Communion Counseling & Wellness
Therapist for Anxiety in Allen, TX
Experienced Therapist for Anxiety, OCD, and Panic Disorders
Anxiety is very common. It is, in fact, one of our most vital survival mechanisms. It keeps us alive.
An anxiety disorder occurs when that survival mechanism misfires, triggering in inappropriate times or even without stimuli.
But it’s not all bad news.
Anxiety disorders are very treatable using CBT, EMDR, SE, and other anxiety disorder therapies. If you find yourself struggling with anxiety, the counselors at Communion Wellness want to help.
Give us a call and schedule a one-on-one to discuss how anxiety interferes with the life you want to live.
Common Anxiety Problems We Treat
-
Generalized Anxiety
If you experience persistent worry about a variety of factors, you may have generalized anxiety. Generalized anxiety can feel insurmountable, but counseling for this anxiety disorder can help you learn better strategies to handle it.
-
Social Anxiety
If you feel intense, persistent fear around other people, you may be suffering from social anxiety. Social anxiety affects your enjoyment of life and maybe your career. Therapy can help you overcome these persistent fears.
-
Panic Attacks
Panic attacks are symptoms of an acute anxiety disorder. They’re characterized by sudden and acute physical and mental symptoms of distress. Panic disorder therapy treatments help individuals reduce the severity and frequency of their panic attacks.
-
OCD
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is a long-term disorder where an individual experiences uncontrollable thoughts (obsessions) and engage in uncontrollable actions (compulsions). Therapy to treat OCDs can provide relief from both aspects of OCD.
-
PTSD
After experiencing a traumatic event–like a car wreck or being the victim of a crime–individuals can develop post-traumatic stress disorder, which is a type of anxiety disorder. Our counselors employ SE, EMDR, and cognitive behavioral therapy to help treat PTSD.
-
And More
If you regularly feel distress and fear in a manner that interrupts your life, you may be suffering from anxiety. Some anxiety is temporary, some is more permanent. Therapy for anxiety can help you deal with both.
Eye Movement Desensitization Therapy in Allen, TX
EMDR is a therapeutic modality designed to treat PTSD, but it also has value when treating a variety of anxiety disorders.
EMDR helps individuals process and reprocess trauma in a manner that reduces the responses–including feelings of uncontrollable anxiety-to that trauma.
The EMDR counselors at Communion Wellness will help you determine if EMDR is right in your case.
Somatic Experiencing Therapy in Allen, TX
Somatic Experiencing (SE) is another modality designed to help individuals who struggle with PTSD and other disorders.
SE focuses on the physical sensations associated with these feelings, helping clients reconnect and work with their body’s response to stressful situations or specific triggers.
If you think somatic experiencing therapy may help you, schedule a consultation to discuss it with an experienced SE practitioner in Allen, TX.
