Worry that will not switch off, a body that stays braced, sleep that never quite arrives. Anxiety is one of the most treatable conditions in psychiatry, and Oregon adults can be evaluated here within one to two weeks.
Book a Telehealth Appointment →Anxiety earns its keep in small doses. It gets you to the airport early and makes you check the work before sending it. The problem is when the alarm stops switching off, so the same worry loops all evening, your shoulders never come down, and you lie awake rehearsing a conversation that already went fine.
People often wait years before mentioning it, partly because anxiety is so good at looking like personality. You are the responsible one, the careful one, the one who thinks ahead. What gets missed is the cost: exhaustion, irritability, avoidance that quietly shrinks a life, and a body that has been running at a high idle for so long that stomach problems and headaches feel normal.
Treatment is not about becoming a person who does not care. It is about turning the volume down enough that you can think. That may mean medication, therapy, changes to sleep and caffeine, or a combination. The first visit is a full 60 minutes because the shape of your anxiety matters more than the label.
Worry that moves from topic to topic and never quite lands. Often lifelong and often never named.
The surge that feels like a heart attack. Frightening, common, and highly responsive to treatment once understood.
Not shyness. Dread of being perceived, judged, and found lacking, often shaping career and relationship decisions for decades.
The two travel together more often than not, and treating only one usually leaves the other running.
No. Medication is one option among several, and plenty of people are managed with therapy, sleep work, and lifestyle changes. If medication is worth considering, you will hear the reasoning, the alternatives, and the likely side effects before you decide.
Not for daily or long-term use. This practice does not manage long-term benzodiazepines and does not offer tapering. Occasional or as-needed use is considered individually. There are better long-term options for anxiety, and they are discussed openly.
Most anxiety medications take two to six weeks to show their full effect, which is why follow-ups are scheduled closely at the start. Anyone promising results in days is selling something.
Yes, and it is a common arrangement. With your permission the two sides coordinate so you are not carrying messages back and forth.
Usually within one to two weeks. There is no waitlist and no referral requirement.
By secure video, anywhere in Oregon. The initial evaluation is up to 60 minutes and follow-ups are 30 or 45 minutes. You need to be physically located in Oregon during the visit.
