Understanding Anxiety

Anxiety is more than just occasional worry or stress—it's a common mental health condition that affects millions of people every day. It can show up in many forms, each with its own challenges, but all of them can deeply impact your ability to feel calm, confident, and in control.

At Core Self we’re here to help you better understand your anxiety, explore what you’re experiencing, and find a treatment plan that supports your healing and growth.

Types of Anxiety We Treat

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

Do you find yourself constantly worrying, even when there’s no clear reason to? GAD involves persistent and excessive worry about everyday situations—work, health, relationships, finances—and it can be difficult to manage without support.

Social Anxiety Disorder (Social Phobia)

Social anxiety isn’t just shyness. It’s an intense fear of being judged, embarrassed, or rejected in social situations. It can make everyday interactions—like speaking in meetings or going to social events—feel overwhelming or even impossible.

Panic Disorder

Panic attacks are sudden episodes of intense fear that come on quickly and without warning. You might experience physical symptoms like a racing heart, shortness of breath, chest pain, dizziness, or a feeling of losing control. Panic disorder is when these episodes happen repeatedly, often leading to avoidance of places or situations that might trigger them.

Separation Anxiety

Though often associated with children, adults can experience separation anxiety too. This form of anxiety involves extreme fear or distress about being apart from loved ones. It can interfere with work, relationships, and daily life.

You Deserve to Feel Better

Anxiety is treatable, and you don’t have to go through it alone. Whether your symptoms are new or something you've struggled with for years, our team of compassionate psychiatric providers can work with you to create a personalized plan using therapy, medication, or both.
