We provide specialized anxiety treatment designed to help you regain control over your life.

Anxiety disorders are among the most prevalent mental health concerns in the United States, affecting millions of individuals across diverse backgrounds. in Los Angeles County, where the fast-paced lifestyle and high levels of stress can exacerbate these conditions, understanding anxiety disorders is crucial for those seeking help. Anxiety can manifest in many forms, including Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), panic disorders, social anxiety, and specific phobias, each with its own set of symptoms and challenges.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is characterized by excessive worry about various aspects of life, including health, work, and social interactions. Individuals with GAD often find it challenging to control their anxiety, leading to physical symptoms such as fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. For residents of Los Angeles County, the constant influx of stimuli—from traffic congestion to social media pressures—can amplify feelings of anxiety, making it essential to recognize and address these feelings effectively.
Panic disorders, another form of anxiety, are marked by sudden and intense episodes of fear or discomfort, known as panic attacks. These attacks can include heart palpitations, shortness of breath, and a fear of losing control or dying. For many in the bustling environment of Los Angeles, the unpredictability of panic attacks can be particularly distressing, often leading to avoidance behaviors that limit one’s life experiences. Understanding the triggers and symptoms of panic disorders is vital for those who wish to manage their anxiety effectively.
Social anxiety disorder is another common condition that affects many in our community. This disorder involves an intense fear of social situations, leading to avoidance of gatherings and interactions that most people find enjoyable. in a city as vibrant and socially dynamic as Los Angeles, where networking and socializing are often key to personal and professional growth, social anxiety can have a significant impact on one’s quality of life. Recognizing that this is a treatable condition is the first step towards overcoming it.
At Touchstone Trauma Therapy, we believe that understanding the underlying causes of anxiety is essential for effective treatment. These causes can range from genetic predispositions to environmental stressors such as trauma, financial stress, or relationship issues. By working closely with our clients, we aim to identify these root causes and develop personalized treatment plans that focus on both immediate relief and long-term strategies for managing anxiety.
Our approach to anxiety treatment incorporates various therapeutic techniques tailored to meet individual needs. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), for example, is one of the most effective methods for treating anxiety disorders. CBT helps individuals recognize and change negative thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, providing them with practical tools to manage their symptoms. Mindfulness-based therapies, which focus on present-moment awareness and acceptance, can also be beneficial, especially in a city where distractions are everywhere.
Support groups can also play a crucial role in the healing process. Connecting with others who share similar experiences can provide invaluable emotional support and reduce feelings of isolation. Los Angeles County offers numerous resources for individuals seeking community connections, and at Touchstone Trauma Therapy, we encourage participation in group sessions as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
Understanding anxiety disorders is a vital first step for anyone struggling with these conditions. By recognizing the symptoms, triggers, and available treatment options, individuals can take proactive steps toward recovery. At Touchstone Trauma Therapy, we are dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care that empowers our clients to reclaim their lives from anxiety.

Yes, therapy sessions at Touchstone Trauma Therapy are confidential. We adhere to strict ethical guidelines to ensure your privacy and safety, allowing you to share your experiences in a secure and supportive environment.
Somatic Therapy is a form of body-centered therapy that emphasizes the connection between the brain, mind, and body. It utilizes body awareness as a therapeutic tool to explore and resolve the somatic (physical) symptoms of psychological issues. This approach helps individuals recognize and release the physical tension that remains in the body due to past trauma and stress.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a transformative therapeutic model of psychotherapy that helps individuals understand and harmonize the various parts within themselves. According to IFS, we all have different parts within us that carry different thoughts, emotions, and beliefs. These parts can sometimes conflict with each other and create internal struggles and difficulties in our lives. IFS is commonly utilized to work with trauma memories or difficult childhood experiences.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured approach that treats trauma by safely reconnecting individuals with the traumatic images, thoughts, emotions, and body sensations they experienced, leveraging the brain’s natural healing process—Adaptive Information Processing (AIP).
Unlike traditional talk therapy, which often focuses on the traumatic event itself, EMDR targets the emotional disturbances and symptoms stemming from the trauma. The goal is to process these troubling memories, reduce their impact, and help clients develop healthier coping mechanisms.
Through EMDR, memories are transferred from the emotional part of the brain (limbic system) to long-term storage, transforming them from intrusive relived experiences into memories of past events that no longer wield disruptive power.

It focuses on creating a safe, supportive, and respectful environment where clients feel heard, empowered, and never pressured.

At TTT, we utilize Evidence Based modalities such as EMDR, IFS and Somatic/Mindfulness that are effective in addressing and healing from trauma, including complex trauma.
Starting therapy begins with reaching out to schedule an initial consultation or first appointment.

Somatic therapy supports trauma healing by helping clients notice and work with how trauma is held in the body, not just in thoughts or memories. Trauma can affect the nervous system in ways that lead to tension, overwhelm, numbness, or feeling constantly on edge. Through gentle body-based awareness and regulation techniques, somatic therapy helps clients reconnect with their bodies, build a greater sense of safety, and process trauma in a way that feels grounded and manageable.
