When anxiety, depression, or stress take over your thoughts, it can feel like your mind is working against you. You may notice constant worry, self-criticism, avoidance, or behaviors that keep you stuck — even when you know they aren’t helping.
At Health Allies Counseling, we use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help adults understand how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact — and to build practical, evidence-based strategies that support real, lasting change.
