Anxiety and Depression Therapy in Saugus, MA
Living with anxiety or depression can feel isolating, even when you’re surrounded by others. You may notice racing thoughts, persistent worry, low motivation, or a heaviness that makes everyday tasks feel harder than they used to. At times, emotions can feel unpredictable or difficult to explain, leaving you wondering why things feel this way.
Anxiety and depression therapy offers a supportive space to slow things down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and begin addressing patterns that may be contributing to distress. Therapy isn’t about forcing positivity or “pushing through”, it’s about understanding your experience and finding ways to feel more grounded, connected, and supported.
At ReAlign Wellness Group, we offer anxiety and depression therapy in Saugus, MA and throughout Massachusetts for adults seeking compassionate, affirming care that honors the complexity of emotional health.
Common Experiences This Therapy Can Help With
Anxiety and depression therapy may be helpful if you’re experiencing:
Persistent worry, rumination, or racing thoughts
Low mood, exhaustion, or loss of interest in activities
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
Feelings of overwhelm, irritability, or emotional numbness
Changes in sleep, appetite, or motivation
These experiences can ebb and flow, and therapy meets them with care rather than judgment.
Self-Check Tools for Anxiety and Depression
Sometimes it can be helpful to pause and reflect on what you’ve been experiencing. The brief self-check tools below are commonly used screening questionnaires for anxiety and depression. They are not diagnostic, but they may offer insight into whether symptoms are impacting your day-to-day life.
