5 Signs You Might Need Anxiety Therapy in Kansas City (And No, You're Not Crazy)
Look, if you're reading this, chances are your brain has been spinning like a hamster on a triple espresso. First of all—hi, welcome. Second of all—breathe. You're not broken, you're just overwhelmed… and I see you.
Anxiety has a way of sneaking into the party uninvited, rearranging the furniture in your brain, and making everything feel harder than it needs to be. The good news? You don’t have to keep doing life like this.
Let’s talk about five signs that it might be time to call in some professional backup (hey, that’s me 👋).
1. Your brain won’t ever shut up
You lie down at night and instead of relaxing, your mind opens 47 tabs like it’s training for a mental Olympics. Did I say the wrong thing at that meeting? What if my boss hates me? Should I start meditating again? Should I go to med school?!
If your brain is running the overthinking marathon daily, therapy can help you find the "off" switch—or at least the volume control.
2. You’re exhausted and you're not even doing that much
You're tired, but it's not the good kind of tired that comes from doing fun stuff like hiking or having fun with the girls for a glorious weekend. It’s the heavy, “I’ve been carrying invisible stress for years” kind of tired. Mental fatigue is real, and anxiety is a master at draining your energy without warning.
Spoiler alert: this is not your baseline. You don’t have to keep white-knuckling it through life.
3. You live in ‘What If’ Land
What if I fail? What if I embarrass myself? What if something bad happens? What if… [insert 94 more worst-case scenarios here].
If you’re spending more time catastrophizing than living, therapy can help you stop letting anxiety be the boss of your brain.
4. You’ve become a pro at people-pleasing and perfectionism
You say yes when you want to say no. You triple-check every email before you hit send. You beat yourself up if you don’t do everything just right.
Anxiety often wears a clever disguise—it looks like being “nice” or “responsible,” but underneath? You’re walking on eggshells trying not to mess anything up. That’s not peace. That’s anxiety getting the best of you!
5. You keep thinking, “Maybe it’s just me…”
It’s not just you. So many women in Kansas City (and everywhere, really) are dealing with anxious thoughts, overwhelm, and the quiet sense that they’re one small crisis away from losing it. You're not alone. And you definitely don’t have to keep pretending you’ve got it all together.
So... What Now?
If any of this hit a little too close to home, you would likely benefit from getting some support. Therapy isn’t just for when things are falling apart—it’s for when you’re ready to stop surviving and start actually feeling good… and the good news is… It doesn’t have to take years and years of therapy for you to feel better. Some of my client feel better in a handful of sessions to get the ball rolling.
I’m a Kansas City-based therapist who helps women release paralyzing anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and that constant sense of “not enough.” I offer free 15-minute consultations, and no—this isn’t a pressure-filled sales call. It’s a real convo to see if we’re a good fit.
You don’t need to have a full-blown breakdown to reach out.
Just a little voice inside saying “I don’t want to feel like this anymore” is more than enough.
