Do Body Sensations Control Your Life?

Understanding the False Alarm.

Panic disorder is characterized by unexpected, persistent panic attacks and a significant worry about future attacks. You might feel like you're having a heart attack, losing your mind, or suffocating.

The "trick" of panic is that your brain misinterprets normal physical sensations as life-threatening emergencies. This creates a loop: a sensation triggers fear, fear creates more sensations, and the cycle continues.

Identify triggers and physical cues early.

Learn that discomfort is not danger.

Remove areas of avoidance that keep you stuck.

Evidence-Based Treatment Methods

We utilize the "Gold Standard" of clinical research to ensure you get back to living your life as quickly as possible.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps you gain insight into the thoughts and behaviors that contribute to the symptoms of panic attacks. You will learn to challenge catastrophic thinking and replace it with objective reality.

Interoceptive Exposure

This is the "gold standard" for panic. You will purposely (and safely) face physical sensations that you fear, such as a racing heart or dizziness, until your brain learns they are not dangerous.

Mindfulness & ACT

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you stop fighting against your anxiety. By accepting the presence of uncomfortable feelings, you can take action toward a life based on your values.

What To Expect From Therapy

Focused Evaluation

We start with a comprehensive assessment to understand your specific triggers and how panic has impacted your life.

Active Coping Skills

Instead of just talking about the problem, we give you concrete tools to use during high-anxiety moments immediately.

Gradual Exposure

We never throw you in the deep end. We build an exposure hierarchy together and face fears at a pace you can handle.

Lasting Recovery

Our goal is to work ourselves out of a job. We teach you how to be your own therapist so you can handle future challenges independently.

A Space Designed for Healing

Recovering from panic disorder requires a sense of safety. Our office environment is designed to be warm, private, and comfortable—providing the perfect backdrop for you to do the hard work of exposure and growth.

Panic disorder is a type of anxiety disorder characterized by recurrent, unexpected panic attacks. These attacks are intense periods of fear or discomfort that reach a peak within minutes and are accompanied by physical and cognitive symptoms. Common symptoms of a panic attack include a pounding or racing heartbeat, sweating, trembling, shortness of breath, chest pain, dizziness, nausea, chills or hot flashes, feelings of unreality or detachment, and fear of losing control or dying.

People with panic disorder often live in fear of experiencing another panic attack, which can lead to avoidance behaviors and significant disruptions in daily life.

With proper treatment and support, many individuals with panic disorder can learn to cope with their symptoms effectively and lead fulfilling lives. Our team of licensed therapists can help you learn to manage Panic Disorder and lessen the burden it has on your life.
