Anxiety Therapist Ann Arbor
Immediate and long-term relief for anxiety, stress, and overwhelm
Anxiety feels terrible. It just does. Whether from work, relationships, out-of-reach goals, conditions like ADHD and Autism, or for no reason at all, it can make life into a struggle. But it doesn’t have to be this way forever. Get anxiety therapy in Ann Arbor (or online) and experience relief that lasts.
Feeling Uneasy? It Could Be Anxiety.
People with anxiety often filter their thoughts, hesitate to speak up, and second-guess their decisions.
They feel excessive stress and worry, and can have physical symptoms like an upset stomach or tension in their jaw and shoulders.
If left untreated, anxiety is likely to stay. Anxiety does not usually get better without a targeted intervention like therapy, breathwork, or another proven approach.
So, why be hopeful?
Just like so many before you, you can manage your anxiety to be a passing sensation, rather than a constant presence..
You can learn positive coping skills, learn how to calm the parts of your brain that cause anxiety, and build a relatively “stress-free” life.
Of course, life will always have some aspect of stress. But you don’t have to live with overwhelming stress and anxiety any longer.

WHO IS JESSE?
An Anxiety Therapist Who Sees You
Jesse Kauffman
Anxiety Therapist and Owner of Atelier Therapy
I’m Jesse Kauffman, a licensed psychotherapist specializing in ADHD, Autism, and the often resulting anxiety and/or depression each can bring.
Because I’ve lived with ADHD, I know how it feels in my mind and body. It’s like you’re out-of-sync with the world, always worried about what you’re missing and how it might interfere with your life and relationships. Is it the same for you?
Whether the anxiety you’re experiencing is related to another diagnosis or not, you deserve to have relief. Having treated dozens of clients over the last decade, there’s not much I haven’t seen. It would be an honor to help you.
Our anxiety does not come from thinking about the future, but from wanting to control it.
― Khalil Gibran

Anxiety Therapy FAQs
There’s no single solution that works for everyone, but one of the most effective ways to reduce anxiety is through a combination of therapy and mindfulness practices. Therapy helps identify and address the root causes of your anxiety, while mindfulness can bring you back to the present moment, reducing worry and stress. In my practice, I also employ breathwork which is a fast and effective tool for releasing anxious stress stored in the body.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is widely considered the gold standard for treating anxiety. It focuses on identifying and changing negative thought and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety. Other effective therapies include Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness-based approaches. I’ll work with you to find an approach best suited to your needs.
Absolutely. Therapy provides tools and strategies to manage and reduce anxiety, helping you regain control over your thoughts and emotions. My clients find that therapy improves their anxiety and enhances their overall quality of life, relationships, and sense of well-being.
Self-help strategies for anxiety include:
- Practicing mindfulness or meditation to stay grounded and in the present moment.
- Attending guided breathwork sessions or practicing on one’s own.
- Engaging in regular physical activity to release tension and improve mood.
- Journaling to process anxious thoughts.This also helps gain distance and see things more clearly.
- Seeking support from trusted friends or family.
While self-help is beneficial, therapy can take your progress even further by providing expert guidance to address anxiety at its root cause. Reach out for a free consultation today.
Relaxing your mind and body starts with intentional practices, such as deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, or mindfulness meditation. Creating a calming routine, like taking a warm bath, practicing yoga, or listening to soothing music, can also help reduce tension and quiet your mind.
Anxiety can improve significantly with the right tools and support, but ignoring it usually makes it worse. Left unchecked, anxiety can persist or even intensify over time. Therapy helps address the underlying causes of anxiety and equips you with strategies to manage it effectively, leading to lasting relief. So don’t just hope it will go away – address it directly in therapy.
Severe anxiety can feel overwhelming and all-consuming. It often includes persistent worry, physical symptoms like a racing heart or chest tightness, difficulty concentrating, and avoiding situations that trigger anxiety. In some cases, severe anxiety can lead to panic attacks, leaving you feeling powerless. If you’re experiencing this, therapy can provide the support and tools you need to regain control.
Anxiety is common for individuals with Autism or ADHD, often stemming from sensory sensitivities, challenging social situations, or difficulty managing tasks. Therapy can help address the unique aspects of anxiety tied to these conditions.
Through tailored strategies, we’ll work on reducing overwhelm, managing triggers, and building self-compassion. For ADHD, this may involve developing routines and improving focus, while for Autism, we might focus on navigating social interactions and sensory stressors. Together, we’ll create a supportive environment where you can thrive, feel understood, and gain the tools to manage anxiety effectively.
I offer anxiety therapy for $310 per session. New clients join for weekly sessions and appreciate seeing the progress of meeting regularly within the first several sessions. We can discuss options during your free initial consultation.
Getting started is easy! Contact me to schedule your free consultation. I’m always open to meeting new clients and would love to help you take the next step in your healing journey.
