Anxiety Treatment
Unveiling the Layers of Anxiety, One Step at a Time
Understanding
Anxiety
Anxiety is not just an emotion but a complex psychological condition that can manifest in various forms—Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety, Panic Disorder, and more. It affects not only your mind but also your body, and its impact can be debilitating. At An Integrated Self, we understand this complex interplay because our primary therapist, Sunny Brown, has personally battled with severe anxiety.
Our Approach
We take a multidisciplinary approach to treating anxiety. By combining evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Solution-Focused Therapy, we tailor the treatment to your unique needs.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT aims to help you become aware of negative thought patterns and equip you with strategies to challenge and alter them.
Somatic Therapy
Somatic therapy is a holistic approach to mental well-being that integrates both body and mind. By incorporating mindfulness, breathing techniques, and physical movement, somatic therapy seeks to release pent-up emotional tension stored in the body.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
This technique is particularly effective for those whose anxiety is tied to past traumatic experiences.
Solution-Focused Therapy
This approach is centered around envisioning the life you want free from anxiety and taking concrete steps towards that vision.
