How anxiety treatment works here
- 1
A thorough evaluation first
We map what your anxiety is doing to your sleep, focus, relationships, and body before proposing anything — including ruling out medical and substance contributors.
- 2
Therapy that builds skills
Weekly 50-minute sessions using cognitive and exposure-based work plus nervous-system regulation, tuned to your specific triggers rather than a manual.
- 3
Medication only when it earns its place
If medication is indicated, we explain the reasoning, the trade-offs, and how we will measure whether it is helping.
- 4
Interventional options if needed
For anxious depression that has not responded to standard care, we offer an FDA-cleared accelerated TMS course delivered over one week.
Frequently asked questions
What does an anxiety therapist actually do?+
An anxiety therapist helps you identify the thoughts, behaviors, and physiological patterns that keep anxiety self-sustaining, then builds concrete skills to interrupt them — exposure, cognitive work, and nervous-system regulation. The goal is not to eliminate anxiety but to make it proportionate and workable.
Do I need therapy, medication, or both for anxiety?+
It depends on severity and how much anxiety is limiting your life. Many patients do well with therapy alone. Others benefit from combining therapy with carefully chosen medication. Because we offer both, we can start where it makes sense and adjust without sending you elsewhere.
How long does anxiety treatment take?+
Focused work on a specific anxiety — panic, presentation anxiety, health anxiety — often shows meaningful movement within a few months of weekly 50-minute sessions. Longer-standing generalized anxiety usually takes longer. We set expectations openly rather than promising a timeline we can't support.
Do you treat panic attacks and social anxiety?+
Yes. We work with panic disorder, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, health anxiety, performance and workplace anxiety, and anxiety that follows a major life transition. We also treat anxiety that co-occurs with depression, which is very common.
Can you help with anxiety in teenagers?+
We see adolescents 16+ and adults. Adolescent anxiety — academic pressure, social anxiety, sleep disruption — is common on the Main Line, and we involve parents thoughtfully while protecting the teen's own therapeutic space.
What if my anxiety hasn't improved with therapy or medication before?+
That is worth taking seriously rather than repeating. We review what has actually been tried, at what dose, and for how long. For treatment-resistant depression with anxiety, we also offer an accelerated, FDA-cleared TMS course delivered over one week.
Do you offer virtual anxiety therapy?+
Yes — virtually throughout Pennsylvania, and across greater New York State with Dr. Khorram, who is licensed in New York. Anxiety work translates well to telehealth, and for some patients being at home makes early sessions easier.
