Anxiety can feel like living with an invisible weight pressing down on you every day. To the outside world, you may look composed, going to work, meeting deadlines, caring for your family; but inside: your heart races, your thoughts spiral, and you feel like you’re constantly bracing for something to go wrong. Even small tasks can feel overwhelming: sending an email, meeting friends for dinner, or trying to fall asleep at night.
You may find yourself lying awake, replaying conversations, worrying about things that haven’t happened yet, or dreading situations others take for granted. Maybe you’ve even told yourself, “I should be able to handle this. Why can’t I just calm down?”
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to keep struggling. Anxiety therapy with Dr. Christopher Joaquim in Boston offers a path forward. Through a blend of evidence-based techniques, compassionate support, and practical strategies, Dr. Joaquim helps clients not only reduce anxiety; but also rebuild confidence, regain peace, and reclaim joy in their lives.
Everyone experiences worry from time to time, but anxiety is different. It’s persistent, often overwhelming, and it can affect nearly every aspect of your life.
Common signs of anxiety include:
Emotional: constant worrying, irritability, fear of losing control, feeling “on edge”
Physical: racing heartbeat, sweating, tense muscles, headaches, stomach problems, fatigue
Behavioral: avoiding responsibilities, canceling plans, procrastinating, withdrawing socially
For example:
Anxiety can show up differently for each person—but in every case, it disrupts life. Therapy is about breaking that cycle.
With more than 20 years of clinical experience, Dr. Joaquim has helped countless clients move past the grip of anxiety. His approach is not one-size-fits-all; instead, it’s designed to meet you where you are.
What makes him unique?
Clients describe feeling “seen and heard” in a way they hadn’t experienced before. Therapy with Dr. Joaquim isn’t about judgment—it’s about partnership.
He combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Positive Psychology, mindfulness practices, and strength-based strategies to deliver effective, long-lasting results.
Therapy addresses the whole person—your mind, body, and lifestyle—not just symptoms.
Progress is measured in real-world improvements, like sleeping better, enjoying social events, or handling work challenges calmly.
Anxiety therapy isn’t abstract. It has a tangible impact on daily life. Clients often report improvements like:
For example, a client who once avoided driving due to panic attacks worked with Dr. Joaquim on gradual exposure paired with CBT. Today, they drive to work confidently and have regained their independence. These everyday victories are what make therapy life-changing.
