Anxiety is a general feeling of apprehension about possible danger. Anxiety can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to face it alone.
Personalized anxiety therapy
As an experienced anxiety therapist in Orange County, I understand that anxiety looks different for everyone. You may be managing physical symptoms like a racing heart and insomnia, or struggling with intrusive thoughts and restlessness. Together, we’ll explore what’s driving your anxiety and work at a pace that feels safe and supportive.
Types of anxiety
One of the challenges of anxiety is that it can feel like something is wrong—even when there’s no obvious danger. You may not be able to identify exactly what’s causing the fear or worry, which makes it even more frustrating and exhausting.
There are several types of anxiety disorders, including:
- Panic Disorder
- Phobias
- Agoraphobia
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Understanding what kind of anxiety you’re experiencing is a powerful first step in finding the right treatment approach.
Understanding the causes of anxiety
Anxiety doesn’t develop in a vacuum. A number of biological, psychological, and environmental factors can contribute to its onset. Some common causes of anxiety disorders include:
- Chemical imbalances
- Brain changes
- Genetics
- Environmental stressors, such as prolonged stress or traumatic experiences
