Anxiety Treatment in Spokane, Washington

By We Level Up WA | Author Alex Evans, PharmD, MBA | Editorial Policy | Research Policy

Living with anxiety can feel like carrying an invisible weight that affects every aspect of your life. From persistent worry that disrupts your daily routine to overwhelming panic that strikes without warning, anxiety disorders can be debilitating. Effective treatment is the key to getting your life back.

Understanding Anxiety

Anxiety is a complex mental health condition that can manifest in various ways, affecting your thoughts, emotions, and even physical health. When anxiety becomes persistent and excessive, interfering with daily activities, it may indicate an anxiety disorder that requires professional attention.

The impact extends beyond mental discomfort, often leading to:

• Disrupted sleep patterns
• Strained relationships
• Decreased productivity at work or school
• Physical symptoms like headaches, digestive issues, and muscle tension
• Increased risk of developing other health conditions

What makes anxiety particularly challenging is how it can create a cycle of avoidance and fear that gradually limits your life experiences. Many people wait years before seeking help, often because they don’t recognize their symptoms as treatable or feel embarrassed about reaching out.

The good news? Anxiety disorders are highly treatable. With proper professional support and evidence-based approaches, you can develop effective strategies to manage symptoms and improve your quality of life significantly.

Phobia-Related Disorders

Specific phobias involve marked fear or anxiety about a specific object or situation, such as heights, flying, or certain animals. The fear is out of proportion to the actual danger and leads to avoidance behaviors that can significantly impact daily functioning.

Other Specified Anxiety Disorders

Other anxiety conditions may not fit neatly into the categories above but still cause significant distress and impairment in daily functioning.

Many individuals experience multiple types of anxiety simultaneously or have co-occurring conditions like depression or substance use disorders.

Treatment

Treatment for anxiety typically includes medication, therapy, or both.

Therapy

Evidence-based therapeutic approaches for anxiety include:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps identify and change negative thought patterns that fuel anxiety. Research shows CBT effectively reduces anxiety symptoms in 60-80% of people who complete treatment.
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Combines cognitive techniques with mindfulness practices to improve emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
• Exposure Therapy: Gradually and safely confronts anxiety triggers to reduce fear responses over time.
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Focuses on accepting uncomfortable thoughts and feelings while committing to behaviors that align with personal values.
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): Particularly effective for anxiety related to traumatic experiences.

Medications

For some individuals, medication plays an important role in managing anxiety symptoms. Common medications for anxiety include:

• Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)
• Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs)
• Benzodiazepines (for short-term use)
• Buspirone
• Beta-blockers

Support Groups and Family Programs

Healing happens in community. Support groups connect you with others facing similar challenges, reducing isolation and providing practical insights for recovery. Meanwhile, family programs educate loved ones about anxiety disorders and healthy support strategies, strengthening your overall support system.

Inpatient Treatment

For those experiencing severe anxiety symptoms or complex co-occurring disorders,  inpatient treatment provides a structured, supportive environment where you can focus entirely on recovery. 

This immersive approach usually includes:

• 24/7 medical supervision and support
• Removal from anxiety triggers and stressors
• Intensive daily therapy sessions
• Structured routine that promotes stability
• Community support from peers on similar journeys
• Comprehensive care addressing all aspects of wellness

The residential setting allows for deeper therapeutic work and provides a safe space to practice new coping skills before returning to daily life.

Our Holistic and Integrated Treatment Approach

At We Level Up WA, we believe effective anxiety treatment requires more than just addressing symptoms, it means understanding and treating the whole person. Our approach combines evidence-based clinical practices with holistic methods that nurture mind, body, and spirit.

We recognize that anxiety often doesn’t exist in isolation. Research shows that many people with anxiety disorders also struggle with substance use issues, a condition known as dual diagnosis. Our integrated treatment model addresses both conditions simultaneously, rather than treating them as separate issues. This approach significantly improves outcomes and reduces the risk of relapse.

Each treatment plan we develop is as unique as the individual it serves. We consider your:

• Specific anxiety symptoms and triggers
• Personal history and life circumstances
• Co-occurring mental health or substance use concerns
• Previous treatment experiences
• Personal goals and preferences
• Support system and resources

This personalized approach ensures that your treatment directly addresses your unique challenges and builds on your existing strengths. Throughout your journey with us, we continuously assess progress and adjust your plan as needed to optimize your recovery.
