What is Anxiety?
Anxiety often includes an intense and pervasive sense of worry, fear, or doom. There are many types of anxiety, ranging from Generalized Anxiety, Panic Disorder, Separation Anxiety, Social Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and more.
Signs and Symptoms of Anxiety
Patients often feel physical symptoms, such as sweating, trembling, rapid fatigue or tiredness, difficulty breathing, fast heartbeat, and trouble concentrating. There is often a sense of impending panic, danger, or doom, and a general sense of worry, fear, nervousness, or restlessness.
Causes of Anxiety
Some anxiety is normal and expected in day to day life. However, if your anxiety is all-consuming, pervasive, excessive, or interferes with daily life, you deserve treatment.

We teach meditation/ mindfulness strategies, breathing techniques, and coping skills. Modalities used include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Based Therapy, Exposure Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and more.
Typical Outcomes
The goal is to decrease the frequency, duration, and intensity of your symptoms. We want patients to return back to baseline, so anxiety no longer impairs daily functioning.

Depression Treatment
Depression can affect anyone, impacting mood, motivation, and daily functioning. Persistent feelings of hopelessness, emptiness, sadness, or loss of interest and pleasure may make even simple tasks feel overwhelming. At Coastal Wellness, we provide specialized support for individuals experiencing depression, helping clients regain balance and well-being.
Depression is more than just occasional sadness—it is a complex mental health condition that often requires personalized treatment plans. Evidence-based approaches, including psychotherapy and, when appropriate, medication management, are recommended to address the emotional, cognitive, and behavioral aspects of depression. Our licensed therapists work closely with patients along the New England coast to develop a treatment strategy tailored to their unique needs, goals, and lifestyle.
We are accepting new patients for online individual therapy for depression, and in network with some insurances. We incorporate techniques such as DBT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based strategies, and self-compassion approaches. Holistic virtual therapy sessions provide convenient, confidential care from the comfort of your home, making it easier to prioritize your mental health without disruption to your daily life.
What is Depression?
Depression is more than just sadness, it is a medical disorder. Often categorized by a change in mood, emotions, and thinking patterns, patients may experience Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar I or II, Post Partum Depression, Seasonal Affective Disorder, or Persistent Depressive Disorder.
Signs and Symptoms of Depression
Patients may experience a pervasive down, sad, empty, or low mood, accompanied by changes in sleep, appetite, energy levels, concentration, and self esteem. Some people also experience feelings of hopelessness, worthlessness, frustration, irritability, guilt, or loss of interest or pleasure.
Causes of Depression
Depression is complicated, but could be related to genes, family history, brain chemistry, major life events, trauma history, medical illness, personality, or substance use. Patients in the Northeast might relate to the winter's reduced sunlight affecting their mood.
