Anxiety Therapy Services
Specialized Support for Generalized Anxiety, Panic, and Phobias
Anxiety is one of the most common mental health conditions in the United States, and rates have been rising across generations and populations. Many individuals, particularly women, experience ongoing worry, chronic stress, or persistent fear that feels out of proportion to everyday challenges (NAMI). Biological, psychological, and social pressures can all fuel anxiety, and seeking help isn’t a sign of weakness - it’s a step toward reclaiming your life and peace of mind.
At Recovered & Restored Eating Disorder Therapy Center, we offer specialized anxiety therapy for individuals seeking relief from Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), panic disorders, and phobias. Even though we’re known for eating disorder support, our anxiety services stand on their own and are available to anyone in need, regardless of whether you’re also working on eating-related challenges.
Understanding Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety disorders are not simply “stress” or occasional nervousness. They are persistent patterns of worry, fear, or avoidance that significantly interfere with daily life (National Institute of Mental Health). Three common types we treat include:
-
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Persistent, excessive worry about a variety of everyday concerns that feels difficult to control and causes physical tension and restlessness.
-
Panic Disorder: Repeated episodes of intense fear or discomfort accompanied by physical symptoms such as heart palpitations, shortness of breath, shaking, or a sense of impending doom.
-
Phobias: Strong, persistent fear of specific situations or objects (such as heights, driving, social settings) that leads to avoidance and distress.
These disorders can affect anyone - students, working adults, parents, caregivers, and professionals- and may show up differently from person to person. While occasional anxiety is a normal part of life, an anxiety disorder persists beyond typical stress responses and requires targeted support.
Our Approach to Anxiety Therapy
At Recovered & Restored, our clinicians use a variety of evidence-based therapy modalities that have been shown to reduce anxiety symptoms and improve coping skills. These approaches are similar to tools used in other areas of mental health and are tailored to your goals, experiences, and preferences:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT):
CBT is widely regarded as a gold-standard treatment for anxiety disorders. It helps clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns and develop more balanced, realistic thinking. Clients also learn behavioral strategies like exposure and relaxation techniques to reduce fear and avoidance.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills:
DBT teaches skills in distress tolerance, emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. These tools help individuals manage intense feelings, reduce reactivity, and respond to anxiety with greater calm and clarity. Learn more about the Effectively Skills in DBT here.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT):
ACT helps clients clarify values and move toward meaningful action, even in the presence of anxious thoughts and sensations. Rather than trying to suppress anxiety, ACT supports acceptance of internal experiences while living in alignment with what matters most.
Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques:
We incorporate practices that cultivate body awareness, calm nervous system activation, and provide a sense of grounded presence. Techniques like guided breathing and progressive relaxation help reduce chronic tension and promote emotional balance. Check out our free journal prompts here.
Why Anxiety Therapy Works
Anxiety often feels like a “stuck” cycle of threats, worry, and avoidance. Therapy works by helping your brain learn new ways of processing those signals, shifting from constant alertness and fear to balanced awareness and choice. With consistent support, clients often notice that:
-
Worries no longer dominate their attention
-
Panic attacks decrease in frequency and intensity
-
Avoidance behaviors lessen
-
Confidence and resilience grow
-
Daily activities feel more manageable and meaningful
Seeking professional support can be life-changing - not just coping with symptoms but learning how to live fully despite anxiety. Self-care habits and boundary setting are essential components of anxiety management that we encourage alongside therapy.
Anxiety Therapy That Works for You
Whether your anxiety shows up as excessive worrying, sudden panic attacks, or specific phobias that limit your life, our clinicians can help you build skills and clarity. You’ll work one-on-one with a therapist trained in evidence-based treatment who will listen deeply, tailor interventions to your needs, and guide you toward lasting change.
