Anxiety’s calling the shots.

Break the cycle.
Calm the spiral.
Take back your life.

Therapy for anxiety, OCD, and panic based in Syracuse, NY

Anxiety is a storm you wish you could just let blow over, right?

…But it kinda blows off the roof and plucks your car out of the driveway, sending it flying 1,000 feet away 

You’ve been dealing with anxiety, panic, or OCD for a while now. Maybe you’ve been stuck in your head. Or maybe you’ve tried talk therapy, CBT, or medication– without much anxiety taming to show for it. Now, you’re feeling a bit of shame. How can someone so smart, loving, and capable as you keep falling victim to spirals that make you feel insecure and on edge? Will it always be like this? Will your emotion-led amygdala never listen to your logical prefrontal cortex?

I know when you’re stuck in the pattern, it feels like this is forever. But it’s not. 

How we tame
the constant worry

AND treat it FOR GOOD.

 One part research.
Two parts empathy.

CBT and ERP therapy are proven treatments for even the most stubborn cases of panic, anxiety, and OCD.

But over here, it’s not cold, clinical, ‘do these things,’ sessions.
As someone who also has anxiety, I’ve walked this walk– trying to turn on all of the lights, looking for answers. 

I know what works.

I also know how it feels when things aren’t working. 

Hi,
I’m Michelle Stiles 

And I’m not your average, cardigan-wearing, stuffy, ‘how does that make you feel’ *stares silently* therapist 

No shade, but I wanted to treat OCD, anxiety, and panic in a different, more collaborative way.

By ditching the scripts and encouraging my clients to show up as them, my approach pulls you out of the spirals and into a life you can fully show up for. 

Anxiety may have won the past couple of years.

It doesn’t get to cast a shadow over future years.
