Anxiety

An umbrella of disorders that share a common signature: a body and mind on alert when there is no real threat.

Anxiety is not weakness — it is a protection system working too hard. Treatment is about teaching that system when it can safely stand down.

Common symptoms

  • Fast heartbeat
  • Sweating, shaking, dizziness
  • Overthinking and difficulty concentrating
  • Feeling nervous or restless
  • Avoiding certain situations

Forms it can take

  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder
  • Panic Disorder
  • Social Anxiety
  • Phobias
  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
  • Separation Anxiety

How we work on it

CBT combined with gradual, structured exposure has the strongest evidence base. We map the cycle that keeps anxiety alive, then practice — in and out of session — until your nervous system learns a new response.
