Anxiety is more than just feeling nervous before a big event—it’s a serious and often overwhelming mental health condition that affects millions of people across the country. Left untreated, anxiety can interfere with relationships, career success, physical health, and overall quality of life. Fortunately, with the right care, anxiety is highly treatable.
At Dr. Sambunaris & Associates, we specialize in evidence-based, integrative treatment for anxiety and related conditions. Our approach goes beyond symptom management to address the root causes of anxiety and help individuals regain control of their lives.
What Is Anxiety?
Anxiety is a normal human response to stress or danger, but for some people, it becomes chronic and excessive. When anxiety becomes persistent and interferes with daily life, it may be diagnosed as an anxiety disorder.
There are several types of anxiety disorders, including:
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) – persistent and excessive worry about everyday matters
- Panic Disorder – recurring panic attacks and fear of future attacks
- Social Anxiety Disorder – intense fear of being judged or embarrassed in social situations
- Phobias – irrational fears of specific objects, activities, or situations
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) – often co-occurring with anxiety

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Anxiety
Q: How do I know if I have anxiety or if I’m just stressed?
A: While occasional stress is normal, anxiety involves persistent feelings of worry, fear, or dread that don’t go away and may worsen over time. If you feel constantly on edge, struggle with sleep, experience physical symptoms (like heart palpitations or stomach issues), or avoid certain situations out of fear, you may be dealing with an anxiety disorder.
Q: Is anxiety treatable without medication?
A: Yes, many people find relief through therapy, lifestyle changes, and non-pharmaceutical treatments. However, for some, medications can be a helpful and necessary part of recovery. At Dr. Sambunaris & Associates, we work with you to find the right balance based on your specific needs and preferences.

A: We offer a unique combination of personalized psychiatric care and access to cutting-edge clinical research. Our deep understanding of brain science allows us to explore treatments beyond the typical “trial-and-error” approach. We prioritize your comfort, confidentiality, and long-term results.
Q: What should I expect during my first appointment?
A: Your first visit involves a comprehensive consultation where we review your medical and mental health history, current symptoms, and personal goals. From there, we’ll create a customized plan that may include therapy, medication, or participation in a clinical research study.
Q: Is everything confidential?
A: Absolutely. We understand the sensitive nature of mental health care and uphold the highest standards of privacy and confidentiality. Your trust is our top priority.
