Anxiety & Panic Attacks

Call (818) 907-7974

Anxiety & Panic Attacks

Most people encounter stressful events that cause anxiety at some point in their lives. The National Institute of Mental Health explains, “Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress, but when anxiety becomes an excessive, irrational dread of everyday situations, it has become a disabling disorder.”

How Can You Identify an Anxiety Disorder?

Anxiety disorders are commonly accompanied by a wide range of physical symptoms such as heart palpitation, fatigue, shortness of breath, headaches, sweating and stomach aches. If you are suffering from an anxiety disorder, you may feel restless, irritable and fearful that something bad is going to happen. You often can’t stop worrying, even when the worry is unrealistic or out of proportion to the situation. Your anxiety can interfere with relationships and can affect daily living.

What are Panic Attacks?

Panic attacks are intense bouts of fear or anxiety. Some people who suffer from panic attacks have said they were afraid they were having a heart attack. While panic attacks can be scary, they can be treated to reduce symptoms.

Professional Help to Resolve Anxiety & Panic Attacks

A trained therapist fully understands that anxiety affects you physically, behaviorally, emotionally and mentally. When you turn to Community Psychological Services, you will work together with your therapist to develop ways to reduce your reactions to stressful situations and help you to understand your anxiety and its effects on relationships.

Therapy will involve:

  • Examining ways to help you change your reactions to situations or thoughts you associate with the anxiety
  • Teaching you skills that will reduce negative feelings
  • Help you create new ways of dealing with and/ or resolving your distress

Our Therapy

Services

Our therapists offer caring and confidential services for:

Couples Counseling

Conflict and misunderstanding with a spouse or life partner can be challenging, but it can also be an impetus for growth and deepen your relationship. We work with individuals and couples, including same-sex couples, to strengthen your connection.

Communication

Communication can often be the most challenging issue in any relationship. Differing ideas about finances, child-rearing or health concerns can often create a wall between you and a loved one. We can help you develop tools to facilitate constructive dialogue and help eliminate blaming and name-calling.

Work Stress

You can spend up to half of your waking life at work. When it’s a persistent source of stress or anxiety, it can affect the rest of your life as well. We will help you effectively deal with any work-related issue, from relentless pressure to an unexpected termination.

Depression

Are you struggling to get through every day? Are you having trouble finding pleasure and a sense of well-being? Do you often feel like the things you do simply don’t make a difference? You could be suffering from depression. We can help you develop tools to combat feelings of helplessness and recognize the events that trigger negative feelings.

Loneliness

We all need to be alone at times, but loneliness can be crushing, leading to anxiety, listlessness and low self-esteem. We can help you pinpoint the underlying causes of your loneliness and help you develop tools to make yourself more available to others.

Gay / LGBTQ

Discriminated against or bullied because of your sexual orientation? Finding it difficult to be your authentic self with loved ones? We offer a supportive and non-judgmental approach, helping you deal with the social and personal challenges when you identify as LGBTQ.

Anxiety/Panic Attacks

We all feel anxiety or panic at some point in our lives. It shouldn’t cause us to withdraw from those we love or limit our connection with others. At Affordable Therapy, we have the tools to help you anticipate and respond to panic attacks, so that they don’t control your life. We know how scary panic attacks and anxiety can be. We have the techniques to help you reduce these symptoms.

Grief

Grief is often an ordinary and difficult part of life, but it’s different for everyone. When you’ve lost a loved one, you can struggle with knowing when and how to move forward. We can help you find healthy and constructive ways to feel and express your loss.

Addiction

Getting addictive behavior under control is hard work, but keeping it in check can often be more difficult. Whether its substance abuse, food, shopping, sex or gambling, we can help you identify problem behaviors and put practices in place to stay clean.

Adult Survivors of Child Abuse

When you’ve been the victim of child abuse, trust can be elusive, making relationships difficult and challenging. The effects of abuse can touch almost every area of your life. We offer a safe and non-threatening environment to help you develop ways to cope and move forward.

Crisis Intervention

Crisis can often seem a regular part of modern life. Whether it’s a natural disaster, a physical assault or relationship changes, unexpected events can paralyze you. We offer tools to help you effectively respond to fear, anger, grief and other potentially harmful emotions.

Stepparenting

Being a stepparent can often feel like a “no-win” situation. Your spouse hopes for a closer bond and your stepchildren can often be resistant. We can help you find ways to develop good relationships with your stepchildren, based on love, trust, support and understanding.
