Patient and Kind Anxiety Treatment

Understanding Anxiety

Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health conditions, affecting millions of people each year. While some anxiety can be a normal response to stress, persistent or excessive anxiety may be a sign of a more serious issue.

There are several types of anxiety disorders, including:

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Persistent and excessive worry about everyday situations
Panic Disorder: Sudden and repeated episodes of intense fear, often with physical symptoms like a racing heart or shortness of breath
Social Anxiety Disorder: Intense fear of being judged or embarrassed in social settings
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Recurrent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions)
Specific Phobias: Extreme fear of specific objects or situations, such as flying or heights

Anxiety can also occur alongside depression, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), or other mental health conditions. That’s why our providers take a comprehensive, individualized approach to diagnosis and care.

Recognizing Symptoms of Anxiety

While everyone experiences anxiety differently, common symptoms include:

Constant worry of fear
Difficulty concentrating
Trouble sleeping or staying asleep
Irritability or restlessness
Avoidance of triggering situations
Muscle tension or trembling
Nausea, dizziness, or shortness of breath
Sudden feelings of panic or dread

If these symptoms are interfering with your daily life, relationships, or work, seeking professional support at our anxiety treatment center is a positive first step.

Our Approach to Treating Anxiety

Personalized Treatment Plans

At our anxiety treatment center, we develop custom care plans based on a full evaluation of your symptoms, medical history, and personal goals. Treatment may include:

Medication Management

Our board-certified psychiatrists and nurse practitioners prescribe and monitor medications designed to ease anxiety symptoms. We’ll work with you to find the right medication and dosage, focusing on safety, effectiveness, and minimizing side effects.

Individual Therapy

Evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches help patients understand the root of their anxiety, reframe negative thought patterns, and build lifelong healthy coping skills.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

For patients who haven’t responded to traditional treatments, we offer Brainsway Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy—an FDA-cleared, non-invasive option that’s effective for OCD and shows promising results for other anxiety-related disorders.
