Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety disorders are one of the most common mental health problems in the U.S., affecting 25% of adolescents and 18% of adults, according to the Centers for Disease Control. However, The Anxiety and Depression Association of America (adaa.org) estimates that only 30% of the 40 million people who suffer from anxiety get the treatment they need. Anxiety disorders include problems with worrying, fears/phobias, obsessions, and panic attacks. Therapy can be quite helpful in remediating these challenges for children, teens, and adults. Relief can be found just around the corner for those who are motivated to incorporate the skills that their therapist teaches.

At Family Psychology Associates, our licensed psychologists and therapists can offer individual and group services to help alleviate your anxiety. If you are feeling overwhelmed or stressed, you can attend the Mindfulness Meditation workshop for adults, which is a small group focused on providing stress management skills through relaxation and guided imagery. Children may participate in small groups that teach relaxation and coping skills to decrease anxiety that may affect them at home, school or in social situations. Your treatment typically begins with an initial interview, with optional psychological testing to determine the severity of your anxiety. Recommendations regarding your individualized treatment plan will be provided after the assessment. For an appointment, please visit our Contact Us page.
