Anxiety is the most common mental health condition in the U.S., and one of the most treatable. Our Riverside therapists and psychiatrists help you quiet the noise, calm the body, and build confidence to face life without constant fear.
Anxiety does not always look the same. The National Institute of Mental Health estimates that over 31 percent of US adults will experience an anxiety disorder at some point in their lives. It can be relentless worry that will not shut off, panic attacks that come out of nowhere, a racing heart before everyday situations, or physical symptoms with no clear medical cause. Whatever form it takes, anxiety is one of the most treatable conditions in mental health.
Our therapists use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the gold-standard treatment for anxiety. CBT helps you identify the thought patterns that keep anxiety going and build more accurate, balanced ways of responding. Many clients also benefit from gradual exposure work, which helps you reclaim the situations anxiety has made you avoid, one step at a time.
For clients whose anxiety is rooted in trauma, we offer EMDR therapy, which targets the underlying memories directly rather than managing surface symptoms. Anxiety and PTSD frequently overlap; if you are unsure which fits your experience, we will sort that out together during your intake.
Not everyone needs medication. But for some people the right medication makes a real difference, either alongside individual therapy or on its own. Our board-certified psychiatrists do thorough evaluations and work closely with your therapist to find what fits your situation.
Riverside has served Loudoun County since 2002. We understand what daily life here looks like: demanding careers in government and tech, high-achieving school environments, long commutes, and a general sense that stopping is not really an option. We treat generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety, health anxiety, phobias, and separation anxiety in children, teens, and adults. In-person sessions are available in Ashburn, and telehealth is available throughout Virginia. For some things to try between sessions, our therapists put together 7 practical tips for managing anxiety day to day.
