Stress, Anxiety & Worry Therapy in Indianapolis

If anxiety is interfering with your daily life, relationships, or ability to relax, you are not alone. At Carter Psychology, I provide specialized anxiety therapy in Indianapolis for adults who feel overwhelmed by worry, stress, panic attacks, or constant mental overdrive.

Anxiety can look different for everyone — racing thoughts, physical tension, irritability, difficulty sleeping, or feeling “on edge” even when things seem fine. Therapy can help you understand what’s happening in your nervous system and learn tools to feel more grounded, confident, and in control.

I am here to help!

LET'S TALK

Do Any of These Anxiety Symptoms Sound Familiar?

Persistent worry or overthinking
Panic attacks or fear of having one
Tight chest, shortness of breath, or racing heart
Difficulty sleeping due to anxious thoughts
Perfectionism or fear of making mistakes
Avoidance of situations that trigger anxiety
Feeling tense, restless, or mentally exhausted
High-functioning anxiety — appearing “fine” while feeling overwhelmed inside

You may benefit from anxiety therapy if you experience any of the above. Many people live with anxiety longer than they need to, assuming it’s just part of who they are. Effective therapy can help reduce symptoms and improve your quality of life.
