Starting Panic attack disorder therapy in Portland

What is panic attack disorder therapy?

Panic attack disorder therapy is a specialized therapeutic approach designed to help individuals suffering from recurrent and debilitating panic attacks. During therapy sessions, individuals work closely with trained Thriveworks Portland therapists to identify and understand the triggers and thought patterns that contribute to their panic attacks. Through panic attack disorder therapy, individuals learn to manage their anxiety, develop coping strategies, and regain control over their lives, ultimately leading to a reduction in the severity of panic attacks.

How does panic attack disorder therapy work?

Panic attack disorder therapy often utilizes cognitive-behavioral techniques like exposure therapy and relaxation exercises to help individuals manage and mitigate panic attacks. These methods involve desensitizing triggers, reducing physical and emotional symptoms, and challenging irrational thought patterns to empower individuals to recognize, control, and reduce the frequency and intensity of panic attacks.

Is panic attack disorder therapy conducted in person or online?

Panic attack disorder therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and through Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does panic attack disorder therapy last?

Panic attack disorder therapy may last for a variable amount of time, depending on the individual’s unique needs.

I am extremely happy with my therapist. Hopefully that is somewhat obvious as I have now been a patient of his/yours for a few years now. . Justin Michaud is fantastic, a true professional. . If he were to leave Thriveworks, unfortunately you'd probably lose me as a customer as I would not want to start over with someone new. . Take care of this provider he is a good one!

I enthusiastically recommend Justin to anyone seeking therapy. I was genuinely surprised by how effective Thriveworks has been for me, and Justin has been the cornerstone of that success. He brings a rare combination of intelligence, compassion, and adaptability to each session. His ability to truly listen, offer thoughtful insights, and meet me where I'm at—especially over Zoom—is impressive. I've worked with other therapists in the past, but none have made me feel as safe, understood, and empowered as Justin has. I'm truly grateful to have him in my corner. He's not just helping me through difficult times—he's helping me grow
