About anxiety
Anxiety Doesn’t Always Look Like Panic
Anxiety can be racing thoughts, constant tension, or dread without a clear reason, and it can wear you out even when you look fine to everyone else. Our anxiety treatment in PHP and IOP gives you several hours of care a day when weekly therapy isn’t enough. We use exposure-based therapy, CBT, and somatic care to help you face what you’ve been avoiding.
We help humans exist, without feeling out of control.
What Anxiety Treatment Looks Like in PHP and IOP
PHP runs about six hours a day, Monday through Friday, and IOP runs about three hours a day, three to five days a week. For anxiety, exposure-based therapy and somatic care are a big part of the work.
Body
Somatic care looks at how your body and mind affect each other. Yoga and mindfulness help with the physical tension anxiety brings.
Mind
Cognitive work looks at the automatic thoughts that pop into your head and how they keep the worry going.
Brain
Psychoanalytic work gives you a safe space to explore the hidden emotions and patterns under your anxiety, and why you feel the way you do.
Skills
Exposure-based therapy helps you gradually face the situations you’ve been avoiding, with support from your therapist.
