Anxiety may be treated by several types of licensed mental health professionals. The best starting point depends on the symptoms, their severity, the type of support you want, and whether medication evaluation is being considered.
Helyx Health includes psychologists and psychiatric clinicians who serve adults in Beverly Hills and surrounding Los Angeles communities.
Psychologists and anxiety therapy
Psychologists provide psychotherapy for anxiety and related concerns. Therapy may address worry, panic, avoidance, social fear, perfectionism, trauma, stress, relationship patterns, and the ways anxiety affects work or daily life.
A psychologist may use CBT, ACT, exposure-based methods, mindfulness, psychodynamic therapy, relational approaches, or trauma-focused treatment depending on their training and the patient’s needs.
Psychiatrists and psychiatric clinicians
Psychiatrists and other qualified psychiatric clinicians evaluate symptoms from a medical and psychiatric perspective. They can consider whether medication may be appropriate, review potential benefits and risks, monitor response and side effects, and coordinate with other members of the patient’s healthcare team.
Medication-management appointments are distinct from psychotherapy, even when both services support the same overall goal.
When combined care may be useful
Some patients work only with a therapist, while others use medication management alone. Combined care may be considered when symptoms are complex, significantly impairing, or only partially responsive to one form of treatment.
The appropriate plan depends on clinical needs and patient preferences. Helyx Health does not require every patient to receive multiple services.
How to choose a provider
Consider the primary symptom you want to address, whether you are seeking therapy or medication evaluation, the clinician’s specialties, appointment logistics, and whether their style appears compatible with your preferences.
Helyx Health’s care coordination team can help review these factors and identify an appropriate available clinician. Temporary openings and insurance participation should be confirmed directly rather than assumed from evergreen website copy.
