Counseling for Panic Attacks
Panic Attack or Heart Attack?
If you’ve had a panic attack you know the fear of being struck with feelings of terror without warning. You may believe that you are going to die or that you are having a heart attack. Do you suffer on-going anxiety because you don’t know when it will happen again? If so, this is called Panic Disorder.
People with panic disorder often try to avoid situations they believe might cause their panic attacks. Some of these places are parties, social events, meeting new people, crowded stores, driving, work or school.
The good news is that you don’t have to continue to live this way. Panic attacks and panic disorder are treatable. With professional therapy panic attacks people have better outcomes with psychotherapy than with medications. Email me here to get started.

What Kind of Therapy do I Need?
Each person that suffers from panic attacks has a unique situation. Depending on your personal situation some of the interventions may be Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction or Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). Panic Attacks may be symptoms of trauma or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD is effectively treated by EMDR.
