Anxeity with Sea Change Counseling

Anxiety is a disorder that causes persistent feelings of worry or dread that are out of proportion to the actual circumstances.

Several types of anxiety disorders affect adults and children, including generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). GAD triggers ongoing worries about work, family, finances, and career that persist daily for six months or longer, even when no danger or threat is present.

Sea Change Counseling can also address other anxiety-related disorders, such as:

• Panic disorder
• General and social phobias
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

The providers take an empathetic approach to assessing your anxiety symptoms and customize a care plan to keep them well-controlled.

Schedule an anxiety evaluation at Sea Change Counseling if you or your child experiences persistent symptoms of anxiety, such as:

• Restlessness
• Persistent worry
• Anxious or intrusive thoughts
• Withdrawal from loved ones
• Avoidance of people, places, or events
• Extreme fear of objects or situations

Anxiety disorders can also cause physical symptoms like a pounding heart, sweating, shortness of breath, and dizziness.

Sea Change Counseling offers comprehensive mental health evaluations and reviews your symptoms to confirm an anxiety disorder. The providers customize a treatment plan to ease anxious feelings and intrusive thoughts so you can regain control over your life.

Sea Change Counseling offers compassionate anxiety treatments for kids and adults. A treatment plan typically uses a combination of psychotherapy and medications to keep anxiety well-controlled in the long term.

Psychotherapy is a type of talk therapy that helps you recognize intrusive or worrisome thoughts and negative behaviors. Your therapist gives you tools you can use to relax and better cope with your anxiety symptoms.

When therapy isn’t enough to manage anxiety, you might need a prescription antidepressant or anti-anxiety medication. The prescription drugs work by increasing serotonin and other brain chemicals to stabilize your mood and provide lasting relief from intrusive thoughts.

The providers offer medication management services to ensure you take anxiety medications correctly. They also continue to supervise your success with treatment and can make adjustments to your care plan as needed.
