Understanding Anxiety: Symptoms We Address
Anxiety can take many forms and affect different aspects of life. Some common symptoms we treat include:
- Excessive Worry and Racing Thoughts: Persistent worry about everyday situations, even when there is no clear danger.
- Restlessness and Irritability: Feeling constantly on edge, finding it hard to relax or experiencing sudden irritability.
- Physical Symptoms: Anxiety often manifests physically, including symptoms like muscle tension, headaches, nausea, and rapid heart rate.
- Sleep Disturbances: Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or experiencing anxiety-related nightmares.
- Avoidance and Impaired Performance: Avoiding situations that cause anxiety, and limit social or work-related opportunities.
- Compulsive Behaviours: Engaging in rituals or behaviours to try and alleviate anxiety, as seen in conditions like Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
Types of Anxiety Disorders We Treat
At NuVista, we have extensive experience in treating a broad spectrum of mental health conditions and anxiety-related conditions, including:
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Do you feel a constant sense of worry about everyday life, even when there’s no immediate reason? Our therapists help individuals with GAD by teaching effective strategies to manage excessive worry and promote a more balanced approach to daily challenges.
Social Anxiety Disorder
Social interactions can be daunting, causing intense fear and discomfort. Our online therapy for anxiety focuses on building confidence, teaching coping skills, and reducing the anxiety that comes with social situations, allowing you to thrive personally and professionally.
Panic Disorder
Sudden panic attacks can be terrifying and disruptive. Our experienced counsellors offer specialized treatment to help reduce the frequency and intensity of panic attacks, empowering you to regain control over your life.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
OCD involves intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviours that can interfere with daily life. Using evidence-based approaches like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), we work with you to break free from the cycle of obsessive thoughts and compulsive actions.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Past trauma can continue to affect your mental health in the form of anxiety, flashbacks, and nightmares. Our team employs trauma-informed therapy to help you process these experiences and move toward recovery.
Specific Phobias
Whether it’s a fear of flying, heights, or confined spaces, specific phobias can be debilitating. Through exposure therapy and other proven methods, we help you confront and manage these fears in a safe, controlled manner.
Health Anxiety
Even after medical reassurance, constant worry about health can significantly affect your well-being. We provide targeted therapy to help individuals manage health-related fears and adopt a healthier perspective.
Our Comprehensive Anxiety Therapy Services
At NuVista Mental Health, we know that no two individuals experience anxiety the same way. That’s why our treatment approach is as unique as you are, combining various therapies to create the most effective plan for your needs.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a cornerstone of anxiety treatment. It helps you identify and change negative thought patterns that trigger anxiety, replacing them with healthier, more balanced thinking. Our therapists guide you through structured exercises to challenge anxious thoughts and behaviours.
Exposure Therapy
For individuals dealing with phobias or OCD, exposure therapy is a powerful tool. Gradually and safely, we help you face your fears, reducing anxiety responses over time.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness techniques help individuals stay grounded in the present, reducing overwhelming thoughts and feelings. At NuVista, we incorporate Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) to promote calm and build emotional resilience.
Medication Management
For some individuals, medication may be part of the solution. We work in collaboration with psychiatrists to determine whether medication is right for you and help manage the process alongside therapy.
Biofeedback and Relaxation Techniques
Anxiety can trigger physical symptoms like rapid heart rate and shallow breathing. We teach biofeedback and relaxation techniques to help regulate your body’s responses, promoting a sense of calm during stressful situations.
Holistic Care
In addition to traditional therapy, we take a holistic approach that may include lifestyle recommendations such as exercise, sleep hygiene, and nutritional guidance to support your mental and physical well-being.
