Adults have a 30% likelihood of developing an anxiety disorder in their lifetime.

More Than Just Being Nervous
Being anxious can be a normal reaction to stress. When it becomes excessive we feel out of control which leads to more anxiety until it becomes chronic. Run away anxiety affects our day-to-day life, work and relationships.

Stuck In Fight-Flight?
Often confused with fear, a healthy, normal reaction to a threat, anxiety is our fight-flight reaction stuck in overdrive. Anxiety triggers a physical reaction that stops our ability to think clearly and function reasonably.
/Irving Kirsch
A Good Therapist Is Your Expert Guide
People who are chronically anxious cannot simply will themselves to feel better or just “snap out of it.” A good therapist is your expert guide. In addition to feeling emotionally safe and stronger, you gain insight and tools that last a lifetime.

Elvira G. Aletta, PhD
Founder & CEO
Life gave Dr. Aletta the opportunity to know what it’s like to hurt physically and emotionally. After an episode of serious depression in her mid-twenties, Dr. Aletta was diagnosed with a rare kidney disease that relapsed throughout her adulthood. While treatable, the cure was often as hard to bear as the disease. Later she was diagnosed with scleroderma, another chronic illness.
Throughout, Dr. Aletta battled with anxiety. Despite all this, Dr. Aletta wants you to know, you can learn to engage in life again on your terms.
Good therapy helped Dr. Aletta. She knows good therapy can help you. That’s why she created Explore What’s Next.
