If your mind won’t stop spinning, your body feels constantly on edge, or you’re stuck in the loop of “what if,” you’re not alone.
Maybe it shows up as sleepless nights, a pit in your stomach before social interactions, or the fear that something bad is always just around the corner.
Maybe you’re tired of feeling like your anxiety is running the show—and you're ready to get your life back.

At The Couples Therapy and Reunification Counseling, we offer anxiety counseling in Montebello, CA that helps you slow the spiral, understand what’s underneath your anxiety, and begin to feel like yourself again. Whether your anxiety stems from past trauma, overwhelming stress, or patterns in relationships, we work with you to address the root—not just the symptoms.

What Does Anxiety Feel Like?

Anxiety doesn’t always look like panic attacks or constant fear—it often shows up quietly in your body, your thoughts, and your relationships. If you’ve been brushing it off as “just stress,” you’re not alone.

Here are some of the ways anxiety might be showing up for you:

Physical Symptoms

Racing heart, tight chest, shortness of breath, sweating, or feeling lightheaded.

Emotional Symptoms

Constant worry, fear something bad is about to happen, or an underlying sense of dread.

Cognitive Symptoms

Mind racing or going blank, trouble concentrating, or looping negative thoughts.

Behavioral Symptoms

Avoiding social situations, over-preparing for everything, needing constant reassurance, or snapping at loved ones.

For many of the clients we support through anxiety counseling in Montebello, CA, these symptoms feel overwhelming and exhausting—especially when you’re trying to keep it all together on the outside. But anxiety isn’t just something you have to live with. There is support. There are tools. And there is a way forward.

Generalized Anxiety (GAD)

Persistent, excessive worry about everyday things—work, relationships, health—even when nothing is “wrong.”

Panic Attacks

Sudden waves of fear or dread that seem to come out of nowhere, often with physical symptoms like chest tightness, dizziness, or feeling like you can’t breathe.
