Empower Your Mind and Spirit

Anxiety and depression can quietly take over your thoughts, your body, and your sense

of hope. You may feel constantly on edge, emotionally numb, overwhelmed, exhausted,

or disconnected—from yourself, from others, or even from the life you once enjoyed.

Some days it may feel hard just to get through, even when everything on the outside

looks “fine”.

Whether your anxiety shows up as racing thoughts, panic, people-pleasing, or a

constant sense of unease—or your depression feels like heaviness, hopelessness, low

motivation, or emotional shutdown—these experiences are not signs of weakness. They

are signals that something within you needs care, compassion, and support.

At Rise and Restore Counseling, therapy offers a space to slow down, feel safe, and

begin listening to what your mind, body, and heart are trying to communicate.

Anxiety and depression rarely exist in isolation. They are often shaped by past

experiences, relationship dynamics, nervous system overwhelm, and unprocessed

emotions. Therapy is tailored to you and may gently integrate the following approaches:

• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): Helps you understand and regulate emotions while strengthening your sense of safety and connection—to yourself, to others, and to God.
• Bowenian Family Therapy: Explores how family patterns, emotional boundaries, and relational stress impact your well-being while helping you grow in self-awareness and emotional steadiness.
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps you gently notice patterns in your thoughts and beliefs, creating space to shift unhelpful thinking into more supportive, balanced perspectives—bringing clarity, calm, and emotional ease.
• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): Helps the brain and body process unresolved or overwhelming experiences that may be contributing to anxiety, depression, and/or emotional reactivity—allowing distress to lose its intensity over time.

This integrative approach honors both science and the wisdom of your nervous system,

recognizing that healing often happens when the mind, body, and emotions are

supported together.

Therapy is not about forcing change or “fixing” you. It’s about creating a safe,

compassionate space where growth can unfold naturally.

In sessions, you can expect to:

• Feel heard, respected, and emotionally supported
• Gain insight into the root causes of anxiety or depression
• Learn tools to calm your nervous system and manage distress
• Process experiences that may still be weighing on you
• Strengthen emotional resilience, clarity, and self-trust

Anxiety and depression may be part of your story—but they do not have to define your

future. With support, insight, and care, it is possible to experience greater peace,

connection, and emotional freedom.

If you’re ready to better understand what your anxiety or depression is communicating,

heal emotional wounds, and move forward with greater clarity, steadiness, and hope,

individual therapy at Rise and Restore Counseling can help.
