Understanding anxiety

You Are Not Alone

Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health conditions, affecting millions of people throughout New Jersey. These conditions go beyond normal worry — they involve persistent, excessive anxiety that interferes with daily life, relationships, and work.

Anxiety disorders include Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, specific phobias, and agoraphobia. The good news: anxiety disorders are highly treatable. With proper care, most people experience significant improvement. Learn more from the National Institute of Mental Health.

Recognizing the signs

Common Signs of Anxiety Disorders

  • Excessive worry that feels difficult or impossible to control
  • Restlessness or feeling keyed up most of the time
  • Fatigue and low energy despite adequate rest
  • Difficulty concentrating or mind going blank
  • Muscle tension, particularly in neck, shoulders, or jaw
  • Sleep disturbances including trouble falling or staying asleep
  • Panic attacks with rapid heartbeat, sweating, or shortness of breath
  • Avoidance of situations, places, or people due to fear

If you recognize several of these symptoms, it may be time to seek help. Anxiety disorders are real medical conditions, not personal weakness.

Evidence-based treatment

Medication, therapy, or both

Medication Management

SSRIs and SNRIs are typically first-line, usually taking a few weeks for full effect. We carefully monitor and adjust to find what works with minimal side effects. See medication management.

Supportive Counseling

Practical coping strategies through counseling, plus referrals for cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps change the thought patterns that fuel anxiety. See supportive counseling.

The Combined Approach

Research shows combining medication with therapy often produces the best outcomes. See our combined treatment model.

Common questions

About Anxiety Treatment

How long does it take for anxiety medication to work?

SSRIs and SNRIs typically take 4-6 weeks to reach full effectiveness, though many patients notice some improvement within 2-3 weeks. We monitor your response closely during the initial weeks.

Will I need medication forever?

Not necessarily. Some people benefit from medication during a particularly stressful time, then successfully taper off. Others find ongoing medication helps maintain stability. We discuss this together regularly.

Can anxiety treatment be done virtually?

Yes. Research shows telepsychiatry is equally effective as in-person treatment for anxiety disorders, often feeling less intimidating than office visits.

What if I have panic attacks?

Panic attacks are highly treatable with medication to reduce frequency and intensity, plus counseling to understand triggers and develop coping techniques like breathing exercises.

Do you accept my insurance?

We accept nearly every major commercial plan, Medicare, and Medicaid, and verify your coverage before your first appointment. Visit our insurance page for details.

How quickly can I be seen?

Most new patients are seen within a week, with appointments Monday through Saturday and evening appointments available on request.
