Anxiety Disorder Statics

➤ Do you know that around 40 million people, which is an estimated 18% of the U.S. population, are diagnosed with an anxiety disorder (Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Panic disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Social Anxiety Disorder, and many other phobias, etc.) in any given 12-month period?

➤ Do you know that 23% of those who are diagnosed with anxiety are classified as severe?

➤ People with an anxiety disorder are three to five times more likely to go to the doctor and six times more likely to be hospitalized for psychiatric disorders than those who do not suffer from anxiety disorders.

➤ Anxiety disorders develop from a complex set of risk factors, including genetics, brain chemistry, personality, and life events.

➤ Despite the fact that anxiety disorders often respond well to therapy, do you know that two-thirds of people with a diagnosable anxiety do not receive treatment?

How I’m Able To Help

I specialize in helping countless people who suffer from some form of anxiety improve the quality of their lives through using an evidence-based treatment called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (or CBT for short). Evidence-based simply means care that is backed by science and has proven to work through research, clinical trials, etc.

As a CBT practitioner, I provide my clients with a better understanding of how their thoughts determine their feelings, which in turn influences their behavior. Thus, to help clients identify and challenge unhealthy thought patterns that negatively influence their behavior, I offer the following:

• Collaborative, Short-Term Treatment (and therefore cost-effective)

• Goal-oriented Psychotherapy Treatment

• Hands-on, Practical Approach to Problem-solving

• Helpful Strategies and Skills That Can Be Used in Between Sessions

• Periodic Assessments and Outcome Measures to Track your Progress
