Care for generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and separation anxiety, for teens through adults.
Anxiety is the body's alarm system running when there's no real danger present — racing thoughts, a tight chest, trouble sleeping, or a constant sense of dread that doesn't match what's actually happening. Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) involves persistent, hard-to-control worry across many areas of life. Left unaddressed, anxiety can shrink your world, making ordinary situations feel exhausting to face. We treat several forms, including GAD, panic disorder, and separation anxiety, with a combination of medication and therapy suited to how anxiety shows up for you.
Worry that comes and goes with a stressful event is normal. Generalized anxiety disorder tends to be harder to control, shows up even when nothing is obviously wrong, and starts interfering with sleep, work, or relationships. Panic disorder specifically involves sudden, intense episodes — a racing heart, shortness of breath, a feeling of losing control — that can happen without warning.
It depends on the person and the severity. Many patients do well with therapy alone, especially for milder anxiety; others benefit from medication alongside therapy, particularly with panic disorder or more persistent GAD. We'll talk through what fits your situation during your evaluation.
Yes. We treat generalized, panic-related, and separation anxiety starting at age 13, with care adjusted for the patient's developmental stage — often involving parents directly as part of the plan.
