Find Peace With Therapy for Anxiety and Panic Attacks
Anxiety can feel overwhelming and all-consuming.
What if there were a better way to manage your anxiety instead of it managing you?
There is. Though humans have a natural stress response, sometimes it can become so overwhelming that it becomes paralyzing. Therapy for anxiety helps you get in tune with your natural stress responses and get anxiety under control.
I specialize in the treatment of anxiety and related disorders. Don’t hesitate to reach out – anxiety is treatable with the right help and support.
Am I Anxious?
If you have to ask, the answer is probably a yes. Here are some signs that you should take it seriously and seek help:
- Worry” you can’t control or racing thoughts
- Imagining scenarios over and over that have never happened OR imagining scenarios over and over about the future (and probably won’t happen)
- You imagine all of the worst-case scenarios so you can feel “prepared"
- Feel “panic” at the thought of doing something that you’re not doing yet
- Avoid people and places to try to manage a feeling you have
- Feeling like you need to escape, now!
- Physically feel short of breath, nauseous, shaky, lightheaded, tension, racing heartbeat, flushes of heat, dizziness
- Feelings of irritation or annoyance with yourself, others, or just about anything
- Can’t sleep because your mind just won’t “shut off”
- Can’t concentrate or have difficulty remembering things
- Losing track of things you think you should know where they are (where’s my wallet, keys, phone, etc.?)
Everyone experiences some level of anxiety. The good news? You aren’t alone, and with online anxiety treatment, it’s possible to manage and greatly reduce the symptoms of anxiety disorders.
There are many kinds of anxiety...
Anxiety isn’t one-size-fits-all. There are many manifestations of anxiety, the most common of which I’ll describe below. If any of the following sounds like you, know you’re not alone and help is just a phone call away.
Do you have frequent panic attacks? These include physical symptoms such as chest pains, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, and dizziness. If so, you may have panic disorder.
This is a very physical manifestation of anxiety. Panic disorder can be a scary experience, and it is completely treatable. With therapy, the symptoms of panic disorder can be greatly reduced.
Do you feel like it’s hard to interact with other people in certain situations? Do you feel panicked at the thought of having to go out sometimes? It’s possible that you may suffer from social anxiety.
Symptoms of social anxiety can include:
- Losing your words or not knowing what to say
- Difficulty tracking conversations
- Worry about what others may be thinking or feeling
- Self-consciousness
- Loss of focus
- Fear of failure
- Redness or blushing you can’t control
- Plus, all of the other physical symptoms of anxiety can be present
Social anxiety can keep you from living the life you want to live. It can stop you from connecting with others, trying new things, and fulfilling your goals and dreams. But it doesn’t have to dictate or limit how you live your life.
Therapy for social anxiety can help you navigate social settings in a way that feels safe and comfortable. With the proper support, you can become a more confident person.
OCD can lead to compulsive actions and unmanageable thoughts. It can cause interruptions to daily living and make life complicated. It can bring feelings of shame and cause you to withdraw from life.
However, with the right treatment, OCD is something that can be managed. You can live the life that you want.
