The bigger picture

Anxiety rarely travels alone

It comes with low mood, sleepless nights, or a panic that arrives out of nowhere. It gets called stress for years, or treated as one thing when it's really several: the worry, the avoidance, and the exhaustion of holding it all together.


Here, one doctor handles the diagnosis, the therapy, and the medication together. Nothing gets lost between providers, and nothing gets treated in isolation.

When medication hasn't been enough

More than one way forward

Anxiety rarely has a single fix. A psychiatrist evaluates you first, then helps you find the right combination for you.

  • Therapy

    CBT, ACT and exposure therapy: the approaches with the strongest track record for anxiety and OCD, not generic talk.

  • Medication

    Chosen and adjusted carefully by a psychiatrist, rather than a starter script and a shrug.

How it works

What to expect

Three plain steps. No mystery, no runaround.

1

A real evaluation

A full hour with a psychiatrist and a proper history, not a rushed 15-minute med check.

2

A plan built for you

Therapy, medication, or both, matched to what you've already tried.

3

The same doctor, start to finish

No handoffs. The doctor who diagnoses you is the one who treats you, and adjusts as you go.

      Is this the right fit?

      Is this you?

      This is likely a fit if you…
      • Live with constant worry you can't switch off
      • Have panic attacks, or avoid places and situations
      • Lie awake with a mind that won't slow down
      • Want your care led by a doctor, not passed around
      Start somewhere else if you…
      • Need urgent or same-day crisis help (see below)
      • Only need a one-off letter or evaluation for a third party

      In crisis, or thinking about harming yourself? Please call or text 988 (the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) any time, day or night, or go to your nearest emergency room. Appointments here aren't for emergencies.
