Dealing with anxiety can feel overwhelming, like being stuck in a room filled with loud noise. It’s more than just the usual stress from work or bills. Many people experience it as a never-ending state of worry that affects their entire day. Whether it’s a tight chest, a racing mind at 3:00 AM, or pulling away from loved ones, it is a heavy burden to carry alone. The good news is that anxiety is highly treatable, and finding the right partner is the first step toward reclaiming your peace.
At Arbor Wellness, we make mental healthcare both professional and approachable. We know that seeking help feels uncertain, especially in a high-energy city like Las Vegas. Our approach is rooted in compassion and real science, treating you as a person rather than just a diagnosis. Whether you visit our office or connect with us virtually, we provide a sanctuary. Here, your concerns are validated, your symptoms are explained, and your path to wellness is clearly defined.
Common Concerns: A Q&A with Arbor Wellness PMHPs
Our Psychiatric Mental Health Practitioners (PMHPs) hear many of the same worries from new patients. Here are the common questions we answer from our expert clinical perspective.
- “Is this just stress, or is it an anxiety disorder?”
- Stress usually disappears once a problem is solved. Anxiety lingers even when there is no clear trigger. It’s like your body’s smoke detector going off when there is no fire. If your worries stop you from working, sleeping, or enjoying life, it is time to seek support. We help you identify if you are facing Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Social Anxiety, or Panic Disorder.
Signs to Look For:
- Physical: These are often the most frightening for patients. They include a racing heart (palpitations), shortness of breath, “butterflies” in the stomach, muscle tension, headaches, and chronic fatigue.
- Mental: This includes “catastrophizing” (always expecting the worst-case scenario), racing thoughts, brain fog, irritability, and a constant sense of impending doom or dread.
- Behavioral: You might find yourself avoiding social situations, procrastinating on simple tasks because they feel overwhelming, or relying on unhealthy coping mechanisms to “numb” the feeling.
- “Will I have to take medication forever?”
- This is a very common question. At Arbor Wellness, our PMHPs use Medication Management as a tool, not a crutch. Think of medication as a “bridge” that lowers the volume of your symptoms. This makes it easier for you to focus on therapy and healthy habits. Some patients use it temporarily, while others use it long-term to balance their brain chemistry. We always work with you to find the lowest effective dose.
- “How do you actually treat anxiety here?”
- Here at Arbor Wellness, we understand that everybody’s experience is unique. It is why we combine conventional treatments with holistic approaches in the hopes of helping you find relief as quickly as possible.
Our treatments include:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Therapy to identify the thought processes that keep you anxious. But first, we’ll teach you to think more holistically.
- Medication Management: We use current medications to help balance the chemicals in your brain, such as serotonin and GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) levels. This can give you physical relief.
- Mindfulness & Somatic Grounding: You’ll learn how to use your breath and senses to stay calm when you feel stressed or have a panic attack.
- “Will my insurance cover therapy for anxiety and other mental health issues at Arbor Wellness? “
Yes, we do accept most commercial insurance for our evidence-based mental health programs (Aetna, Cigna, Anthem, UnitedHealthcare and others). Whether you need help managing anxiety, depression or trauma, our team can provide a free, private insurance check and work with you to reduce out-of-pocket expense. - “Why would I choose Arbor Wellness?”
