When anxiety starts taking up too much space
You may notice yourself replaying conversations, preparing for the worst, avoiding situations that feel uncomfortable, or holding yourself to exhausting standards. Social anxiety, specific fears, and ongoing stress can affect people differently. You do not need to arrive with a diagnosis or a perfect explanation of what is wrong before asking for support.
A relationship-centered approach
Therapy begins with understanding your experiences, relationships, and goals. Dr. Chattha’s approach is client-centered and draws on attachment-based, psychodynamic, experiential, and mindfulness-based perspectives. Together, you can explore the patterns beneath your anxiety while developing coping skills that are relevant to your daily life. The work is personalized rather than a one-size-fits-all program.
What the first sessions can look like
Early sessions offer time to talk about what brings you in, how anxiety affects your life, and what you would like to change. You can ask about the therapeutic approach and share what has or has not helped before. The pace and focus develop collaboratively; you are welcome to raise questions or concerns as the relationship grows.
