If you're living with persistent anxiety—a feeling of worry and dread—you may benefit from anxiety therapy. Camille Palombo, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Medford, NJ, works to help clients develop the coping strategies necessary to manage anxiety. 

What is Anxiety?

Sometimes, anxiety is normal. If you're getting ready for a job interview, waiting for a first date to arrive, or running your first 5K, a feeling of fear and uneasiness makes sense. Some people experience anxiety without a discernible cause or may experience levels of anxiety that seem especially high. This can be a sign of an anxiety disorder—a condition in which anxiety interferes with day-to-day life. 

Anxiety Disorder Symptoms

There are many different types of anxiety disorders, including social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and separation anxiety disorder. 

Symptoms of anxiety disorders can include: 

• Racing thoughts that are difficult or feel impossible to control
• Trouble making decisions
• Feeling irritable or restless
• Pounding or rapid heartbeat
• Unexplained aches, pains, and digestive issues
• Shortness of breath
• Sweating
• Trembling or shaking

Deciding Whether Anxiety Therapy is Right for You

If you think you may be dealing with an anxiety disorder, you aren't alone. Anxiety therapy can be helpful if you're experiencing feelings of fear and distress outside of situations in which such a response would be expected. When you come into the office or meet us online for your first appointment, your counselor will work with you to understand your symptoms. If you both decide that it makes sense for you to move forward with treatment, she'll develop a personalized treatment plan to help you move toward a more peaceful life. Your treatment may include cognitive-behavioral therapy, EMDR therapy, dialectical therapy, and more.
