At the Forefront - UChicago Medicine

Anxiety Program

Adult Anxiety 

We specialize in the evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of adults with different types of anxiety disorders.

A multidisciplinary team led by a psychologist and psychiatrist reviews all cases in the clinic and provides integrated evidence-based treatment, including medication management and cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy.

Our clinicians have experience working with:

  • Generalized anxiety and worry
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder
  • Panic disorder
  • Phobias
  • Social anxiety
  • Trauma

Treatment

Cognitive-behavioral therapy involves multiple interventions, such as education, self-monitoring, cognitive restructuring, exposure, response prevention and relaxation.

Medications are prescribed as appropriate and all providers work closely together to develop and execute an individualized treatment plan for each patient.

The clinic is conducted in an outpatient setting but inpatient, or more intensive treatment, is arranged, if necessary.

In addition, co-occurring disorders (e.g. depression, interpersonal problems) are also evaluated and treated.
