Anxiety Therapy · Plantation

# Anxiety therapy in Plantation, _grounded_.

For Plantation professionals and families, when the workday's pressure quietly becomes the body's default setting, therapy can help the nervous system learn what's safe again.

Plantation, FL

## About working with clients from _Plantation_.

Plantation is an established Broward suburb between Weston and Fort Lauderdale, home to a lot of professionals, medical and legal offices around the Plantation General corridor, and long-settled families in the Jacaranda and Plantation Acres neighborhoods. Anxiety here often shows up as workday tension, sleep that won't settle, and short fuses on evenings that should have been recovery time.

Maria's office is about 15 to 20 minutes west via I-595. Many Plantation clients come in person; others prefer secure telehealth to stay consistent during busy stretches. Both formats produce real work.

The approach combines CBT with somatic and mindfulness tools, so anxiety is addressed in the body as well as in thought patterns. When older material is driving the spiral, EMDR can be added.

Bilingual throughout (English / Español). Adults, teens, and children welcome.

What we work on

## The shape of the _work_.

-   Generalized anxiety and worry 
-   Workday stress and burnout 
-   Panic and sleep loss 
-   Perfectionism and overwhelm 
-   Social anxiety 
-   Health anxiety 
-   Depression that travels with anxiety 
-   Teens and school-age children 

Modality

## CBT + somatic + mindfulness.

Anxiety is addressed across thought, body, and behavior. You'll leave with practical tools, not only insight. When trauma is the engine underneath the spiral, EMDR can be folded in.
