🌟For those who are new here, let's do some introductions 🌟

Hi, I'm Elzaba Anderson, a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPCA), owner of MadeWell Counseling & Therapy and a proud member of the American Counseling Association, Kentucky Counseling Association, and the Christian Association for Psychological Studies. 🤝📚
Stories matter, and I've spent years exploring the narratives and experiences that shape us. 📖💭 My journey has led me to create a safe and welcoming space for you to be truly heard and valued. 🌟❤️

My counseling approach is evidence-based and integrative, drawing from attachment theory, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), as well as mindfulness practices and breathing techniques. 🧠💫

Together, we'll collaboratively set goals and implement them with expertise, addressing a wide range of challenges such as depression, self-esteem, anxiety, eating disorders, life transitions, relationships, OCD, and issues related to sexual abuse and trauma. 🌼

Join me in your journey towards self-discovery and healing. Let's create your story of resilience and growth together. 🌿🌼

🌟 Embracing Vulnerability: Confronting Anxiety 🌟

💕 Today, we want to get real and talk about something many of us experience but often avoid discussing openly: anxiety. 🧠💭

Anxiety is like an uninvited guest that sometimes overstays its welcome. It can be overwhelming, but the one thing I've learned is that avoiding it only makes it worse. 🙅‍♀️

When we steer clear of situations that trigger anxiety, it might provide momentary relief, but it reinforces the idea that those situations are genuinely dangerous. Our minds start to believe that we can't handle them, and the anxiety grows stronger. 😰

So here's a thought: instead of running away from anxiety, let's face it head-on! 💪💫 When we confront our fears and anxieties, we chip away at their power over us. It's like turning on the light in a dark room – suddenly, those monsters under the bed don't seem so scary. 🌟✨

Here are a few tips that can help:

1️⃣ Deep breathing: Slow, deep breaths can help calm your nervous system.
2️⃣ Mindfulness: Practice being present and accepting your feelings without judgment.
3️⃣ Seek support: Talk to friends, family, or a professional who can offer guidance.
4️⃣ Step-by-step: Break big challenges into smaller, manageable steps.

Remember, it's okay to ask for help, and it's okay to have moments of vulnerability. You're not alone in this journey, and there's strength in confronting your fears. 💪💕

Let's break the stigma surrounding anxiety and support one another as we grow through these challenges together. Share your own experiences and tips in the comments below, and let's build a community of strength and resilience. 💪🤗

It leads to healing by refusing to dismiss brokenness as permanent. And that healing transforms suffering into value and beauty.

Individual therapy sessions are a powerful and safe space to confidentially bring in a therapist to help navigate the difficulties of life. Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, transitional issues, or unfamiliar angst you cannot put a finger on, individual therapy can allow you to safely explore the emotional, and perhaps, physical distress that you are in.
