While it is normal to feel anxious sometimes, anxiety disorders involve persistent, excessive worry that starts to take over your life.

At Serene Minds Center, we specialize in helping folks regain control over their anxiety. One patient, let’s call her Sarah, came to us unable to leave her house due to severe panic attacks. After a few months of treatment, she was back at work and even planning a vacation. It is stories like these that remind us why we do what we do.
