Panic Disorder

Panic Disorder refers to recurrent unexpected panic attacks.

Panic attacks is an abrupt surge of intense fear or intense discomfort in which you can have several physical and cognitive symptoms.

Managing and Treating Panic Disorder

In therapy, I will discuss with you ways that you can regulate yourself. On many occasions, I see that most of my clients come to their first appointment with a nervous system that is not regulated, so first, I will provide you with exercises that will help you to regulate your nervous system.
In my approach, I use Polyvagal theory, Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.
In sessions, we will also discuss what is causing anxiety in your life and what beliefs keep you stuck to deconstructing negative thoughts. You will process past experiences that might have left you feeling doubtful or not good enough. I will help you to feel empowered, and in control of the choices you can make in your life. It is important that finally, you can be you, and only you know what is better for you; deep inside, you know it. Let me walk with you on this journey to be you, confident with fewer fears.
