You don’t have to hold it all together here.
Maybe your mind rarely slows down. You’re overthinking conversations, trying to get everything right, or taking care of everyone else while feeling overwhelmed inside.
Or maybe things feel flat, heavy, or far away. You’re going through the motions but feel disconnected from yourself and the people you love.
Individual therapy at Kinship offers space to explore what is happening, how it affects your life, and what kind of support may be helpful.
When anxiety or low mood is taking up more room
Your experience may include worry, tension, overthinking, low mood, exhaustion, or feeling less connected to things that matter to you. You may also notice patterns involving boundaries, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or relationships.
You don’t have to arrive with a diagnosis, and this page cannot tell you what your experience means. Your therapist will work with you to understand your concerns in the context of your life.
We become curious about the whole picture.
At Kinship, we pay attention to thoughts, emotions, relationships, history, your body, and what is happening in your life now. We want to understand the person underneath the symptoms.
Therapy can involve talking, noticing what happens in the present moment, and exploring how you respond to stress, closeness, conflict, or difficult feelings. Your therapist will discuss an approach based on your needs and their training.
What if you’ve been trying very hard already?
Maybe you’ve tried to think positively, stop worrying, be more productive, or make yourself feel differently. Therapy can be a place to stop fighting yourself long enough to understand what is going on.
What makes sense about the ways you’ve learned to cope? What do you need now? What might become possible with support?

Questions about anxiety and depression counseling
Do I need a diagnosis before reaching out?
No. You can start with what you have been noticing, even if you do not know how to describe it. Your therapist will help you explore your concerns and discuss what support may fit.
What happens in the first session?
The first session is a chance to get to know one another, share what brings you to therapy, discuss your history and goals, and ask questions. You do not need to arrive with everything figured out.
What does therapy cost, and do you take insurance?
Kinship is a self-pay, out-of-network practice. Fees depend on your therapist and service and are discussed before you begin. You may submit a superbill to your insurer for possible out-of-network reimbursement; benefits vary by plan. Read our fees, insurance, and getting-started FAQ.
