In a city of demanding careers like Ann Arbor, anxiety often hides behind high performance: long hours, over-preparation, and dread that starts on Sunday afternoon.

Some people combine therapy with medication prescribed by a doctor or psychiatrist; a therapist can help you judge whether an evaluation makes sense. For generalized anxiety, therapists often work on tolerating uncertainty and cutting back the reassurance-seeking and over-planning that keep worry going.

It's fine to ask how often a therapist treats anxiety like yours; specialists usually answer easily. Licensed counselors, psychologists and clinical social workers all treat anxiety; experience with your kind of anxiety and with methods like CBT matters more than the title. Reading two or three anxiety therapist profiles in Ann Arbor side by side — focus areas, approach, fees — is often the quickest way to a short list.
