Anxiety Treatment & Counseling Services

We live in difficult times, and anxiety is on the rise.

1 out of 3 adults in the U.S. experience an anxiety disorder at some point in their lives.

Anxiety can take on my forms, including Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Social Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), or a specific phobia. Anxiety can be debilitating and isolating, keeping you from the life you want.

Living with an anxiety disorder often feels like you're constantly on edge, as if your mind is stuck in a loop of worst-case scenarios. There’s a sense of dread, where everyday situations can trigger overwhelming worry and fear. Your heart races, muscles tense, and thoughts spiral out of control, making it difficult to concentrate or enjoy the moment.

Social interactions can feel daunting, and even simple tasks seem insurmountable. It's a battle between wanting to escape and striving to maintain control, all while trying to appear calm and composed on the outside.

Fortunately, effective therapy can help.

At Embark, we use research-backed, gold standard approaches to that empower you to overcome anxiety.

Treatments for Anxiety include:

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

    • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) offers a transformative approach to managing anxiety. Rather than battling against anxious thoughts and feelings, ACT encourages individuals to embrace them as part of the human experience. Through mindfulness and acceptance strategies, ACT helps individuals detach from the grip of anxiety, fostering a sense of psychological flexibility. This therapy emphasizes clarifying personal values and committing to actions that align with those values, empowering individuals to lead meaningful lives despite anxiety. By focusing on the present moment and accepting what is beyond control, ACT provides a compassionate and effective path to reducing the impact of anxiety.

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

    • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a highly effective treatment for anxiety that focuses on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviors. By breaking the cycle of unhelpful thoughts and reactions, CBT helps individuals develop healthier ways of thinking and responding to anxiety-provoking situations. This therapy involves practical, evidence-based techniques such as cognitive restructuring, exposure therapy, and relaxation training. Through CBT, individuals learn to recognize and alter distorted thinking, reduce avoidance behaviors, and build coping skills. By addressing the root causes of anxiety and fostering resilience, CBT empowers individuals to regain control and lead more balanced, fulfilling lives.

  • Exposure and Response Prevention

    • Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a specialized and highly effective treatment for anxiety. ERP involves gradually exposing individuals to feared situations or thoughts without engaging in the usual compulsive behaviors or avoidance tactics. This process helps retrain the brain, reducing the anxiety response over time. By confronting fears in a controlled and supportive environment, individuals learn that their anxiety diminishes naturally without the need for avoidance or rituals. ERP empowers individuals to break free from the cycle of anxiety and compulsions, fostering resilience and significantly improving their quality of life.
