Therapy requires we slow down long enough to look at our lives with a bit more curiosity, a lot less judgment. That is my goal in supporting you with what brings you to therapy: as a therapist and clinical manager at Calm Pittsburgh, our sessions will be a collaboration, a space to observe and reconcile the narratives we tell, read between the lines of our daily habits, and approach our unhelpful patterns with openness and flexibility.

You analyze every pattern, see the red flags in real-time, and still end up stuck:
You take care of everything and everyone—but do you know what joy feels like when it’s just for you?
You shape-shift to keep the peace—but if you didn't have to betray yourself to make others comfortable?
You hold yourself to impossible standards—but what if “enough” didn’t have to mean perfect?
You’ve spent so long handling everything alone—but what if support didn’t have to mean losing control?
You crave structure but resist rigidity—because you need a system that works with your brain, not against it.

Anxiety Therapists
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
