What Should You Expect From Anxiety Treatment in Beverly Hills, CA?

Your First Visit: Compassionate and Confidential
At Helyx Health, your care begins with a confidential initial assessment. You’ll meet with a mental health professional to discuss your anxiety, symptoms, daily life, and triggers. Our providers listen with compassion and work to understand your unique situation, ensuring that care is tailored to you.

Personalized Treatment Options at Helyx Health
After the assessment, your provider will recommend a treatment plan that suits your needs. Common approaches include evidence-based therapies, medication management, or a combination of both. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is often used to help you identify and change negative thought patterns contributing to anxiety, promoting healthier coping strategies.

Medication Support
If medication is necessary, your provider will explain your options, including potential benefits, side effects, and how the medication works. Medications are typically started at a low dose and adjusted as needed, with regular follow-ups to monitor progress.

Ongoing Support—Every Step of the Way
At Helyx Health, we prioritize open communication to ensure you’re supported throughout your treatment. As you progress, many patients experience a gradual improvement in anxiety symptoms and overall quality of life.

At Helyx Health, we offer effective psychotherapy, focusing on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help identify and challenge anxiety-triggering thought patterns and behaviors. Through regular sessions, you’ll learn coping strategies, relaxation techniques, and ways to gradually face your fears in a supportive setting.

For some patients, medication such as SSRIs or anti-anxiety medications may be prescribed to help balance brain chemistry and reduce symptoms, enhancing the effectiveness of therapy. We believe combining therapy with medication often leads to the best results.

Healing from anxiety is a gradual process. Early treatment focuses on understanding anxiety, recognizing triggers, and building trust with your provider. As you progress, you’ll practice mindfulness, deep breathing, and problem-solving both in therapy and daily life. Over time, many patients experience a reduction in anxiety and increased confidence in managing stress.

We understand recovery isn’t always linear. Setbacks can happen, but with consistent support and commitment, improvement is achievable. Healthy lifestyle changes, such as exercise and good sleep, also enhance long-term well-being.

Regular follow-up appointments at Helyx Health ensure your treatment plan evolves as your needs change, supporting you every step of the way toward managing anxiety and living a fulfilling life.

Taking the first step toward managing anxiety is a significant milestone, and at Helyx Health, we are dedicated to supporting you on your journey toward better mental health. Your initial session is typically an assessment with one of our experienced clinicians, designed to help us understand your symptoms and your unique needs.
 
During this session, your Helyx Health provider will ask about your history with anxiety, how it affects your daily life, and any treatments you may have tried in the past. We’ll also discuss your overall medical and mental health background, including family history, relationships, work, school, and the coping strategies you currently use. Our team will explain confidentiality, review the treatment options available at Helyx Health, and answer any questions you have about the process.
 
How to Prepare for Your First Visit:

• Reflect: Think about when your anxiety started, what tends to trigger it, and how it impacts your everyday life.
• List Your Symptoms: Consider both physical and emotional symptoms you experience.
• Set Goals: Identify what you hope to achieve through treatment at Helyx Health.
• Gather Information: Bring any relevant medical records or a list of current medications.
• Prepare Questions: Write down any concerns or topics you’d like to discuss with your provider.
• Arrive Early: Arriving a few minutes before your appointment allows you to settle in and complete any necessary paperwork.
 
It’s completely normal to feel nervous or unsure before your first session. At Helyx Health, we strive to create a welcoming, confidential environment where you can feel safe to share your experiences and take the first step toward lasting well-being.

Two of the most common and effective treatment paths for anxiety are therapy and medication—and, in some cases, a combination of both. Here’s what you can expect from each approach at Helyx Health:
 
Therapy for Anxiety at Helyx Health
We offer comprehensive therapy options, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), widely regarded as the gold standard for treating anxiety. Working with our experienced mental health professionals, you’ll engage in structured sessions designed to help you identify and challenge anxious thought patterns and behaviors. Over time, you’ll develop practical coping skills, relaxation techniques, and strategies to manage anxiety in daily life. Therapy is a process—it requires commitment over several weeks to months—but the benefits are often long-lasting. Many patients find they gain confidence and tools to manage anxiety independently, potentially reducing the need for ongoing intervention.
 
Medication Management at Helyx Health
For some, medication can be a crucial part of anxiety management. Our healthcare providers at Helyx Health can prescribe and monitor medications such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), and, in certain cases, short-term benzodiazepines. We’ll work closely with you to monitor your response, manage side effects, and adjust your treatment plan as necessary. Medications may bring relief within a few weeks, which is particularly helpful if anxiety symptoms are severe or interfering with your daily life. Our team ensures you have regular follow-ups and the support you need throughout your medication journey.
 
A Personalized, Combined Approach
Many people benefit from a combined approach—using both therapy and medication—to achieve rapid symptom relief while building long-term coping strategies. At Helyx Health, we take the time to understand your medical history, lifestyle, and treatment preferences. Together, we’ll create a care plan tailored specifically to you.

At Helyx Health, your journey toward relief from anxiety is guided by our experienced clinical team, including Dr. Tony Masri, MD, and Dr. Britney Blair. Our practice is dedicated to providing collaborative, patient-centered care rooted in the latest medical and psychological research.

Dr. Masri or Dr. Blair will take the time to understand your unique symptoms, medical and psychiatric history, lifestyle factors, and any co-existing health concerns.

We utilize evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns that may be fueling your anxiety.
