It’s time to learn the skills that will help you get relief from constant feelings of worry, fear, panic, shame, and anxiety. Check out Freedom Within Therapy and Wellness Center’s weekly live workshop series! Each week we focus on a different aspect of anxiety, helping you understand it, what it is, and providing you with skills and tools to get relief and regain your sense of safety, sense of calm and overall enjoyment of life.

What: Live workshops! Learn tools and skills to help you understand, navigate and decrease your pain. Each workshop will present information with tangible tools and skills you can walk away using right away to help you feel more calm with less worry and less anxiety and most importantly, less pain. Each workshop is led by therapist here at Freedom Within Center in real time. This means you can ask questions and provide comments and input throughout the session. Please note this is not a psychotherapy group – this means we will not be digging into each person’s past or their issues but rather focusing on skills and how to work through things in a healthy and effective manner.

Anyone ages 18 and up can benefit from these workshops and are welcome! We recommend attending each workshop to get the most out of these tools.
