Understanding Panic Attacks
Panic attacks are sudden episodes of intense fear or discomfort that can come on without warning. They can be accompanied by a range of physical symptoms, including rapid heartbeat, sweating, trembling, shortness of breath, chest pain, nausea, dizziness, and a feeling of impending doom. These attacks can be so overwhelming that individuals may fear they are having a heart attack or other serious medical condition.

Personalized Treatment Plans
We recognize that each individual's experience with panic attacks is unique. Therefore, we develop personalized treatment plans tailored to address the specific needs and preferences of each patient. Our comprehensive assessment process involves a thorough evaluation of symptoms, history, and overall well-being. This information is used to determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
Evidence-Based Therapeutic Techniques
The Anxiety Center of Texas utilizes a variety of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address panic attacks. These include:
- Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT focuses on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to panic attacks. By learning new coping strategies, individuals can break free from self-perpetuating cycles of fear.
- Exposure Therapy: Exposure therapy involves gradually exposing individuals to the situations or sensations that trigger panic attacks. Through repeated exposure, individuals can learn to manage their fear and reduce avoidance behaviors.
- Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR): MBSR teaches individuals mindfulness techniques to become more present and accepting of their thoughts and feelings. By cultivating mindfulness, individuals can develop greater resilience and reduce stress.
- Medication Management: In some cases, medication may be prescribed to complement therapy and alleviate symptoms.

The Anxiety Center of Texas offers a comprehensive range of services to support individuals throughout their recovery journey. These include:
- Individual Therapy: One-on-one sessions with a therapist to address specific concerns and develop personalized treatment plans.
