Counseling for Anxiety
Occasional anxiety is an expected part of life. You might feel anxious when faced with a problem at work, before taking a test, or before making an important decision. Anxiety can feel unmanageable when it involves more than temporary worry or fear. You may want to ask for help when the anxiety does not go away and can get worse over time and the symptoms interfere with daily activities such as job performance, school work, and relationships.
