Treatment Options for Anxiety

At Integrative Life Center, we take a heart-centered approach to treating mental health disorders such as anxiety. As Sheena said:<br><br>u201cOur lives are full of mountain peaks and valley floors. It can seem that the valley is all that is known. However, that is not where a person is meant to live. Addressing the root of the issues is where we can help guide someone out of the valley because the sun is warmer and brighter at the top of the hill.u201d
