If you’ve been wondering whether what you’re feeling, the racing thoughts, the tight chest, the constant sense that something’s about to go wrong, adds up to more than a stressful week, this self-evaluation can help you think it through. It’s a short, private way to check in with yourself before you ever have to explain anything out loud to another person.
It takes a few minutes, there’s no login required, and nothing you enter here is shared or stored. Answer based on how things have actually been for you lately, not how you think you’re supposed to answer.
What This Tool Measures
This evaluation asks about the kinds of experiences commonly associated with anxiety: persistent worry that’s hard to control, restlessness, physical tension, trouble sleeping, irritability, and how much all of that has been getting in the way of your day-to-day life. The questions focus on frequency and intensity over the past couple of weeks, not a single hard day.
It’s built around the same general areas a clinician might ask about early in a conversation, not because it replaces that conversation, but because it can help you organize your own thinking before you have it. Anxiety shows up differently for different people, so some questions may feel like they describe you closely and others may feel completely off-base. That’s expected, and it’s part of why this is a starting point rather than an answer.
Take the Assessment
Answer each question honestly, based on the last two weeks or so. There’s no passing or failing this, and no one but you sees your answers unless you choose to share them.
What Your Results Mean
Your results will show a general range rather than a single verdict. A higher score suggests that what you’re experiencing lines up more closely with patterns commonly seen in anxiety, and that it may be worth exploring further with a professional. A lower score doesn’t mean nothing is going on; it just means this particular tool didn’t pick up a strong signal this time.
Either way, the number itself isn’t really the point. If taking this evaluation put words to something you’ve been feeling, that’s useful on its own, regardless of where you landed on the scale.
This Isn’t a Diagnosis
This self-evaluation is a screening tool, not a diagnosis. It cannot tell you whether you have an anxiety disorder, and no score from this page should be read as a medical or clinical conclusion. Only a licensed clinician, working with your full history and context, can actually assess and diagnose a condition. If your results raise questions for you, the next step is a conversation with a therapist, not a label from a web page.
What to Do Next
Whatever your results looked like, you’re welcome to talk to someone about them. Our therapists are fully licensed across Texas and see clients over secure, HIPAA-compliant video, so getting started doesn’t require finding an office near you, just a phone or laptop and a private place to talk.
If your results suggest anxiety might be part of what’s going on, our anxiety therapy page walks through how treatment works and what a first session looks like. If you’re not sure where to start, tell us a bit about what brought you here, and we’ll help match you with the right therapist.
