Anxiety
In person (Miami) and online (Florida + PSYPACT states)
You have gotten good at masking it. That is not the same as being healed.
From the outside, everything looks fine. Internally, something has shifted.
What High-Functioning Anxiety Actually Looks Like
You wake at four with your mind already running. You rehearse conversations before they happen and review them afterward. Your jaw aches, your shoulders stay up, and your stomach reacts to things before you have consciously registered being worried about them.
From the outside you are competent and reliable, often the person others lean on. That reputation becomes its own pressure. Slowing down feels like it would cost something you cannot afford to lose, so you keep going, and the anxiety keeps funding the performance.
Common Conditions We Treat
Anxiety & Panic | Health Anxiety | Burnout | Somatic Symptom Disorder | Complex PTSD
Anxiety doesn’t only live in your thoughts; it shows up in sleep, digestion, muscle tension, appetite, and focus. That’s why many people seek medical care first, often undergoing tests and procedures before anyone names what’s actually happening.
An Integrative Approach
Many people learn coping skills in therapy but never address what their anxiety is actually centered on. Those skills help briefly, then anxiety shifts to something new.
At Embody Health Psychology we combine methods in one ongoing treatment so you aren’t shuffled between specialists when the work changes. Therapy follows what you bring, not a fixed script. That includes:
Practical techniques to break daily cycles that fuel anxiety.
Body‑based work to calm the nervous system when talk alone isn’t enough.
Trauma‑informed exploration to find where vigilance started and what it protects.
We shift between these approaches as needed so skills, nervous‑system regulation, and understanding all support lasting relief.

FAQs
Is my anxiety serious enough for therapy?
1
If it is shaping your sleep, your body, or the decisions you make, it is enough. Functioning well is not evidence that nothing is wrong; it is often what has kept the problem from getting attention.
I have already done CBT. Will this be the same?
2
No. Practical tools are part of the work when they are useful, and they are not the whole of it. The work also addresses what the anxiety is organized around, which is what keeps relief from depending on a technique.
My anxiety shows up physically. Is that still anxiety?
3
Frequently, and it deserves both a medical workup and psychological attention. Our clinicians work integrate your physiological manifestations of anxiety into the overall work.
