Living with panic disorder can feel like living in fear of your own body. Sudden, overwhelming waves of anxiety can make everyday moments feel unsafe. For many, it’s not just the attacks themselves, but the constant fear of having one again that becomes just as paralyzing.
At Florida Atlantic Coast Treatment Solutions (FACTS), we understand how frightening and isolating these experiences can be. Our team offers personalized, evidence-based care in a nurturing and supportive environment. Whether you’re experiencing panic attacks for the first time or have been struggling for years, we’re here to help you find relief, regain confidence, and reconnect with your life.
This anxiety disorder is marked by repeated, unexpected panic attacks. These episodes can occur without warning and are often accompanied by intense physical symptoms. Many people describe them as feeling like a heart attack or losing control.
While it’s normal to feel anxious from time to time, this disorder creates a cycle of fear that can interfere with your ability to function, especially when it leads to avoiding certain places, situations, or even people.
Nearly 5% of American adults experience this challenge at some point in their lifetime. If you’re experiencing frequent attacks or find yourself living in fear of them, you may be dealing with this condition, and treatment is available.
Symptoms often begin suddenly and can vary from person to person. Recognizing these warning signs is the first step in finding support and healing.
Common symptoms include:
Rapid heartbeat or palpitations
Chest pain or tightness
Shortness of breath
Dizziness or lightheadedness
Sweating or chills
Nausea or abdominal distress
Feelings of unreality or detachment
Fear of dying or losing control
Avoidance of situations where previous attacks occurred
These episodes can feel terrifying, but they are treatable. With the right support, many individuals can reduce their symptoms and regain control over their lives.
At FACTS, we offer compassionate, client-centered care for individuals facing anxiety and panic. Every treatment plan is tailored to the individual, combining clinical expertise with holistic practices to support healing on all levels.
One-on-one therapy allows clients to explore the root causes of their anxiety in a private, supportive setting. At FACTS, we offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Together with a licensed therapist, you can identify triggers, build coping strategies, and regain a sense of emotional safety.
In group sessions, clients connect with others who understand what it’s like to live with this disorder. These sessions offer both support and education in a guided, safe environment.
For many, these symptoms are connected to past trauma. Our trauma-informed approach ensures clients feel safe, respected, and understood throughout their healing journey.
Rapid Resolution Therapy (RRT) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) help clients resolve underlying emotional pain quickly and effectively, often reducing the emotional intensity that fuels attacks. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps individuals process distressing memories and experiences that may be contributing to their anxiety.
Yoga, art, meditation, and sound therapy are integrated to promote mind-body healing. These approaches help reduce stress, regulate the nervous system, and provide tools for self-soothing during moments of anxiety.
Panic disorder can affect family dynamics and relationships. Our family services help loved ones understand the disorder, improve communication, and provide healthy, effective support.
