Our Testimonials Near University Village

I have felt less nervous the longer I have been in therapy and I think I have learned ways to better understand and handle my anxiety.

ERP works.

I am taught different perspectives to approach issues. I am shown how to practice exercises to help navigate my overwhelming feelings and emotions. The exercises I learn allow me to practice in my daily life as well.

Even though I started this to treat one thing, when something new arises my therapist always takes time to ask about it and offer to support it

I spent so many years feeling hopeless that I would never get proper help and support for my mental health and I felt so relieved the moment I spoke with my therapists. They have truly helped me in ways no one else has ever been able to do EVER and I’m so grateful to have found them through Light On Anxiety. I wish everyone in the world could have my therapists in their life, because the world would be a much better place if they all did!

Working with my therapists has been great! Completing the Neuropsych Evaluation and Gene Sight testing also feel like a step in the right direction.

My therapist is incredibly attentive, receptive, and non-judgmental of my issues and I really appreciate her approach on therapy
