High-Functioning Anxiety Therapy
for Adults in Texas
Feel calm, focused, and in control again, without losing the part of you that strives.
Does Your Life Look Put-Together, But Inside You Feel Overwhelmed?
Spot Signs of High-Functioning Anxiety
Highly capable, responsible, and driven but beneath the achievements, you might feel:
• Constantly tense or “on edge”
• Overthinking even simple decisions
• An internal pressure to perform perfectly
• Difficulty relaxing, even when things seem 'okay'
• A sense that you have to hold everything together alone
• Fear of disappointing others or falling behind
This is what high-functioning anxiety often looks like; you keep accomplishing, but privately you’re exhausted, overstimulated, and unsure how long you can keep it up.
High-Functioning Anxiety
Doesn’t Mean Your Pain Is
“Not Bad Enough”
Many high achievers dismiss their internal stress because they’re still performing well on the outside.
But even the most capable deserve support before reaching burn out.
Untangle the pressure you put on yourself, quiet the constant mental noise, and create space to breathe again with tools from CBT and SFBT.
