effective in managing anxiety. The decision to take medication is a personal one, made between you and your doctor.
If you choose to include medication in your treatment plan, we can support you alongside it—while focusing on practical tools and strategies for lasting relief.
