Understanding Anxiety
Anxiety is linked to changes in how the brain processes stress and threat signals, involving chemicals such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and GABA. It can stem from genetics, trauma, chronic stress, or environmental factors. While anxiety can feel overwhelming, it is one of the most treatable mental health conditions. With consistent care, many individuals regain balance, focus, and emotional stability. Our providers focus on restoring the mind-body connection to help you manage stress responses and build lasting resilience.
