Anxiety Treatments Offered at Crawford Clinics 

At Crawford Clinics, the therapy team focuses on a holistic approach to treating anxiety and stress. Some of the primary treatments offered include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), EMDR, Integrated Life Solutions, Internal Family Systems (IFS), SOZO and other inner healing modalities, holistic health care, and adopting a healthier lifestyle. There are also e-learning courses to help you understand your mental health and gain tools to help you improve your mental health. You can also reduce stress with other services including couples counseling, family therapy, and career counseling to help you resolve areas of stress that may be feeding your anxiety.

 

  1. Psychotherapy: Talk therapy is a proven method for treating anxiety and stress. It allows you to explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe, non-judgmental environment. The Crawford Clinics therapists are all trained in the Restoring-Self-Cohesion (RSC) approach that helps you identify unconscious dynamics producing anxiety symptoms. You’ll learn to navigate the complexities of your emotions and develop effective coping strategies. By working through the root causes of anxiety, you’ll learn to manage your symptoms and feel like yourself again. You are NOT broken, but there are internal misalignments that need to be addressed. Once resolved, your internal world begins to function as intended.
  2. Holistic suggestions for brain health: In some cases, supplements, alternative medicine, or medication may be recommended to help manage anxiety and stress. Dr. Crawford and her team work closely with clients to address anxiety as holistically as possible. Crawford Clinics partners with Amen Clinics to offer the most advanced brain scans to illuminate brain issues producing anxiety symptoms. By thoroughly assessing brain health, the team ensures that clients receive the appropriate treatment for their specific situation, minimizing the risk of side effects and improving overall well-being.
  3. Adopting a Healthier Lifestyle: A healthier lifestyle can have a significant impact on reducing anxiety and stress. At Crawford Clinics, our joy is to see you thrive in community, explore new interests and passions, travel, and enjoy your life in a full and purposeful pursuit. Our goal is not only to reduce your anxiety but also to help you adopt habits that promote physical, emotional, spiritual, relational, and mental well-being. This may include improving sleep habits, incorporating regular exercise, practicing mindfulness techniques, discovering new interests, relationship enrichment, and developing an eating plan ideal for your mental health. By addressing the whole person, Crawford Clinics clients can experience a greater sense of internal peace, improved energy, more creativity, deeper relational connection, and career satisfaction.
