Anxiety Therapist
Anxiety can manifest in many ways depending on the person experiencing it. Symptoms of anxiety can be both mental, such as an overwhelming sense of fear or worry, and physical, such as a spike in heart rate or a tensing of certain muscle groups. Anxiety is a sense of being in turmoil, worrying, and being obsessive in one’s thoughts about something. It is a kind of mental preoccupation with a sense that something bad may be about to happen, but you’re not exactly sure what it is or why. If you’re looking for an Anxiety Therapist or Psychologist in the Los Angeles, California, area, Dr. Blair and her team can help.
What are anxiety disorders?
All people feel anxiety at some time or another, and often their feelings are linked to something in their lives that they are naturally worried about or concerned with, but which usually only lasts for a short while until the matter is resolved. Disorders that require the attention of an anxiety psychologist or other anxiety treatment services are periods of worry and mental turmoil that are relatively long-lasting, and which are often unfocused on some concrete causative factor. Anxiety disorders are characterized by worry, upset, turmoil, and a sense of dread that occurs for significant periods of time, such as several months or more.
Anxiety disorders have the effect of throwing the person’s life into distress and a state of persistent mental preoccupation. Thus, the disorders that anxiety psychologist treat have the effect of disrupting the normal flow of one’s life. They adversely affect one’s abilities to cope with and carry out daily activities or routines. Most significant — because the anxiety is persistent but has no specific object — experiencing anxiety can be very upsetting and can, in effect, take all the pleasure out of life.
People who suffer from anxiety disorders may also suffer from associated adverse psychological effects like depression or attempt to “self-medicate” through the use of alcohol or drugs to relieve the symptoms of anxiety.
Anxiety disorders can be the result of any number of factors: there might be a genetic predisposition to being especially vulnerable to worry, fear, dread, and the possibility of negative outcomes. Childhood experiences can generate general anxiety. Anxiety might be caused by a real or potential threat, but it is not alleviated when the threat is no longer present or dissipates. Stressful events in life may also create anxiety disorders. When you seek anxiety treatment, your psychologist will work with you to determine the cause of your anxiety disorder and create effective coping mechanisms.

Treatment for Anxiety Disorders
Psychological treatment for anxiety disorders can be effective in reducing or eliminating symptoms altogether.
The psychologist will work with the person having anxiety problems to identify the source and specific characteristics of the anxiety problems and to create a treatment plan to diminish the feelings of anxiety and other symptoms.
Psychological counseling for anxiety and other disorders is available and can be incredibly effective when dealing with an anxiety disorder.
