A Closer Look at Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety-related conditions are the most frequently diagnosed psychological disorders in the United States, affecting approximately 19.1 million adults between ages 18 and 54, with numbers increasing when older adults are included. These disorders can include panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, phobias (such as fear of flying, heights, or animals like lizards), and obsessive-compulsive disorder. All can result in persistent fear, overwhelming worry, and disruption in daily functioning.
Most experts agree that anxiety develops through a combination of biological and environmental factors. Treatment often involves individual psychotherapy to develop coping strategies, and cognitive behavioral therapy has consistently shown strong results across many anxiety-related conditions. In some cases, combining therapy with medication offers additional benefit.
Common Signs of Anxiety
Understanding OCD More Deeply
While OCD is categorized under anxiety disorders, its symptoms often look different. It affects men and women in equal numbers, with about one-third of adults reporting onset during childhood. OCD usually involves unwanted or intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive actions (compulsions) performed to relieve distress or prevent a feared event. Individuals typically recognize that these behaviors are excessive, time-consuming, and interfere with daily life.
Examples of OCD Behaviors
Understanding Depression and Other Mood Disorders
More than 14 million people are affected by depression, making an accurate diagnosis a critical first step in effective treatment. We also provide care for other mood conditions, including bipolar disorder (manic depression), dysthymia, and adjustment-related concerns.
Our clinicians use multiple evidence-based approaches—including cognitive-behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, and family-based treatments—to address emotional distress and its impact on relationships, daily functioning, energy, and motivation. We work alongside patients to improve sleep, concentration, appetite, and emotional stability while helping restore a sense of hope and forward movement. With professional treatment, approximately 80% of people experience significant improvement.
Individual Counseling Services
Individual therapy is offered to address a wide range of personal challenges and emotional concerns. Common areas supported include, but are not limited to:
Approach to Treatment
Our clinical team partners with patients (and when applicable, their families) to understand the underlying causes and triggers of their struggles. Guidance, support, and structured treatment planning are provided to ensure that patients receive the most effective and appropriate therapeutic options.
Therapy is designed to be a collaborative journey, where patients and family members (as needed) actively participate. Working together increases success, helps make challenges more manageable, and leads to meaningful and consistent improvement.
Couples and Relationship Counseling
In many cases, personal difficulties are influenced by the family system or relationship environment. Couples and family therapy shifts the focus from one person to the relationship itself, allowing partners—or families—to work together toward healthier communication and functioning.
