ANXIETY

Anxiety has been defined in many ways and may or may not include panic attacks. It has been described using terms like uneasiness, apprehension, and worry. Sometimes it includes an intense fear or dread that lacks a specific cause. If you are experiencing panic experiences or anxiety that inhibits your fulfilling your potential, then counseling has proven effectiveness in not only relieving symptoms, but also in resolving issues that may alleviate future anxiety.

Because anxiety disorders are very distressing, we realize the importance of gaining some control of symptoms early in treatment. To this end, you will learn a variety of relaxation techniques including deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, visualization, hypnosis, and/or self-hypnosis. These techniques help you to take back control of your physiological responses so that you can begin to address factors that may be causing your anxieties
