Featured Services
Our psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, therapists, and other mental health experts work with you to address the core issues impacting your mental health and help you build the skills and resources to manage your anxiety. We provide:
Talk Therapy for Anxiety
Our therapists are master’s-level clinicians who have deep experience helping people just like you effectively manage their anxiety. We’ll curate a personalized plan for your anxiety that works for you — whether that’s CBT, DBT, ERP, or another effective approach. You can also meet with your therapist in person or virtually.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps you understand the relationship between your thoughts, behaviors, and feelings to address anxiety and restructure patterns that contribute to anxious thinking, often incorporating mindfulness techniques to help you stay present and grounded.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Originally developed for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), DBT is now used to treat a variety of conditions, including anxiety. DBT helps clients accept their anxiety while learning to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It focuses on four core skill areas: Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Interpersonal Effectiveness, and Emotional Regulation.
- Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP): ERP is a specialized form of CBT designed to treat anxiety by gradually exposing clients to anxiety triggers in a controlled way, helping them reduce avoidance behaviors and build confidence in managing their reactions.
Medications for Anxiety
Our psychiatric team will work closely with you to understand your specific needs and anxiety symptoms, explain the available medication options, and provide ongoing medication management support, whether you prefer in-person or virtual appointments.
- SSRIs and SNRIs: Commonly prescribed to help regulate mood and reduce anxiety symptoms over time.
- Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs): An alternative option when SSRIs or SNRIs aren’t the right fit.
- Antihistamines and beta-blockers: Can help manage physical symptoms of anxiety, such as a racing heart.
- Anti-anxiety medications or benzodiazepines: May be prescribed on an individual basis for acute anxiety.
TMS Therapy for Anxiety
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an effective treatment option for individuals experiencing frequent anxiety, especially when medications have not provided adequate relief. Anxiety often involves overactivity in the brain, particularly in the prefrontal cortex, which can contribute to symptoms. TMS therapy targets this region, helping to regulate anxiety symptoms by reducing excessive nerve activity
While TMS therapy is FDA-cleared specifically for treating anxiety when it co-occurs with depression, it can also be used off-label for anxiety alone under the guidance of your healthcare provider. Schedule a consultation today to determine if TMS therapy for anxiety is a suitable option for you.
Teen Treatment for Anxiety
We offer individualized, teen-focused anxiety treatment ranging from adolescent psychiatry and medication management to talk therapy and TMS, addressing the unique ways anxiety shows up in young people. Through virtual or in-person sessions, our team of adolescent psychiatrists, therapists, and nurse practitioners helps teens understand their symptoms and choose the most effective tools for their well-being.

What is Anxiety?
Anxiety disorders often begin in early childhood and can persist into adulthood if left untreated, impacting quality of life significantly. Many individuals may not receive a diagnosis until later in life, despite experiencing symptoms for years.
At Neuro Wellness Spa, we use comprehensive anxiety screening tools, such as the GAD-7, to ensure accurate diagnosis and provide effective treatment tailored to your specific needs. This approach helps us to address your symptoms comprehensively and support your journey towards improved mental well-being.
We tailor your treatment to your specific needs based on the type of anxiety and symptoms you’re experiencing.
Types of Anxiety
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
With GAD, you may experience daily anxiety, that may or may not be associated with a specific trigger, that interferes with your lifestyle and happiness. It’s one of the most common anxiety disorders and often develops gradually over time.
Social Anxiety Disorder
Social anxiety involves an intense fear of being judged, embarrassed, or scrutinized in social situations. This can lead you to avoid connections and moments where you’d be around others, making social anxiety both debilitating and isolating.
Panic Disorder
Panic disorder involves recurrent, unexpected panic attacks, intense episodes marked by heart palpitations, labored breathing, and a feeling of losing control, even when there’s no clear trigger. These episodes can feel frightening and often lead to fear of future attacks.
Specific Phobias
A specific phobia is an intense, persistent fear of a particular object or situation, such as heights, flying, or animals, that’s disproportionate to the actual danger involved and leads to avoidance behaviors.
Agoraphobia
Agoraphobia involves fear or avoidance of places or situations that might cause panic, feelings of being trapped, or a lack of an easy way to escape, such as crowded spaces, public transportation, or being outside the home alone.
Separation Anxiety Disorder
While often associated with children, separation anxiety disorder can affect adults too, involving excessive fear or worry about being away from attachment figures, home, or other significant sources of security.
Signs of Anxiety
Some of the most common symptoms of anxiety include:
- Excessive anxiety and worry
- Cyclical or spiraling thought patterns
- Difficulty controlling the worry
- Restlessness or feeling on edge
- Shortness of breath
- Difficulty concentrating
- Irritability
- Muscle tension.
- Sleep disturbances
- Possible panic attacks
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, contact us today, and we will help you find the most effective treatment.

Our treatment philosophy
At Neuro Wellness Spa, our treatment philosophy centers on personalized, evidence-based care that integrates therapy, medication, and innovative treatments like TMS to help you manage your anxiety and build lasting emotional well-being, including:
Medication treatment
SSRIs, SNRIs, tricyclic antidepressants, antihistamines, and beta-blockers are commonly prescribed to alleviate anxiety symptoms, with anti-anxiety medications or benzodiazepines available for acute cases on an individual basis.
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy addresses the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that contribute to your anxiety, helping you build lasting skills to understand and manage your symptoms over time, rather than just treating them in the moment.
Talk therapy
Our therapists are master’s-level clinicians who curate a personalized therapy plan for your anxiety, drawing from a range of evidence-based approaches, in person or virtually.
TMS
TMS is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that uses gentle magnetic pulses to target the areas of the brain involved in anxiety. It’s an effective option when medication and therapy alone haven’t provided enough relief, and if you qualify, it’s typically covered by insurance.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
Helps you understand the relationship between your thoughts, behaviors, and feelings to address anxiety and restructure patterns that contribute to anxious thinking, often incorporating mindfulness techniques to help you stay present and grounded.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
Originally developed for Borderline Personality Disorder, DBT is now used to treat anxiety too, helping you accept your anxiety while learning to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotional regulation.
Exposure and response prevention (ERP)
A specialized form of CBT that gradually exposes you to anxiety triggers in a controlled way, helping you reduce avoidance behaviors and build confidence managing your reactions.
EMDR
Uses bilateral stimulation techniques, such as eye movements, taps, or tones, to help you process the underlying experiences contributing to your anxiety and reduce their emotional impact.
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT)
Incorporates mindfulness meditation practices into treatment to increase present-moment awareness and acceptance of your experiences, proven effective in reducing anxiety symptoms.
