Anxiety

Anxiety issues come in several forms and can truly affect one’s life. Anxiety is highly treatable through psychotherapy that includes behavior and thought changes, medication or both. Some of the anxiety disorders include Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Panic Disorder, Post-Traumatic Disorder (PTSD), Social Phobias (Social Anxiety Disorder).

I have a group forming right now for anxiety and stress management.
