Anxiety therapy in
New York City
Expert support from anxiety specialists to manage the worry and stress interfering with your life.
What is anxiety?
Anxiety is a common reaction to stress, and can be a normal response to threatening situations that trigger fear or dread. For high-performing New Yorkers, anxiety often goes undiagnosed, mistaken for a commitment to excellence or ambition, until symptoms worsen and begin to impair your daily responsibilities.
With GAD, you may excessively worry about everyday things like your health, money, or job — usually with no clear cause. Your anxiety may affect your professional and personal life, leading to physical symptoms like fatigue, irritability, and muscle tension.
Phobias cause intense fears about certain subjects or situations, such as flying or heights. Social anxiety disorder is a type of phobia that causes fear and excessive worry about social situations and may prevent you from enjoying a vibrant life in the city.
Frequent, unexpected panic attacks can feel like drowning in a wave of sudden, intense fear or discomfort. Symptoms during a panic attack may feel as severe and terrifying as a heart attack, including physical sensations like shortness of breath, sweating, or heart palpitations.
