Anxiety Treatment FAQs

Many patients notice improvement within the first few weeks of treatment. Medications for anxiety typically begin working within 2-4 weeks, while therapy techniques can provide relief even sooner. Our comprehensive approach aims for noticeable improvement within the first month, with continued progress over 3-6 months of treatment.

The most commonly prescribed anxiety medications (SSRIs and SNRIs) are not addictive. Benzodiazepines, which may be prescribed for short-term use in specific situations, can be habit-forming if used long-term. We carefully monitor all medication use and prefer non-addictive options when possible. All treatment plans are tailored to minimize risks while maximizing benefits.

Yes, we offer secure telehealth appointments for anxiety treatment to residents of Washington, New York, Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona. Research shows that telehealth is just as effective as in-person therapy for anxiety disorders. Many patients find telehealth more convenient and accessible, especially for those with social anxiety or transportation challenges.

Normal anxiety is a temporary response to stress that doesn't significantly interfere with daily life. An anxiety disorder involves excessive, persistent anxiety that disrupts work, relationships, and daily activities. If anxiety causes significant distress, lasts for months, or leads to avoidance behaviors, it may be an anxiety disorder requiring professional treatment.

While anxiety disorders can be effectively managed and symptoms significantly reduced, the goal of treatment is typically remission and management rather than a "cure." Most patients achieve substantial symptom relief and learn skills to manage anxiety long-term. Many experience periods of complete symptom freedom, with tools to handle any recurrence.
