Addressing the Root of Anxiety
Anxiety Psychologist
If you are struggling with anxiety and stress, you do not have to handle it on your own. Please contact us to meet with our psychologist.
Anxiety is one of the most common mental health conditions affecting adults today.
While it is normal to experience stress or anxiety due to certain stressors, such as an upcoming deadline or a significant life change, chronic anxiety can become debilitating. Consistent worrying can interfere with your daily life, making it difficult to work, maintain relationships, and even carry out routine activities. If you find yourself constantly overwhelmed by fear or unease, it may be time to seek professional help.
It is important to recognize that anxiety is not a sign of weakness or something you can simply “snap out of.” It is a legitimate condition that requires support, understanding, and effective treatment. We provide therapy OKC services, specially tailored to meet the needs of adults struggling with anxiety.
As professional psychologists and psychiatrists, we do more than treat symptoms with medication. We will work with you to address the root cause of your anxiety disorder, using proven and effective treatment methods to help you achieve long-term results.

What to Know About Anxiety
Anxiety is your body’s natural response to stress – a feeling of fear or apprehension about what’s to come. When this feeling becomes excessive and persistent, it can lead to an anxiety disorder. While normal anxiety is temporary and situational, anxiety disorders are chronic and can worsen over time if left untreated.
Many conditions are included under the umbrella of anxiety disorders, such as generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and specific phobias. While each type of anxiety disorder has unique characteristics, all share the common feature of excessive fear or worry that is not in proportion to the actual situation.
Common Symptoms of Anxiety
Anxiety affects everyone differently. It manifests in both physical and psychological symptoms, which vary depending on the individual affected and the specific type of disorder. Some of the most common symptoms include:
- Persistent Worrying: A constant feeling of dread or fear, even when there is no immediate threat.
- Restlessness: Frequently feeling on edge or unable to relax, often related to the “fight or flight” response.
- Fatigue: Despite feeling constantly on high alert, anxiety can cause extreme tiredness.
- Difficulty Concentrating: Racing thoughts or an inability to focus on tasks.
- Muscle Tension: Physical symptoms like tense muscles, headaches, or unexplained aches and pains.
- Sleep Disturbances: Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or having restless sleep.
- Panic Attacks: Sudden episodes of intense fear that may include heart palpitations, sweating, or shortness of breath.
These symptoms can be overwhelming and may start affecting various different aspects of your life. Over time, unmanaged anxiety can contribute to other mental or physical health issues, including depression, substance abuse, or chronic physical conditions.
