Anxiety & Depression Counseling in Shrewsbury, MA

When life feels overwhelming, you don’t have to face it alone

Anxiety and depression can affect every part of your life — your mood, sleep, focus, relationships, motivation, and even the way you see yourself. You may feel stuck in worry, sadness, irritability, or exhaustion. You may be withdrawing from the people you care about, or pushing through each day feeling weighed down or disconnected.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not failing — you’re human. And you deserve support that helps you understand, heal, and move forward.

At The Dragonfly Path, we provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy for anxiety and depression, tailored to your unique story and needs. We help you slow down, breathe, gain clarity, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that feel steady, hopeful, and strong.

Understanding Anxiety & Depression

You may be experiencing:

• Persistent worry, racing thoughts, or feeling constantly on edge

• Feeling sad, hopeless, overwhelmed, or emotionally numb

• Irritability or a short fuse

• Sleep issues such as trouble falling asleep or waking frequently

• Lack of motivation or difficulty completing daily tasks

• Changes in appetite or energy

• Difficulty concentrating or feeling foggy

• Pulling away from friends, family, or meaningful activities

• A general sense that something is off, even if you can’t name it

These symptoms are common and treatable. Therapy can help you understand what’s happening, build tools to manage it, and restore a sense of balance.

How Therapy Helps

Anxiety and depression often respond well to talk therapy, particularly when supported by skills-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Through therapy, you can:

• Understand the patterns behind your thoughts and emotions

• Reduce worry, fear, irritability, or low mood

• Interrupt cycles of overthinking or overwhelm

• Learn practical tools to manage stress and emotional triggers

• Rebuild confidence and self-esteem

• Improve communication and relationships

• Feel more grounded, calm, and in control

Healing doesn’t happen all at once, but it begins with a safe place to talk, feel understood, and learn new ways to cope.
