Quick answer: SLS Psychiatry evaluates and treats anxiety disorders, panic disorder, social anxiety, and PTSD in adults. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, an estimated 19.1% of U.S. adults had any anxiety disorder in the past year, and about 31.1% will experience one at some point in their lifetime.
Anxiety and trauma-related conditions can create persistent worry, physical tension, panic, avoidance, and distress that interfere with daily functioning, work, and relationships.
We evaluate the specific pattern, triggers, and severity of anxiety, panic, or trauma symptoms to develop a targeted approach that reduces distress and improves functioning.
Evidence-based medications when appropriate, psychoeducation regarding anxiety triggers and the stress response, and referrals to specialized trauma-focused therapy (e.g., CPT, PE, EMDR) when clinically indicated.

SLS Psychiatry can evaluate PTSD symptoms and provide medication management when appropriate. Trauma-focused psychotherapy (such as CPT, PE, or EMDR) is generally provided through specialized therapists, and referrals can be discussed.
SSRIs and SNRIs are commonly used first-line options for generalized anxiety, panic, and PTSD. Specific recommendations are made only after a clinical evaluation, based on diagnosis, history, and safety.
Slow, paced breathing, grounding techniques, and reminding yourself that the symptoms are time-limited can help. If you are experiencing recurrent panic attacks, request a psychiatric evaluation to discuss longer-term options.
