Anxiety Treatment for Women

Understanding Anxiety

Anxiety is more than just stress.
While everyone feels nervous from time to time, an anxiety disorder is different — it’s a constant, overwhelming state of worry, fear, or unease that doesn’t go away on its own. For many women, anxiety can show up both emotionally and physically, making everyday life feel exhausting.

Common symptoms of anxiety include:

Persistent worry that feels impossible to turn off
Racing thoughts or feeling “on edge”
Restlessness or difficulty sitting still
Sleep problems — either trouble falling asleep or waking frequently
Irritability or sensitivity to noise, light, or stress
Physical symptoms like headaches, rapid heartbeat, chest tightness, or digestive issues
Avoiding situations or responsibilities because they feel overwhelming

Anxiety disorders affect millions of women every year, often disrupting work, relationships, and self-esteem. If you’ve ever felt like your brain simply won’t let you relax — like you’re waiting for something bad to happen even when things seem fine — you are not alone, and there is real help available.

Women are nearly twice as likely as men to develop anxiety disorders.

This isn’t because women are “weaker” it’s because of a complex mix of factors:

Hormonal influences: Fluctuations related to menstrual cycles, pregnancy, postpartum changes, and menopause can intensify symptoms.
Life stage pressures: Balancing career, caregiving, family, and social expectations can heighten stress.
Higher trauma exposure: Women experience higher rates of sexual trauma and interpersonal violence, which can contribute to both anxiety and PTSD.
Cultural expectations: Women are often expected to “keep it together,” which makes it harder to ask for help or set boundaries.

At Emerge, we created a women-only treatment space to honor these unique experiences.

Here, there’s no pressure to minimize your feelings, no fear of being judged, and no need to explain why you feel anxious. You’ll be surrounded by women who understand — and that alone is deeply healing.

We don’t believe in “one-size-fits-all” mental health care.

Every woman who comes to Emerge receives an individualized treatment plan built around her specific symptoms, goals, and lifestyle.

Two Levels of Care to Meet You Where You Are:

Day Treatment (PHP) – 5 hours/day, 5 days/week
- Best for women needing structured, immersive care without stepping away from daily life completely.
- Combines individual therapy, group therapy, mindfulness practices, and skills training to create rapid, meaningful change.
- Ideal if anxiety is significantly impacting your ability to work, study, or manage daily responsibilities.

Intensive Outpatient (IOP) – 3 hours/day, 3 days/week
- Provides strong therapeutic support with more flexibility.
- You can continue working, attending school, or caring for family while receiving treatment.
- Focuses on building coping strategies, reducing physical anxiety symptoms, and regaining balance.

Each program blends evidence-based therapy (like CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed approaches) with holistic wellness practices, ensuring that we treat the root of anxiety — not just the surface symptoms.

Anxiety is both a mental and physical experience.

That’s why our treatment goes beyond talk therapy to address the whole person — mind, body, and spirit.

Therapy that works:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to reframe anxious thoughts
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to manage overwhelming emotions
- Trauma-informed therapy to heal anxiety rooted in past experiences

Mind-body connection:
- Yoga and mindfulness practices to retrain the nervous system and help your body feel safe again
- Breathwork and grounding skills to calm panic and reduce stress in real time

Nutrition and wellness support:
- Anxiety can be worsened by poor nutrition or blood sugar fluctuations. Our education and support programs help you nourish your body for mental clarity and stability.

Community healing:
- Women thrive in connection, not isolation. In our groups, you’ll meet women who truly “get it,” creating a supportive sisterhood where everyone is walking the same path toward recovery.

Local expertise: Serving Draper, Salt Lake City, Lehi, and all of Salt Lake and Utah Counties.

Women-only space: Healing feels safer and deeper when you don’t have to filter your words.

Woman-owned and operated: We’ve built a program from the ground up to meet women’s needs — because we’ve been there ourselves.

Decades of combined experience: Our founders, clinicians, and team members bring decades of expertise while maintaining a grounded, personal, and soulful approach to care.
