Therapy for Anxiety
Is anxiety taking over your life or your child's? Does it feel like you can’t control it no matter how hard you try? If this sounds like you or your child, here at The Collective Therapy Center we are confident we can help. The Collective Therapy Center offers evidence-based forms of treatment.
When treating anxiety disorders, research shows that therapy is typically the most effective option. That’s because therapy for anxiety treats more than just symptoms of the problem, unlike medication for anxiety. Therapy can help uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears, learn how to relax, look at situations in a new, less frightening way, and develop better-coping mechanisms and problem-solving skills.
