If you have experienced anxiety you know it is a very uncomfortable and distressing condition.
Stress and anxiety symptoms can look different at various ages.
Perhaps your child:
- Refuses to sleep alone in their bed
- Has severe tantrums at the pediatrician’s office if they need a shot
- Excessively asks you for reassurance from monsters, severe weather, etc.
Maybe your teen:
- Refuses to go to school
- Has near fainting spells in sports or performance situations
- Avoids socializing because of fears of rejection or embarrassment
- Worries excessively about schoolwork and either over-studies or procrastinates
Or perhaps your college student:
- Compares themselves negatively to their peers
- Experiences severe test anxiety in the lead up to exams
- Isolates themselves socially and is avoiding dating
If so, the good news is I can help. With the guidance of a psychologist who specializes in anxiety treatment, your child can learn to face their fears, overcome challenges, and participate in activities they want to while learning how to decrease the uncomfortable anxiety symptoms.
