What It Is

Understanding Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety disorders involve excessive anxiety and worry that's difficult to control, occurring more days than not, often for six months or longer. Unlike everyday stress, anxiety disorders can interfere with job performance, relationships, and daily routines, and in more severe cases, lead to avoidance of social situations or everyday responsibilities.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, about 1 in 5 U.S. adults experience an anxiety disorder in a given year, and about 1 in 3 will experience one at some point in their life. Despite how common anxiety is, CDC data shows only about 14% of U.S. adults received counseling or therapy in the past year, meaning a significant number of people living with anxiety aren't yet getting the support that could help.

Located in Phoenixville, we provide anxiety treatment to individuals throughout Chester County and the greater Philadelphia region, including Pottstown, Malvern, Norristown, and surrounding communities.
