You can have power over anxiety and panic!
Our panic and anxiety disorder services help to identify and change the thinking patterns that create and reinforce personal fears and to change the way one reacts to anxiety-provoking situations. Individuals can choose to participate in a ten-week group, individual therapy or both.

Two community-based initiatives launched by the Alexian Brothers Center for Mental Health (ABCMH) are helping people with mental illnesses enhance their relationships, improve their quality of life, and in some cases, reintegrate into the community. Alexian Brothers Center for Mental Health's day-hospitalization program "has all the intensity of inpatient hospitalization, but clients get to go home and sleep in their own bed" says Scott Burgess (right). He is shown outside the day-hospitalization facility.
