Anxiety is a physiological and emotional response disproportionate to the actual stressful or possibly dangerous situation. Eventually, it lowers a person’s apparent health and well-being. It could be considered an anxiety disorder when anxiety symptoms become extreme, persistent, irrational, or irrelevant and interfere with a person’s normal functioning.
The anxiety disorder might be improperly diagnosed or unrecognized. Anxiety symptoms, such as palpitations, muscle tension, shortness of breath, or gastrointestinal symptoms, can be mistakenly attributed to a medical condition—the diagnosis based on a specific history of behavior that satisfies one of the anxiety criteria.
As a leading anxiety treatment in Cleveland, we take pride in offering a non-judgmental, holistic approach to treatment, focusing on psychotherapeutic interventions rather than a medication-based approach first and foremost. If you or your loved one has concerns, don’t hesitate to contact us today to begin the healing process. We specialize in treating issues of anxiety disorders and their psychological, bodily, and interpersonal manifestations. Our highly trained doctoral and master’s level therapists are knowledgeable in both cognitive-behavioral therapy and psychodynamic conceptualizations and approaches. When assessing a person struggling with anxiety, we define a diagnosis and develop an effective treatment plan.
