Panic attacks are characterized by unexpected and repeated episodes of intense fear, accompanied by physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat, chest pains, tingling sensations in your body and difficulties breathing. With these symptoms, it is understandable that you might think you are having a heart attack and seek help at the emergency room.

Usually, it is not possible to predict when or where a panic attack will occur. Panic attacks are not dangerous but they are still extremely unpleasant experiences every time they happen. Some people experience feelings of unreality, depersonalization and fears of losing control or going crazy.

Our therapy for panic attacks is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). With the help of CBT, you will learn how your body’s physical symptoms interact with your negative thinking patterns and behaviors to create and maintain your panic. This will help you to identify and change the distorted thinking and de-dramatize your symptoms and panics. With the guidance of your therapist, you will gradually expose yourself to and remain in situations that usually induce your panic attacks. Eventually you will be able to reverse the downward negative spiral and live your life free of anxiety and panic attacks.

"The online worksheets and videos really helped to get me thinking about the ways I am feeling. I like them because a lot of the content I can really relate to and it feels like I finally have a way of understanding what is going on inside my head and a way to put it into words. The live sessions with my therapist have also helped to get me to start thinking about ways I can challenge my negative thoughts and ways to destress."

"Very happy with the service. The worksheets you work through are an added bonus, as well as the option for a private journal. Meanwhile, 5 stars was given because of amazing selection of professional and efficient therapists. With other platforms I was trying before I found it difficult to connect with a therapist that didn't treat online platforms like a second job- often cancelling appts, or leaving me not feeling "present." I have had great experiences through this platform with the caliber of therapists, not to mention the unbeatable price among other similar services. Would recommend."
