Panic attacks are characterized by unexpected and repeated episodes of intense fear, accompanied by physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat, chest pains, tingling sensations in your body and difficulties breathing. With these symptoms, it is understandable that you might think you are having a heart attack and seek help at the emergency room.

Usually, it is not possible to predict when or where a panic attack will occur. Panic attacks are not dangerous but they are still extremely unpleasant experiences every time they happen. Some people experience feelings of unreality, depersonalization and fears of losing control or going crazy.

Our therapy for panic attacks is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). With the help of CBT, you will learn how your body’s physical symptoms interact with your negative thinking patterns and behaviors to create and maintain your panic. This can help you to identify and change the distorted thinking and de-dramatize your symptoms and panics. With the guidance of your therapist, you will gradually expose yourself to and remain in situations that usually induce your panic attacks. Over time, many people learn to reduce the intensity of panic symptoms and regain confidence in situations that previously triggered panic.

"I like that it is online and you don’t have to drive to a real-world establishment. You can work at your own pace, rather than be obligated to work at someone else’s pace. The tools are helpful and easy to navigate. The worksheets make it easy to express."

"Ms. Tyi is an amazing therapist. So glad I was paired with her. I was so worried about the possibility of being paired with someone who I cannot relate to, since this is my first time trying out therapy in general. She is relateable, likeable and wonderful overall. Her approach is kind,understanding and comforting. Highly recommend her."

"I was hesitant to start therapy online, but I decided to give it a go and I'm absolutely in love with the experience. The website is very well put together, I particuarly enjoy the text exchange with my therapist (Who is beyond amazing at her work), I feel like thise medium of communication allows me to really dive deep into my thoughts and feelings, and the live sessions become an exciting, supportive part of the process rather than me trying to fit all the complexity of my world into a 45 min weekly session.

100% recommend, I myself will keep using the service for as long as I can afford it (and it is very affordable, especially for the ammount of help I'm getting out of it)."
