How Our Program Treats Anxiety
Tamarack Center provides a structured and supportive environment that can help to treat anxiety disorders in teens. Our programs begin with a thorough assessment and evaluation of the severity of symptoms, identifying triggers, and determining any co-occurring conditions. We then use this data to develop a personalized treatment plan that typically combines evidence-based therapies like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and other therapeutic techniques, alongside medication management when necessary.

Improve Academic Performance
Anxiety can be a major roadblock to academic success. Constant worry and fear can make it difficult to focus in class, complete assignments, or participate in class discussions. At Tamarack Center, our on-site school program can support youth in using coping skills to manage their anxiety in a smaller classroom setting.
Build Stronger Social Connections
Anxiety can lead to social isolation and make it difficult for adolescents to build healthy friendships and relationships. At Tamarack Center, being around others and learning healthy coping mechanisms can help them to feel more comfortable in social situations outside of treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Mild anxiety can show up as occasional worry or nervousness that doesn’t significantly impact daily life. However, severe anxiety becomes a constant presence, causing intense worry, physical symptoms that interfere with daily activities, and social withdrawal. It’s important to seek professional help if anxiety symptoms are causing significant distress or interfering with your child’s ability to function normally.
Medication can be a valuable tool in managing severe anxiety. Our child psychiatric can assess your teen’s individual needs and determine if medication, alongside therapy, would be the most effective approach. Studies have shown that medication can help reduce the intensity of anxiety symptoms and make therapy more effective.
The duration of anxiety varies and depends on the individual and the severity of symptoms. Mild anxiety might come and go in response to specific stressors, while chronic anxiety disorders can persist for years without treatment. With effective treatment, including therapy and/or medication, anxiety symptoms can be significantly reduced or even eliminated.
