What is an Anxiety Disorder?
Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health disorders in the United States, affecting 40 million adults. That’s 18% of the population! Despite how common they are, anxiety disorders are often misunderstood and misrepresented. People with anxiety disorders are not simply people who are overly “worried” or “stressed out.” They experience intense, disabling symptoms that can make it difficult to function in daily life. Anxiety disorders are divided into several unique types. Each affects the sufferer differently and may require specific treatment. Getting a correct diagnosis can help you target the treatment more specifically.
- Panic Disorder
- Agoraphobia
- Social Anxiety
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Anxiety Disorder Treatment Options
Our team of experienced and licensed clinicians offer evidence-based approaches to treat the symptoms of Anxiety Disorders, such as:
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is the process of psychologists and patients working together to identify specific concerns and develop techniques to try and treat those concerns. Patients can expect to practice their new skills in a clinical setting and put them to use in real-world situations.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps replace negative, ingrained thoughts that may be triggering with more realistic thought processes. Patients can begin to climb out of the dark hole of anxious thinking and control their reactions to anything causing their anxiety.
Medications
Medication is a safe and effective way to treat anxiety disorders that have been used for decades. Researchers have improved modern medications to maximize benefits and minimize the side effects of Anxiety. While some anxiety medication works to prevent your symptoms, other medications are designed to neutralize the symptoms after they occur.
