Understanding Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health conditions and often require professional care to manage effectively. These conditions are closely linked to your body’s fight or flight response and can include excessive worry, difficulty sleeping, and episodes of panic.

When symptoms persist over time, anxiety can worsen, increasing the likelihood of physical health issues, straining relationships, and lowering overall quality of life. Our team of compassionate mental health professionals is here to provide a safe, supportive environment for effective anxiety treatment.

Anxiety Disorders We Treat in Agoura Hills

01

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

This is the most frequently diagnosed anxiety disorder, characterized by persistent and excessive worry or tension that occurs even without obvious triggers.

02

Panic Disorder

Involves sudden and repeated episodes of panic, often accompanied by physical symptoms such as chest discomfort, dizziness, or shortness of breath.

03

Social Anxiety Disorder

Marked by an intense fear of judgment or embarrassment in social situations, which can lead to avoidance and social withdrawal.

04

Specific Phobias

Involves strong, irrational fear of particular objects or situations, often causing harmful avoidance behaviors.

05

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Although not classified strictly as an anxiety disorder, PTSD can involve anxiety symptoms such as flashbacks and heightened alertness related to past trauma, which we are able to address.

06

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

A distinct anxiety disorder defined by intrusive, distressing thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental rituals (compulsions).

Treatments for Anxiety

Psychotherapy (Talk Therapy)

Our licensed therapists provide evidence-based psychological treatments, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure therapy, to help patients recognize anxious thought patterns, develop coping strategies, and reduce anxiety over time.

Psychiatric Medication Management

We carefully evaluate antianxiety medications and alternative treatments to ensure the safest and most effective options for both short-term and long-term care. Our psychiatrists are experienced in prescribing SSRIs, SNRIs, and beta blockers to correct chemical imbalances and support mental health.

Apollo TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)

Specifically beneficial for patients managing OCD, this non-invasive and drug-free brain stimulation therapy targets neural regions associated with obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors.

Neurofeedback

Frequently used as a complementary approach for anxiety disorders, Neurofeedback gives real-time feedback on brainwave activity, encouraging the brain to adapt and heal naturally through neuroplasticity.

Vielight Photobiomodulation (PBM)

Clinical studies have shown that PBM can reduce anxiety symptoms and enhance sleep quality, making it a promising option for those managing anxiety. The therapy uses non-ionizing light to support cognitive function, improve brain performance, and promote overall systemic wellness.

BrainTap

BrainTap combines several technologies to synchronize brainwaves and promote relaxation. The BrainTap Headset integrates light frequencies, auriculotherapy, audio beats and tones, guided visualization, and 10-cycle holographic music to assist in the treatment of mental health conditions.
