Anxiety treatment for Wellesley patients: who it helps
People from Wellesley come to us for anxiety treatment for many reasons, including:
- Generalized anxiety disorder — constant, hard-to-control worry
- Panic disorder and panic attacks
- Social anxiety and performance anxiety
- Specific phobias and health anxiety
- Anxiety alongside depression, ADHD or insomnia
- Children and teens with school-related or separation anxiety
What to expect
- Assessment: We clarify the type of anxiety, triggers, physical symptoms and any medical factors such as thyroid problems, caffeine or medications.
- Treatment plan: Plans often combine therapy approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) — through a referral if needed — with medication when appropriate.
- Medication options: When medication is used, clinicians typically start with long-term options such as SSRIs or SNRIs and use short-term medications cautiously.
- Follow-up: Regular check-ins track progress, side effects and skills you are building, adjusting the plan as needed.
