In general, stress is a person’s nervous system response to an external cause or event. A stress response typically includes an internal response to the signs and symptoms of stress. And that causes a physical reaction. These reactions might include things like a raised heart rate, trouble breathing, or sweaty palms.

Our therapists have helped many highly successful and high-achieving students and professionals overcome anxiety. We use effective treatments that can be more effective than medication alone.
Specifically, our anxiety therapists use evidence-based treatments. Our treatments include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a more recently developed form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
Our anxiety therapists also use behavioral techniques such as exposure and response prevention (ERP). Habit reversal training (HRT) is frequently used for body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) and tic disorders.
Licensed therapists have years of education and training in behavioral science. And now they use approaches with high-performing adults, struggling with anxiety all over the United States. Your anxiety therapist will evaluate your specific situation. Then, together, we decide on the therapeutic approach that works best for you.
