On the Outside, You Hold It Together.
Inside, It’s Loud.
Therapy for Women and Teens Navigating Anxiety and High Expectations
Available online throughout New York, including Huntington and NYC
You’re in the right place if when you say, “I’m fine,” you really mean, “I’m barely holding it together.”
You’re capable and composed.
You remember birthdays, manage the group chat, juggle the carpool.
Your inbox is organized. Your to-do lists have sublists.
You’re the one people turn to when they need advice, help, or answers.
And you hold it all together— even when it’s a lot.
Lately, it’s been a lot. Big changes. Shifting roles. A constant stream of decisions.
You’re managing everyone else’s needs and quietly wondering where yours fit in.
Even on calm days, your mind keeps spinning— You’ve thought about it from every angle:
what’s next, what you forgot, what could go wrong.
Slowing down feels risky, like if you stop for a second, something might fall apart. So you stay alert. Prepared. Braced. Because if you don’t hold it together… who will?
You tell yourself it’s just stress. That other people have it worse. But deep down you know something’s off. This isn’t how you’re supposed to feel.
What We'll Work On
Anxiety can show up as overthinking, perfectionism, constant preparation, or the feeling that you should always be doing more.
In therapy, we'll look beneath those patterns and work toward changing them.
Understand the pattern
Why does your mind stay on high alert? What keeps you second-guessing yourself? When do high standards become impossible standards?
Change the cycle
We'll work with overanalysis, reassurance-seeking, perfectionism, avoidance, and difficulty tolerating uncertainty.
Create more room to live
The goal is to make decisions with greater confidence, set healthier boundaries, navigate change, and feel less driven by the need to get everything right.
HI, I’M DR. LANGDON
I’m a licensed clinical psychologist who works with women and teens who look like they have it all together but feel constantly on edge. If your mind races, you second-guess every decision, or you’re exhausted from pretending you’re fine, you’re in the right place.
My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). CBT helps us spot and change the thinking and habits that keep anxiety going, like overanalyzing, seeking reassurance and avoiding what feels uncertain. ACT helps you stop fighting anxiety and act on what matters to you. You don’t have to have the “right” words or a perfectly organized story to begin.
Ready to Get Started?
-
We start with a conversation. You’ll share what’s been weighing on you, what you’ve tried, and what you’re hoping might change. We’ll get a sense of whether working together feels like the right fit.
-
Therapy is where we make sense of what’s driving your anxiety. We’ll untangle what keeps your brain on high alert, explore what your anxiety is trying to tell you, and build practical, science-backed tools that fit your life.
-
Over time, you’ll start to notice changes. Less overthinking. More steadiness. A growing sense of confidence in how you respond to stress — instead of feeling controlled by it.
