Personalized, Inclusive Therapy for Anxiety Relief
Anxiety affects over 40 million adults in the U.S. each year, and many individuals in the San Francisco and the Bay Area are navigating the intense pace of city life while silently struggling with worry, overwhelm, and emotional exhaustion. If you’re feeling anxious, on edge, or disconnected, you are not alone. Christina Wade offers compassionate, evidence-based anxiety therapy tailored to your unique needs and lifestyle.
Christina, a licensed therapist based in San Francisco, provides personalized care exclusively through secure virtual sessions to clients across California. Whether anxiety stems from work stress, social pressures, past trauma, or daily demands, therapy can help you regain control, reconnect with yourself, and move toward lasting calm.
Anxiety is more than just worry. It can show up as:
Your mind loops through worries, worst-case scenarios, and doubts, making it difficult to focus, relax, or stay present.
You feel exhausted but can’t wind down. Your mind and body stay tense, alert, and restless — even at night.
Your body holds on to stress, leaving you stiff, sore, or uncomfortable. It can feel like you’re always bracing for something.
Events and tasks may feel emotionally draining or overwhelming, leading you to withdraw or postpone things you once enjoyed or handled with ease.
You may replay conversations, worry about others’ opinions, and second-guess decisions, getting lost in anxious thought patterns.
“You don’t have to control your thoughts. You just have to stop letting them control you.”
— Dan Millman
Therapy with Christina Wade is grounded in science-backed approaches to help reduce anxiety and build emotional resilience. Christina may integrate:
Challenge unhelpful thoughts and develop healthier mental patterns.
Identify core values and take mindful action even in the presence of anxiety.
Build emotional regulation skills to stay grounded through life’s challenges.
Each therapy plan is designed around your pace and goals — never one-size-fits-all. You’ll receive tools and support that align with your unique path.
If you’re new to therapy, here’s how the process typically unfolds:
Christina will explore your background, current symptoms, and hopes for therapy.
Together, you'll decide which approach (CBT, ACT, DBT, Somatic, or a blend) best suits your needs.
Establish meaningful short- and long-term goals.
Learn practical skills, work through obstacles, and monitor progress over time.
Therapy moves at your pace. Sessions are designed to feel supportive, respectful, and free of judgment.
The San Francisco consistently ranks among the top 10 happiest cities in the U.S. — yet it also reports high levels of stress, depression, and sleep issues. Life in the Bay Area can be demanding.
