FOSTERING MENTAL AND RELATIONAL WELLNESS THROUGH PYCHOTHERAPY.

At the Anxiety Institute of San Antonio, Dr. Burkholder specializes in the treatment of anxiety.

Feeling anxiety can be a natural response to help us deal with threats identified in our environment. Anxiety stops being helpful when experienced in safe, everyday situations. Excessive anxiety may start to negatively affect one's emotional well-being, relationships with others, health, career, and identity.

We can help you develop healthy coping skills and thinking through evidence-based techniques and therapies. Together, we work with clients to create meaningful goals and work towards a more manageable, satisfying life.

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., but only 37% of people receive any treatment. Your anxiety may not go away on its own and may get worse over time. Seek help now; it may be easier to treat if addressed early.
