What is Anxiety Treatment?
Anxiety treatment is what helps reduce the worry that runs in the background all day. It is not about numbing you out. For most people, it means medication management, sometimes paired with practical strategies, matched to the way anxiety shows up for them.
We find what works through careful adjustment, not guesswork, and stay close as your symptoms change. If you have stopped a medication before because of side effects or fits, that history helps us choose more wisely next time.
Care is led by Dr. Aminata Kamara, a board-certified psychiatric and family nurse practitioner (PMHNP), alongside our clinical team.
Does this sound like you?
Anxiety is more than feeling stressed. Day to day, it can feel like:
Your mind will not stop running, even when you are exhausted
You lie awake at night replaying everything that could go wrong
Your chest gets tight, your heart races, and you cannot fully relax
You snap at the people you love because you are stretched so thin
You are bracing for the worst, even when nothing is wrong
Types of Anxiety We Treat
Generalized anxiety
The constant, hard-to-control worry that follows you from one thing to the next.
Panic and acute anxiety
Sudden surges of fear, racing heart, and the dread of the next wave.
Social anxiety
Intense self-consciousness and fear of judgment that makes everyday interactions exhausting.
Health anxiety
Persistent fear about your body, the future, or things outside your control.
Co-occurring depression
When anxiety travels with low mood, which is common, it needs a plan that treats both.
How We Approach Your Care
We start by understanding you
We take time to learn how anxiety shows up for you, what sets it off, and what you have already tried.
We explain what we find
We target what is costing you most, whether that is the sleep you cannot get or the worry you cannot quiet.
We find the right medication
Many anxiety medications take a few weeks to settle in, so we start low, monitor, and adjust rather than rush.
We pair medication with support
Medication can turn the volume down, and we coordinate with your therapist if you have one.
We stay with you
Anxiety flares with stress and change, so we keep checking in and adjusting as your life shifts.
As part of a thorough evaluation, we order baseline labs to help rule out other medical causes for your symptoms
We're a good fit for you, if:
You're an adult, teen, or child (age 5 and up) living with persistent worry
Anxiety is disrupting your sleep, focus, work, or relationships
You've tried to push through the worry on your own and want a real plan
Life After Treating Your Anxiety
The racing slows down. There is room to think and breathe again
The day feels lighter, whether that is better sleep or more focus at work
You stop bracing for a disaster that may never come
Your ability to enjoy things comes back
You feel calmer, steadier, and more like yourself
Your mind feels like yours again

Anxiety Disorder Treatment FAQs
How is anxiety treated by a psychiatric provider?
Anxiety treatment usually combines medication management with practical strategies. We assess your symptoms, identify what's driving them, and build a plan tailored to you, adjusting as needed.
What if therapy or past medications haven't worked?
That's common. The right plan is often a matter of fit. We monitor closely, adjust as needed, and can use pharmacogenomic (GeneSight) testing to help guide medication choice.
