What is the best treatment for anxiety?
Breakaway Health uses a combination of evidence-based therapies to treat anxiety. But the truth is, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer to what is the best treatment for anxiety—because each person’s experience is unique. Our clinical team, led by experienced professionals including Dr. Nader Siahdohoni, Ph.D., founder and clinical psychologist, understands that effective treatments must be tailored to individual circumstances, severity, and co-occurring conditions.
At our facility in Costa Mesa, we offer therapies that target the thoughts, behaviors, and nervous system imbalances that fuel anxiety. One of our most effective tools is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a trusted approach that helps you identify and shift negative thought patterns. Our specialized CBT services focus on changing negative thought patterns and behaviors, helping individuals identify distorted thinking that contributes to emotional distress and replacing it with more realistic and adaptive thoughts.
Beyond traditional therapy, we incorporate innovative neural pathway treatment that integrates neuro-stimulation and behavioral therapies, specifically addressing brain dysregulation associated with anxiety disorders. This cutting-edge approach combines neuroscience with proven behavioral interventions to promote lasting recovery by repairing neural connectivity and adjusting behavioral patterns.
We also offer individual therapy to focus on your personal needs, group therapy for community support, family therapy to heal relationships and improve communication, medication management when appropriate, and holistic care like yoga, meditation, and music therapy. Exposure therapy techniques are integrated into our treatment plans when appropriate, helping clients gradually face feared situations in a controlled, supportive environment.
These therapies don’t just mask symptoms—they work to heal the root causes of your anxiety. Whether your anxiety is linked to trauma, a mood disorder, or simply a racing mind, we’ll guide you with respect, empathy, and proven tools that work.
