Anxiety Treatment

When worry takes up too much space, you don’t have to face it alone.

Anxiety can affect the way you think, feel, sleep, work, and move through everyday life. Whether you’re dealing with persistent worry, physical tension, panic, or a constant feeling that something isn’t quite right, Above & Beyond provides personalized anxiety care designed to help you understand what you’re experiencing and find the right path forward.

Anxiety Comes in Many Forms

Anxiety is a normal part of life—but sometimes worry or fear becomes difficult to quiet, begins showing up more often, or starts interfering with the things you want and need to do.

For some people, anxiety feels like racing thoughts or constantly anticipating what could go wrong. For others, it shows up physically through tension, a racing heart, difficulty sleeping, or feeling restless and on edge. It can also lead you to avoid situations, responsibilities, or experiences that have started to feel overwhelming.

At Above & Beyond, we want to understand how anxiety is showing up in your life and provide the right treatment to give you long-term relief.

Understanding What You’re Experiencing

Thoughtful Care Starts With Listening

Feeling anxious doesn’t necessarily mean you have an anxiety disorder. Stress, major life changes, physical health, medications, sleep, and other mental health concerns can all influence how you feel.

That’s why your care begins with a conversation. Your provider will listen to what you’ve been experiencing, consider your symptoms and health history, and learn how anxiety may be affecting your everyday life.

From there, we’ll work with you to determine what kind of treatment and support may be appropriate for your individual needs.

Common Signs of Anxiety

Persistent Worry

Thoughts about work, relationships, health, responsibilities, or what could go wrong can become difficult to quiet or control.

Feeling Restless or on Edge

Anxiety can make it difficult to relax, leaving you feeling tense, unsettled, or like your mind and body are always switched on.

Difficulty Concentrating

When your mind is occupied by worry, focusing on conversations, work, school, or everyday responsibilities can become harder.

Sleep Difficulties

Racing thoughts, physical tension, or persistent worry can make falling asleep, staying asleep, or feeling rested more difficult.

Physical Symptoms

Anxiety can sometimes show up physically through symptoms such as a racing heartbeat, sweating, trembling, muscle tension, or stomach discomfort.

Panic & Avoidance

Some people experience sudden periods of intense fear or begin avoiding situations, places, or experiences that they associate with anxiety.

A Personalized Approach to ADD & ADHD

There isn’t one way anxiety looks, and there isn’t one treatment plan that’s right for everyone. Above & Beyond takes the time to understand your symptoms, experiences, health history, and goals before developing an individualized approach to your care.

Medication Management for Anxiety

Medication may be an appropriate part of anxiety treatment for some patients. Your provider will discuss your symptoms, health history, previous treatment, and concerns before recommending medication, with ongoing follow-up to understand how you’re responding and make adjustments when appropriate.

Practical Support for Managing Anxiety

Taking control starts with a conversation.

When worry, fear, or feeling constantly on edge starts getting in the way of everyday life, talking with someone can be a meaningful place to start. Above & Beyond provides a welcoming, non-judgmental environment where you can talk openly about what you’re experiencing and explore treatment that fits your individual needs.

Common Questions About Anxiety & Care:

How do I know if my anxiety is something I should seek help for?

Everyone experiences anxiety from time to time. It may be worth talking with a mental health provider when worry, fear, panic, or physical symptoms become persistent, feel difficult to manage, or begin interfering with sleep, work, school, relationships, or everyday activities.

What happens during an anxiety evaluation?

Your provider will talk with you about what you’ve been experiencing, your health and mental health history, how your symptoms affect everyday life, and any previous treatment. This helps create a clearer picture of your needs and appropriate next steps.

Can anxiety cause physical symptoms?

Yes. Anxiety can be accompanied by physical experiences such as increased heart rate, sweating, trembling, muscle tension, stomach discomfort, or feeling short of breath. Because physical symptoms can have other causes as well, discussing them with an appropriate healthcare provider is important.

Does anxiety treatment always involve medication?

No. Treatment depends on the individual. Medication may be appropriate for some patients, while education, therapeutic strategies, other forms of support, or a combination of approaches may be recommended depending on your needs.

What medications are used to treat anxiety?

Several types of prescription medications may be used for anxiety depending on the condition, symptoms, health history, and individual patient. Your provider can discuss appropriate options, potential benefits, risks, and what to expect if medication is recommended.

Can anxiety and depression happen at the same time?

Yes. Anxiety and depression can occur together, and symptoms can sometimes overlap. A thoughtful evaluation can help your provider better understand what you’re experiencing and develop a treatment plan around the bigger picture.

Can I receive anxiety treatment virtually?

Above & Beyond offers both in-person and virtual mental health appointments. Your provider can help determine what type of care is appropriate based on your individual needs.
