Why choose us for anxiety therapy in Southfield?

Healing from anxiety requires the right support system. Here's why our clients choose us—and why we could be a good fit for you.

  • Our therapists bring clinical experience in treating a variety of anxiety disorders including panic disorders, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and trauma-related anxiety for teens and adults. Using different evidence-based treatments like EMDR, CBT, DBT, and more, we can help you find lasting anxiety relief.

  • Access our mental health services from your safe space, whether that's at home in Southfield or elsewhere in Michigan. Virtual therapy eliminates stressors like traffic, crowded waiting rooms, and scheduling conflicts so you can focus on healing.

  • Finding a therapist you really connect with can help you get the most out of your time in counseling. Our thoughtful therapist matching process takes your anxiety symptoms, needs, goals, and personality into consideration.

  • We look beyond the surface to address your anxiety in a comprehensive, well-rounded way. From exploring physical symptoms to diving into anxiety's impact on your relationships, we want to get to the root so you can find lasting relief.

  • Unlike high-volume clinics, our intimate practice creates a calm, welcoming environment where the focus is on making care as accessible as possible. We provide unhurried, personalized therapy that adapts to your unique concerns and progresses at your pace.

Common reasons why people seek anxiety therapy

  • Overwhelming worry and racing thoughts

    Many clients seek help when chronic worrying feels out of control, like a mental hamster wheel that makes it hard to focus on daily tasks or enjoy the present moment. Therapy offers effective coping mechanisms to interrupt these thought patterns and reclaim mental clarity.

  • Physical symptoms that disrupt daily life

    Anxiety often shows up in the body through chest tightness, racing heartbeat, stomach issues, and sleep disturbances. Therapy addresses the mind-body connection and provides relief for these physical manifestations by getting to the deeper causes.

  • Panic attacks and sudden spikes in anxiety

    If you've ever had a panic attack, you know how terrifying and disruptive they can be. Beyond the attacks themselves, the fear of having another can lead to avoiding certain situations, impacting your quality of life. Therapy helps break this cycle so that your life is no longer controlled by fear.

  • Social anxiety and relationship difficulties

    Struggle with social interactions? Feel incredibly self-conscious around others? While these experiences can be debilitating, know that you're not alone. Therapy creates a safe space to process social anxiety, explore fears, and empower you to gradually build confidence in social settings.

  • Major life transitions and uncertainty

    Significant changes—such as starting college, changing careers, or going through a divorce—often trigger anxiety, even if you've never dealt with anxiety before. Therapy can give you support during these challenging times and help you navigate change with resilience.

  • Anxiety in teens

    Today's teens face intense pressures from academics, social media, and peer relationships. Many experience anxiety beyond typical teenage stress, showing up as problems in school or withdrawing from relationships and activities. We give teens a safe space to express concerns and develop coping strategies that honor their independence while offering guidance and support.

  • Trauma-related anxiety

    Past traumatic experiences can leave their mark in the form of chronic anxiety. Symptoms like hypervigilance, intrusive memories, and intense reactions to triggers can all be symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Our practice specializes in treating trauma so you can process past events and reduce their impact on your day-to-day life.

Is our practice right for you?

While we'd be honored to support your mental health journey, we recognize that our practice may not be the right fit in all situations. Here are some instances when we may recommend finding a different provider:

  • Active crisis situations

  • Looking for support with other mental health concerns, like bipolar disorder or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), or substance abuse

  • Need couples counseling, child therapy, or group therapy

  • Located outside of Michigan

FAQs about anxiety therapy

  • There's no one "best" therapy for anxiety—there are several thoroughly researched methods that can help. For example, check out this meta-analysis about the effectiveness of CBT for anxiety and this information about EMDR for anxiety.

    At Huffmaster Therapy Collective, we prioritize a customized therapy experience, meaning we blend different therapeutic approaches depending on your unique situation.

  • Most therapists are well-equipped to treat anxiety. From clinical social workers to professional counselors to psychologists, therapists have years of education and training in treating anxiety along with other mental health conditions.

    When it comes to choosing a therapist, credentials are only one piece of the puzzle. It's also important to find a therapist whose approach aligns with what resonates with you. Plus, we know that the therapeutic relationship is a vital part of effective therapy, so finding someone you connect with is key.

  • The short answer is: it depends.

    Many people find medication helpful on their anxiety journey. Sometimes, anxiety symptoms can be so intense that they impede a person's ability to make progress in therapy. In these cases, it can be a helpful adjunct to counseling.

    In many other situations, people find that addressing the root causes of anxiety through therapy dial their symptoms down significantly.

    Keep in mind that our practice offers mental health counseling exclusively—not medication management. If you and your therapist think you could benefit from medication, we'll provide a referral.
