SPECIALIZED TREATMENT FOR ANXIETY DISORDERS
Therapy That Targets the System Driving Anxiety
Anxiety disorders take many forms — including generalized anxiety, panic disorder, social anxiety, health anxiety, phobias, and performance anxiety. While symptoms vary, the underlying mechanisms that maintain anxiety are remarkably consistent. At Beyond Borders CBT, we specialize in treating anxiety by targeting the core learning processes, avoidance patterns, and safety behaviors that keep anxiety entrenched. Our approach is grounded in advanced cognitive-behavioral and exposure-based models, delivered by clinicians who treat anxiety disorders every day.
Rather than focusing primarily on diagnostic categories, we treat the core system that drives anxiety persistence, including:
• Threat sensitivity
• Avoidance and escape behaviors
• Safety behaviors and reassurance-seeking
• Hypervigilance to internal sensations
• Cognitive threat amplification
• Fear learning and memory processes
This allows treatment to be precise, individualized, and highly effective, even when symptoms are complex, overlapping, or long-standing.
Specialized Expertise
Treatment is active, skills-based, and structured. Most clients begin noticing measurable improvement within the first several weeks, with many completing focused treatment in 12-16 sessions, depending on symptom complexity and severity.
