Therapy for Women in Eden Prairie, MN
Specializing in Supporting Anxious, High-Achieving Women Through Life Transitions
Anxiety and depression are common struggles for women who are balancing multiple roles whether that’s career, motherhood, relationships, or daily responsibilities. Many women experience what’s called high-functioning anxiety — appearing put-together on the outside, but feeling overwhelmed and exhausted on the inside.
Common signs of high-functioning anxiety in women include:
Racing thoughts that make it hard to focus or relax
Difficulty sleeping, even when you’re exhausted
Irritability or snapping at loved ones
Feeling stuck in a cycle of overwhelm and burnout
Overthinking decisions and second-guessing yourself
Saying “yes” to everyone else while putting your own needs last
Tension in your body such as headaches, jaw pain, or a constant tight chest
Struggling with guilt when you try to rest or slow down
Achieving goals but never feeling truly satisfied or at peace
Looking for a therapist in Eden Prairie to help you navigate your multiple roles as a woman?
At Creekside Counseling, we specialize in anxiety therapy for women who are navigating overwhelm, burnout, and perfectionism. Instead of just managing symptoms, we focus on helping you understand and heal the root causes of your anxiety.
Your treatment may include:
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART): A highly effective approach that helps reduce anxiety by calming your nervous system and addressing distressing memories without needing to relive them in detail. (Learn more about Trauma Therapy)
Healing Our Core Issues (HOCI) model: A therapy approach that supports women in working through unresolved childhood wounds, identity struggles, and patterns that keep you stuck in cycles of stress and self-doubt.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy: Practical tools to help you challenge racing thoughts, build healthier coping strategies, and create balance in your daily life.
Whether your anxiety is rooted in past trauma, life transitions, motherhood, or identity shifts, we’ll work together to create a personalized plan that helps you feel calmer, more confident, and empowered to live in alignment with your values.
