Therapy for Overthinking

---

You can’t stop thinking.
About the text you sent, the thing you said in that meeting, the to-do list that never ends, or what someone might be thinking about you. 

Overthinking isn’t just annoying—it’s exhausting. It keeps you up at night, fuels your anxiety, and makes everyday decisions feel like life-or-death choices. 

At Awakening Mountains, we offer mindfulness-based therapy for overthinking to teens and adults across New York and Vermont who are ready to feel less mentally flooded and more emotionally anchored. 

• Replaying conversations over and over in your head 
• Constantly planning for worst-case scenarios 
• Struggling to make decisions without endless pros-and-cons lists 
• Feeling emotionally flooded by even small interactions 
• Lying awake at night running through your mental to-do list 
• Over-apologizing or overexplaining things to avoid being misunderstood 
• Getting stuck in "analysis paralysis" or perfectionist loops 

Overthinking is often misunderstood—it’s not just being “too thoughtful.” It’s a nervous system stuck in high alert. 

 You can’t always “logic your way out” of an anxious thought spiral. But you can learn to shift your relationship to your thoughts. 

In therapy, we’ll use mindfulness and self-compassion to: 

• Notice your thought patterns without judgment 
• Build awareness of when you're activated vs. grounded 
• Develop tools to pause spirals before they hijack your day 
• Reconnect with your body (instead of living in your head) 
• Learn that not every thought deserves a reaction 

•  How your overthinking developed (spoiler: it probably kept you emotionally safe at one point) 
• How to regulate your nervous system through breath, body cues, and sensory awareness 
• How to reframe overthinking from a problem to a pattern you can shift 
• How to replace the “what ifs” with the “what is” 

 This space is especially supportive for: 

• High-functioning adults with anxiety masked as productivity 
• Teens or college students overwhelmed by pressure and decisions 
• Women and caregivers who are constantly “on” and never get to pause 
• Neurodivergent individuals who experience internal noise and sensory overload 
• First-time therapy seekers who are tired of spiraling alone  

 Grounding. Gentle. Real. 

Therapy with me isn’t about silencing your thoughts—it’s about responding to them differently. You’ll learn how to notice spirals, disrupt them, and return to yourself with more calm and clarity. 

We’ll make space for real conversation, nervous system awareness, and tools you can use between sessions. And we’ll move at a pace that feels safe, not overwhelming.
