Understanding Anxiety

Feeling overwhelmed and unsure how to calm down?

Online psychiatry and talk therapy can help you regain your sense of peace.

How Do I Know if Psychiatry and Talk Therapy Is Right For Me?

Psychiatry and talk therapy are personalized to the individual and the type of anxiety they are facing. Treatment can take many forms, including cognitive behavioral therapy, stress management techniques, exercise, meditation, and relaxation methods. For some, a combination of medication management and talk therapy works best.

We’ll work together to create a safe space for you to express your anxiety and develop strategies to uncover your inner strength and boost your confidence. Here are a few examples of how we can achieve this:

Finding the Root Cause

We’ll explore your life experiences to understand what caused your anxiety and why. Your anxiety could be linked to childhood negative experiences, an existing health condition, certain types of medications, or events that are connected to your family, work, or finances.

Developing Coping Mechanisms

Through talk therapy, your nurse practitioner will help you develop strategies to cope with your anxiety on a daily basis.

Practicing Relaxation Techniques

Engaging in positive self-talk, taking up meditation, or using breathing exercises are all effective ways to help calm down nerves.

We all experience anxiety from time to time, and usually, we're able to cope with our anxious feelings. But, if your anxiety is lingering or starting to affect your everyday life at home, work, school, or around other people, it might be time to reach out for support.
