Anxiety Therapy for Young Adults
Anxiety for Working Professionals
Are you a young adult working professional suffering from anxiety? Anxiety can keep you from doing things that you want to do. You are not alone!
Many people struggle with at least one of the many types of anxiety, including Generalized Anxiety, Panic Attacks, OCD, PTSD, Phobia, and Social Anxiety Disorder. Anxiety affects over 40 million adults in the US over the age of 18, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. Unfortunately, many people do not seek professional help and continue to suffer from their debilitating symptoms of anxiety, panic attacks and phobias. You might think you can just “get over it” and it will go away in time. Sometimes that is true, but the problem can also escalate and cause great distress and be more difficult to resolve.

+ Do I really need therapy to address my anxiety?
You may be able to reduce your mild anxiety symptoms by making some lifestyle adjustments, such as eating a healthy diet and exercising on a regular basis. However, if you have moderate to severe anxiety that has plagued you for months to years, it may be time to seek professional help.
+ Why not just take medication?
You may choose to take medication to relieve your symptoms. Research indicates that therapy and lifestyle changes can work just as well if not better than medication, especially for mild or moderate anxiety. This is a personal decision that should be discussed with your doctor, and your therapist if you are working with one. Often a combination of medication and anxiety therapy can be most helpful for more severe anxiety.
