Anxiety Treatment
Your mind never stops. The racing thoughts, the tightness in your chest, the constant dread that something is about to go wrong. You are exhausted from managing a nervous system that will not turn off. We specialize in making it stop.
Anxiety Is Not Just Worrying
People who do not have clinical anxiety think it is nervousness. It is not. It is a neurological condition that hijacks your body, your thoughts, and your ability to function. You may recognize yourself here.
The Thoughts That Will Not Stop
Catastrophic thinking on repeat. You rehearse conversations, anticipate disasters, and replay mistakes. Your mind runs worst-case scenarios even when you know they are irrational.
The Physical Symptoms Nobody Sees
Heart pounding, jaw clenching, stomach churning, chest tightness. You have been to the ER convinced something was wrong. The tests came back normal. The symptoms did not stop.
The Avoidance That Shrinks Your Life
You skip events, delay decisions, and avoid situations that might trigger discomfort. The avoidance provides temporary relief but your world gets smaller every month.
The Performance That Hides the Struggle
High-functioning anxiety is invisible to everyone around you. You appear competent, organized, successful. Nobody knows the internal cost of maintaining that facade every single day.
Anxiety is treatable. Not just manageable. Treatable. The difference is having providers who understand the neuroscience, who use the right diagnostic tools, and who build a treatment plan specific to your anxiety, not a generic protocol applied to every patient who walks through the door.
Targeted Treatment, Real Resolution
Anxiety has subtypes, each with distinct neurological profiles. Generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic disorder, and OCD require different treatment strategies. We identify exactly what you are dealing with and match the intervention accordingly.
-
01
Differential Diagnosis
Anxiety frequently overlaps with ADHD, depression, trauma, and medical conditions like thyroid dysfunction. Our comprehensive evaluation identifies what is driving your symptoms so treatment targets the actual cause, not just the surface presentation.
-
02
Evidence-Based Psychotherapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy remains the gold standard for anxiety treatment. Our therapists also employ Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, exposure-based interventions, and mindfulness-based approaches tailored to your specific anxiety profile.

Precision Pharmacotherapy
When medication is indicated, we use GeneSight pharmacogenomic testing to identify optimal options before writing a single prescription. No more trial-and-error. No unnecessary side effects. The right medication at the right dose from the start.

Ongoing Measurement and Adjustment
We track your progress with the GAD-7 and other validated instruments at every appointment. If your trajectory stalls, we adjust immediately rather than waiting months to acknowledge what is not working.
Every Form of Anxiety
Anxiety is not a single diagnosis. We treat the full spectrum, each with protocols specific to its neurobiology and behavioral patterns.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Persistent, excessive worry across multiple domains of life. Difficulty controlling anxious thoughts even when you recognize they are disproportionate to the actual situation.
GADSocial Anxiety Disorder
Intense fear of judgment, embarrassment, or scrutiny in social or performance situations that leads to avoidance and significant impairment in professional and personal life.
Social PhobiaPanic Disorder
Recurrent, unexpected panic attacks accompanied by persistent fear of the next one. The anticipatory anxiety often becomes more disabling than the attacks themselves.
With or Without AgoraphobiaOCD
Intrusive, distressing obsessions paired with compulsive rituals that temporarily reduce anxiety but ultimately reinforce the cycle. Specialized ERP-informed treatment is essential.

Frequently Asked
Will I need medication for anxiety?
Not necessarily. Many patients achieve significant relief through therapy alone, particularly with CBT. When medication is appropriate, we use genetic testing to select the optimal option with the fewest side effects. We never default to medication when evidence-based therapy is the better first-line treatment.
How is anxiety different from normal stress?
Everyone experiences stress. Clinical anxiety persists beyond specific stressors, activates disproportionately to actual threats, and impairs your ability to function in work, relationships, or daily activities. If anxiety is affecting your quality of life, it warrants professional evaluation.
I have high-functioning anxiety. Is treatment really necessary?
High-functioning anxiety means you are paying an enormous internal cost to maintain external performance. The fact that you are succeeding does not mean you are well. Treatment reduces the constant strain and lets you perform at the same level without the suffering that currently accompanies it.
What insurance do you accept?
We accept Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Harvard Pilgrim, Tufts, Point32 Health, and self-pay. Our team verifies your benefits before your first appointment.
Can I be seen virtually?
Yes. We offer telehealth appointments throughout Massachusetts and New Hampshire for both medication management and therapy. In-person visits are available at our Duxbury and Boston Back Bay locations.
Stop Managing. Start Recovering.
You have spent enough energy keeping anxiety at bay. Effective treatment means you stop spending every day fighting your own nervous system and start living without that constant weight.
