What Is Anxiety?
Anxiety can cause apprehension, fear, nervousness, and worry. This type of mental health concern can affect how you feel and behave. As you may already know, it can even cause real physical symptoms. Mild cases can be uncomfortable and unsettling. Severe cases can be a serious problem and can affect the quality of your everyday life. A professional anxiety therapist can bring both expertise and personal insight to help individuals navigate and overcome anxiety. Dr. Taji can help you work towards building effective coping strategies, promoting self-care, and fostering resilience.
You Don’t Have To Feel This Way
It is common to experience some fear or a sense of worry when being confronted with a challenging situation such as an exam, interview, speech, or recital. These types of feelings are perfectly normal. Severe anxiety, on the other hand, interferes with your ability to function normally in your daily life or causes you to have trouble sleeping. As your anxiety therapist in Glendale, Dr. Taji Huang wants you to know that it doesn’t have to be this way.

It’s important to remember that treatment plans should be personalized and may involve a combination of many approaches.

Dr. Taji can treat you with a variety of different methods, which may include these and others:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Exposure Therapy
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
- Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)
CBT & DBT For Anxiety
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to treat conditions by focusing on identifying, understanding, and changing thinking and behavior patterns. By addressing the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, CBT helps individuals gain insight into their anxiety triggers and develop coping strategies. Dr. Taji works collaboratively with clients to identify and challenge negative thought patterns and irrational beliefs that contribute to anxiety.
By combining acceptance and change, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is another treatment used by Dr. Taji in her treatments as an anxiety therapist. Developed initially for borderline personality disorder, DBT has proven effective in managing anxiety symptoms as well. DBT focuses on teaching individuals how to regulate their emotions, improve interpersonal skills, and tolerate distress. With DBT, individuals can develop a greater sense of emotional stability, enhance their relationships, and enhance their overall quality of life.
