Psychological treatments for anxiety disorders, such as Mindfulness-based intervention, Acceptance and Commitment therapy, psychodynamic therapy, emotion-focused therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy, have been tried. Still, most therapies have not proven superior to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) (Byrne, 2023). Cognitive Behavioral therapy is heavily weighted upon at Redeemed Mental Health simply because research and treatment outcomes prove that it is the superior psychological treatment to help people get better. However, medication management is an essential part of overall symptoms reduction.
Conveniently located in Newport Beach, CA, our skilled therapists employ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) to address anxiety’s root causes and provide practical coping strategies.
At Redeemed Mental Health, we empower clients to regain control, reduce symptoms, and foster a sense of calm and well-being. Our commitment to your journey towards anxiety relief is rooted in expertise, empathy, and effective care.
