"Sometimes it feels like everyone else has it together while I’m just trying to keep my head above water..."

“When will my inner critic stop controlling me?”

“I am so over my anxiety and panic attacks!”

“I don’t have a sense of who I am anymore.”

If you or your teen have been grappling with anxiety, self-doubt, and uncertainty for what feels like an eternity, you’re not alone. It can be hard to remember a time when these feelings didn’t loom over you.

Your expectations of yourself might feel impossibly high
Every perceived misstep can seem like a monumental failure, leaving you feeling inadequate despite your hard work.
When it comes to how you see yourself, your self-worth might hinge on the validation of others or your achievements, rather than embracing who you are.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Anxiety therapy can help you reclaim your life and transform your relationships. Start regaining control of your life with anxiety and health anxiety treatments at CAYA Care.

How Anxiety Therapy Works?

CAYA Care provides comprehensive general and health anxiety treatments tailored for teens, young adults, and parents. Our approach combines proven anxiety therapy strategies with a deep understanding of your personal needs, for making and maintaining change.

We’ll start by looking at what’s bringing you to therapy and how it’s impacting your life:

When you first noticed it
How often it’s showing up in your day-to-day
What you’ve done in the past to help address it.

Together, we’ll focus on the areas where you want to see transformation. We’ll explore your vision for the future, draft a personalized plan, and develop the skills and insights necessary to bring it to life.

You’ll learn to recognize your triggers—anticipating them before they arise—so you can respond in ways that align with your values and true self. Let’s empower you to navigate life with confidence and clarity!
