Anxiety Disorders are Common

Dr. Kolzet frequently treats individuals who struggle with anxiety. Anxiety is an incredibly common feeling that most of us have experienced in one form or another. For example, we have all dealt with apprehension or worry. It can also appear in the form of physical symptoms such as muscle tension or gastrointestinal concerns. Anxiety disorders are not the same thing as everyday worrying, however, they are the most common mental health problem in the United States.

What is Generalized Anxiety Disorder?

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is understood as the experience of excessive, uncontrollable worry occurring for at least six months.

GAD symptoms include sleep difficulties, trouble concentrating, restlessness, muscle tension and irritability.

Many people with GAD report that the onset has been gradual and that they have felt anxious since childhood. Some people who struggle with GAD and other anxiety disorders spend a lot of time dealing with their symptoms without pursuing therapeutic help.

While coming to therapy can be an overwhelming or daunting experience, Dr. Kolzet aims to make all of her patients comfortable, including those who are struggling with anxiety and beginning psychotherapy for the first time. 

How Therapy Helps

Since each patient is unique, treatment can look different from person to person. With a patient’s input, Dr. Kolzet can successfully create a personalized treatment plan that builds upon your strengths and is tailored to your anxiety-related concerns.
