How We Can Help Calm Your Anxiety

The Loop’s high-pressure environment often contributes to significant stress, worry, and burnout. We offer targeted, evidence-based treatment to help you thrive in this dynamic city center.

Specialized Anxiety Treatment

We move beyond general stress relief to treat specific anxiety disorders like Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Social Anxiety, and Panic Disorder, common among busy Loop professionals.

Work Burnout & Stress Management

Struggling with work burnout? We help you identify and address the roots of chronic overwhelm caused by long hours, high pressure, and the always-on culture of The Loop, offering strategies for sustainable work habits.

LGBTQ+ Affirming Care

The Calm Anxiety Clinic is a culturally competent and affirming space. We provide inclusive care for anxiety, stress, and identity-related concerns, understanding the unique pressures faced by the LGBTQ+ community.
