Panic disorder involves frequent, unexpected panic attacks and ongoing worry about having more. If you find yourself avoiding situations for fear of triggering an attack or experiencing intense physical symptoms like a racing heart, dizziness, or shortness of breath, it may be time to seek support. Our therapists can help you understand your symptoms and regain control.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most effective treatments, helping you recognize and change the thoughts that fuel panic. Exposure therapy can also be helpful for those who avoid situations due to fear of an attack, while mindfulness and relaxation techniques help calm the nervous system. The best approach depends on your unique needs, and a therapist can guide you in finding the right fit.

This exercise shifts your focus away from anxious thoughts and back to the present moment.

Breathe in for five seconds, hold for five seconds, and exhale for five seconds—repeating until you feel calmer. Controlled breathing sends a signal to your brain that you are safe, helping to reduce anxiety in the moment.

A therapist can’t stop panic attacks from happening, but they can equip you with tools to manage and reduce them. Through therapy, you’ll learn techniques to lessen their intensity, shorten their duration, and build confidence in your ability to handle them.
