FAQ
Reach Out and Talk to Us Today
Can therapy stop panic attacks completely?
Many people experience a significant reduction in both the frequency and severity of panic attacks. While occasional symptoms may still arise, therapy equips you with tools to manage them effectively.
How long does it take to feel results?
No two people are the same. Some clients notice improvements within weeks, while others may need longer-term support depending on their history and symptoms. We’re here to support everybody, regardless of how long the journey takes.
Do I need medication as well as therapy?
Not always. Many people manage panic effectively with therapy alone, though some benefit from a combined approach. We can collaborate with medical providers if needed.
Are panic attack therapists in Chicago available virtually?
Yes. We offer both in-person and online therapy sessions for clients across Chicago.
