Anxiety Treatment

Treatment begins with a thorough 80-minute diagnostic evaluation that distinguishes among anxiety subtypes and identifies co-occurring conditions. From this assessment, a personalized plan integrates psychotherapy and, where clinically indicated, medication management within a single provider relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) serves as a primary modality, helping patients recognize and restructure maladaptive thought patterns that sustain anxious responses. Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) offers targeted intervention for patients whose anxiety centers on avoidance behaviors or obsessive worry cycles. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills training and psychodynamic exploration supplement these approaches when emotional regulation or underlying relational patterns warrant deeper examination. Pharmacological options are evaluated alongside therapeutic progress, ensuring that any medication decision reflects the full clinical picture rather than isolated symptom management.
