How Anxiety Treatment Works
Anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety, panic disorder and social anxiety, are among the most common mental health conditions, and among the most treatable. Panic can feel like a heart attack; new or unexplained chest pain should always be checked, so call 911 if you are unsure.
Your first visit is a full evaluation by secure video. Your provider asks about your symptoms, sleep, health and stresses, uses standard questionnaires such as the GAD-7, and checks for medical causes before building a plan with you.
Treatment can include cognitive behavioral therapy, which works as well as medication for many anxiety disorders, medication when clinically appropriate, or both, with follow-up to track how you are doing.
Insurance and Scheduling
We accept Medicare, most major commercial plans, and all South Carolina Medicaid managed care plans except Select Health (First Choice). New patients are often able to be scheduled within a week of requesting an appointment.
