ANXIETY

I know what it’s like to feel dismissed, rushed, or uncomfortable with traditional care. That’s why I strive to create a compassionate, judgment-free space where you feel safe, seen, and deeply understood. I provide comprehensive care that honors your full story—mind, body, and spirit. I center flexibility and accessibility with a wide range of scheduling options to meet the demands of busy lives.My approach is patient-centered and collaborative. I focus on your unique goals and make sure that the concerns bringing you into care are addressed. You’ll leave each session with a clear plan that reflects your unique voice, autonomy, and values. I don’t hand you a treatment plan—I co-create it with you.

By integrating multiple dimensions of care, I aim to create a personalized treatment plan that fosters sustainable healing and growth—rooted in empathy, depth, and integrity.

During our in-depth 90-minute intake appointment, we will move beyond surface-level concerns. I take a holistic view of psychiatric wellness, exploring your emotional, physical, social, lifestyle, and spiritual health to gain a full understanding of your history and current needs. This includes a collaborative mapping of your wellness, allowing us to identify both areas of resilience and those in need of support.

Are there different types of anxiety?

You can develop one or more of the eight primary anxiety disorders. The five most common include:

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

Persistent, excessive worry about everyday events, often without a clear reason, causing restlessness, difficulty concentrating, and physical tension.

Panic
Disorder

Sudden, unexpected panic attacks with intense fear, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, leading to worry about future episodes.

Social Anxiety Disorder

Intense fear of social situations, being judged, embarrassed, or rejected, leading to avoidance of interactions and impaired daily functioning.

Specific
Phobias

Irrational, intense fear of particular objects, places, or situations (like heights or spiders), triggering avoidance behavior and strong anxiety responses.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Recurrent, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions) performed to reduce distress, disrupting daily routines and overall mental well-being.

This disorder causes frequent panic attacks that suddenly occur without an obvious anxiety trigger.

What are the symptoms of anxiety?

Each anxiety disorder has unique symptoms, but all may cause symptoms such as:
  • Worry and dread
  • Restlessness or nervousness
  • Irritability
  • Insomnia
  • Fatigue
  • Nausea
  • Headaches
  • Muscle aches
  • Racing thoughts
  • Difficulty concentrating

How is anxiety treated?

The Intuitive Mind Behavioral Health team begins by learning about your anxiety and completing a psychiatric assessment. Then they create a treatment plan that may include medication, therapy, or a combination.

Your provider may prescribe anti-anxiety medications to reduce severe symptoms or prevent panic attacks. Antidepressants also calm anxiety even if you’re not depressed.

Many people with anxiety improve with therapy. One proven approach, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), may teach you to identify and change thoughts that trigger anxiety or help confront your fears.

Don’t wait to seek help for overwhelming anxiety. Call Intuitive Mind Behavioral Health or book online today.
