Anxiety Disorder Treatment
At Serene Sound Wellness, we treat the full spectrum of anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and specific phobias. Symptoms can look different for everyone: racing thoughts, a pounding heart, difficulty sleeping, muscle tension, avoidance of social situations, or sudden panic attacks that seem to come out of nowhere. Whatever form your anxiety takes, we start by listening to your understanding of your triggers, your history, and how anxiety is affecting your daily life.
From there, we create a customized treatment plan that may include medication management, referrals for evidence-based talk therapy such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), lifestyle strategies, and skills to calm your nervous system. For patients who have tried medications without success, our psychiatric genetic testing can help identify which medications are most likely to work with your unique biology.
You don’t have to live in a constant state of worry. With the right treatment, you can regain control over your thoughts, your body, and your life.

Most first-line anxiety medications, such as SSRIs and SNRIs, are not habit-forming. Some short-term medications require more careful use, and we’ll always explain the benefits and risks of any medication we recommend so you can make an informed decision.
Many patients begin noticing improvement within a few weeks of starting treatment, with continued gains over the following months. We monitor your progress closely and adjust your plan as needed.
