Anxiety Treatment

Therapy for anxiety involves working with a trained therapist to address the causes of your anxiety, learn strategies to manage symptoms and how to process your emotions, and develop healthier thinking patterns.

If anxiety interferes with your daily life, causing significant distress, avoidance behaviors, difficulty concentrating, restlessness, or physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat or sweating, it might be time to seek therapy. Everyone experiences anxiety differently, so if you find it overwhelming and persistent, professional help can provide relief.

In the first session, your therapist will ask about your history with anxiety, symptoms, how it affects your life, and any specific situations that trigger it. You'll discuss your goals for therapy and may begin to explore coping strategies. It's also an opportunity for you to ask questions and see if the therapist's approach aligns with your needs.

The duration of therapy for anxiety varies depending on the individual, the type of anxiety disorder, and the therapy approach. Some people see improvements within a few sessions, while others may need longer-term therapy to address deeper issues or more complex anxiety disorders. Your therapist will work with you to set a timeline that meets your needs.

Yes, therapy and medication can be complementary treatments for anxiety. While medication can help manage the physical symptoms of anxiety, therapy addresses the underlying causes and teaches coping mechanisms. A psychiatrist or a primary care doctor can prescribe medication, and your therapist can work in conjunction with your healthcare provider to coordinate a comprehensive treatment plan.

Our therapists have different rates based on experience, so your session rate is based on your therapist’s rate, the type of therapy and the length of session. All of our therapists have a few sliding-scale time slots at off hours for clients in financial need. You can talk to your therapist about this opportunity before your first session. Check our team page for more information on rates for each of our therapists.

While we do not take insurance directly, we are accepted as an “out-of-network” provider, so you can get any out-of-network benefits that your plan provides.

If you don’t have insurance, choose not to use your insurance, or don’t have out-of-network benefits, we accept private pay clients as well. In fact, most of our clients are private pay. We accept HSA, FSA, and HRA Cards. We also have a few sliding scale slots to individuals or couples in need (you can talk to one of our therapists for more information).
