Anxiety Disorder Treatment

What is an anxiety disorder?

Everyone feels anxious from time to time before an interview, a big test, or when facing an uncertain decision. This kind of anxiety is natural and often helpful. It alerts us to danger, sharpens our focus, and motivates us to act. But for millions of people, anxiety goes far beyond occasional nerves. An anxiety disorder is a mental health condition that causes excessive fear, worry, or dread that interferes with daily functioning. If you're struggling with an anxiety disorder, you might experience overwhelming thoughts, emotional distress, and even physical symptoms like a racing heart, shortness of breath, or muscle tension often without a clear cause.

Types of Anxiety Disorders We Treat

Anxiety disorders come in many forms. At TEMA Therapy, we treat a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Persistent, excessive worry about everyday matters like work, finances, or health even when there’s little or no reason to worry.
  • Panic Disorder: Sudden, intense panic attacks that happen without warning and create a fear of losing control or having another attack.
  • Social Anxiety Disorder: Intense fear of being judged, watched, or embarrassed in social situations.
  • Agoraphobia: Fear of places or situations where escape might be difficult, leading to avoidance of crowds, public spaces, or even leaving home.
  • Specific Phobias: An intense, irrational fear of a specific object or situation such as flying, heights, or certain animals that disrupts your life.
  • Separation Anxiety Disorder: Ongoing fear or distress when away from loved ones, often seen in children but also affecting adults.
  • Selective Mutism: Inability to speak in specific social situations, often due to intense fear or anxiety.

Other related disorders like OCD, PTSD, and Acute Stress Disorder share features with anxiety but are considered separate conditions. We provide treatment for these as well.

What Causes Anxiety Disorders?

Anxiety disorders often result from a complex mix of factors:

  • Chemical Imbalances: Disruptions in brain chemicals like serotonin, dopamine, and GABA can affect mood regulation.
  • Brain Structure: An overactive amygdala the brain’s fear center may cause heightened reactions to stress or perceived danger.
  • Genetics: If anxiety runs in your family, you may be more likely to develop it.
  • Life Events & Trauma: Stressful life experiences, childhood adversity, or trauma can trigger anxiety disorders.
  • Personality: People with certain personality traits like being perfectionistic or highly sensitive may be more prone to anxiety.

Принимаете ли вы страховки? Как я могу позволить себе терапию?

Центр терапии "TEMA" не работает напрямую со страховыми компаниями, но наши пациенты, имеющие медицинскую страховку с льготами вне сети, обычно получают возмещение от страховых компаний в размере от 60 до 70% от стоимости лечения. Мы предоставляем все необходимые формы для получения таких компенсаций. Большинство наших терапевтов предлагают сеансы по скользящей шкале для тех, кто действительно испытывает финансовые трудности. Кроме того, у нас есть терапевты-стажеры, оплата услуг которых значительно ниже и которые работают под наблюдением наших опытных специалистов. Другими словами, мы стремимся сделать терапию доступной для многих.

What’s the difference between normal anxiety and an anxiety disorder?

Normal anxiety is temporary and often related to a specific situation. An anxiety disorder is persistent, excessive, and disrupts daily life.

Can anxiety go away on its own?

Mild anxiety may improve with self-care, but untreated anxiety disorders can worsen over time. Professional treatment is highly recommended.

How is anxiety diagnosed?

A licensed therapist or mental health provider will assess your symptoms, personal history, and may use standardized tools to diagnose anxiety.

Do I need medication to treat anxiety?

Not always. Many people benefit from therapy alone. Medications may be helpful in some cases, and we can guide you through your options.

Is therapy confidential?

Yes. Everything discussed in therapy is strictly confidential, except in cases where safety is a concern, as required by law.

How long does treatment take?

Treatment duration varies. Some people feel better within a few months, while others may benefit from ongoing support.

Can children and teens receive anxiety treatment at TEMA?

Absolutely. We provide therapy for children, adolescents, and adults struggling with anxiety and related issues.

Can I attend therapy virtually?

Yes! We offer secure teletherapy sessions for clients who prefer to receive support from the comfort of the home.
