Understanding Anxiety

Anxiety is a natural human emotion, but when it becomes persistent, excessive, and interferes with daily activities, it may indicate an anxiety disorder. Symptoms can include constant worrying, feeling on edge, panic attacks, social avoidance, and physical manifestations like rapid heart rate or shortness of breath. Therapy aims to address these underlying patterns and help you regain control.

Testimonials

Five filled dark teal stars representing a five-star rating

I was referred to Dr Shay Burns to get tested for autism and ADHD as an adult. I was really impressed! After only a few hours of interviews and testing, she wrote a report about me that showed she understood me at a deep level. Plus she’s very friendly, helpful, and fun to talk to.
