Anxiety Therapy for Kids Teens and adults -Understanding Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety is a natural response to stress, but when it becomes overwhelming and persistent, it can interfere with daily life. At our center, we understand that anxiety disorders are complex and can manifest differently in each individual. Our goal is to provide a supportive environment where clients can explore their feelings, learn coping strategies, and build resilience.

anxiety in children Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

Generalized Anxiety Disorder is characterized by excessive, uncontrollable worry about everyday situations. Individuals with GAD often anticipate disaster, even when there is no apparent reason for concern. This constant state of worry can lead to physical symptoms such as restlessness, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, muscle tension, and sleep disturbances.

Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD)

Social Anxiety Disorder involves an intense fear of social situations and being judged or scrutinized by others. This fear can be so severe that it interferes with daily activities, making it challenging to form and maintain relationships, attend school or work, and participate in social events.

Separation Anxiety Disorder (SAD)

Separation Anxiety Disorder is most commonly seen in children but can also affect adults. It is characterized by excessive fear or anxiety about being separated from attachment figures, such as parents or caregivers. This disorder can lead to significant distress and reluctance to engage in activities that require separation.
