Find Professional Anxiety Counseling in Beverly Hills CA to Overcome Your Struggles

When you first connect with Helyx Health in Beverly Hills, your care begins with a comprehensive clinical evaluation that aims to get a full picture of what’s contributing to anxiety — both immediate triggers and underlying factors.

Here’s how that assessment typically unfolds:

• Detailed clinical interview & history-taking: A provider will ask about your presenting symptoms (worry, panic, hyperarousal, avoidance, sleep disruptions, physical tension, etc.), when they began, what seems to worsen or relieve them, and how they impact daily functioning (work, relationships, sleep, concentration). They’ll also explore your personal history — including past stressors, trauma, family mental‑health background, lifestyle habits (sleep, diet, exercise), medical history, any previous treatment or medications. This holistic review helps to distinguish between situational anxiety, chronic anxiety, or anxiety tied to other mental‑health or medical issues. This is consistent with best practices in behavioral‑health assessment.

• Use of structured diagnostic tools where appropriate: Depending on your history and symptoms, the clinician may use standardized screening tools or questionnaires (for anxiety, mood, trauma, sleep or medical conditions) to clarify diagnoses and gauge severity — especially important when multiple issues may overlap (e.g. anxiety plus trauma, sleep problems, or mood changes). This helps build a more objective baseline before treatment begins.

• Biopsychosocial formulation: After gathering all relevant information — psychological, medical, lifestyle, environmental — your care team builds an integrative formulation. This helps answer: What’s going on? Why now? What lifestyle or medical factors might be contributing? What psychological patterns or triggers are involved? And what treatment approach(s) might best address your unique situation?

• Collaborative treatment planning: Based on the assessment, the therapists or medical providers at Helyx Health (such as Dr. Alex Eichenbaum or Brooke Bearden, PA-C) work with you to create a tailored treatment plan — selecting the right combination of therapy modalities, lifestyle supports, and if needed, medication or medical management.

This thorough, personalized intake process helps ensure that your treatment is not just “one-size-fits-all,” but aligned with your history, needs, and long‑term wellness goals.

Helyx Health’s model is designed to handle real-world ups and downs. Because they combine psychotherapy, medical management, and lifestyle support, there are multiple pathways for addressing worsening symptoms between sessions. For instance:

• Medical or medication management: If anxiety worsens due to biological factors — sleep disruption, hormonal issues, neurochemistry — Brooke Bearden, PA‑C, can adjust medical treatment or recommend supportive interventions to stabilize things. The integrative approach means mental health isn’t separated from physical and lifestyle health.

• Flexible therapy support and adjustments: Therapy sessions and modalities can be adjusted as needed. If stress increases, the care team may intensify support — adding more frequent therapy visits, or shifting modalities (for example, incorporating evidence‑based trauma therapy if certain triggers or past trauma are revisited). Helyx Health’s clinical flexibility allows for dynamic response.

• Holistic support including lifestyle and sleep/medical check-ins: Because Helyx Health considers sleep, physical health, and overall well‑being as part of mental health, your care plan may include lifestyle interventions (sleep hygiene, nutrition, stress‑management practices) or medical assessments if underlying issues might be exacerbating anxiety. These additional supports can help stabilize symptoms outside therapy sessions.

• Continuity and collaboration: The team works collaboratively — therapists, medical providers, sleep specialists — to ensure integrated care. That coordination means if you experience a flare-up between sessions, there’s capacity to re-evaluate and recalibrate treatment rather than waiting for a fixed schedule.

In short: you’re not left on your own. The integrative and adaptive structure at Helyx Health is designed to provide ongoing support and flexibility if your anxiety worsens or if new issues emerge between sessions.

Yes — at Helyx Health, treatment rarely focuses solely on talk therapy. Because their philosophy is holistic and integrative, they routinely incorporate lifestyle and medical factors into anxiety treatment.

• Sleep & sleep‑related health: Many anxiety issues are closely connected to sleep — poor sleep quality, circadian rhythm problems, insomnia. Helyx Health includes sleep specialists among their clinicians and offers sleep treatment (including assessments and home sleep studies, if needed) as part of a comprehensive care plan.

• Attention to overall health — nutrition, gut health, physical wellness: Providers like Brooke Bearden, PA‑C, don’t simply view anxiety as a standalone psychological issue. They consider how nutrition, gut health, and lifestyle impact mood and anxiety. In some cases, functional medicine or medical evaluations may be recommended when these factors appear relevant.

• Integration with therapy: Evidence-based talk therapies (e.g. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, other modalities) are combined with lifestyle and medical support — a biopsychosocial model. This broader perspective often leads to more stable, long-term improvements in anxiety, rather than just symptom suppression.
 
• Empowering self‑care and sustainable habits: As part of treatment, you may receive guidance and support to build healthy habits — good sleep hygiene, balanced diet, stress‑management routines, mindfulness or relaxation practices, regular exercise — which help reduce vulnerability to anxiety recurrence and support overall mental wellness. This aligns with research showing lifestyle interventions can augment psychotherapeutic benefits.

Helyx Health recognizes that anxiety often doesn’t occur in isolation. Many people seeking help may also have a history of trauma, overlapping mental‑health challenges (depression, sleep disorders, stress, burnout), or lifestyle/medical issues that contribute to anxiety. Their integrated model is designed to address this complexity.

Here’s how they manage overlapping issues and trauma:

• Evidence‑based trauma‑informed care: If trauma is part of your background, Helyx Health offers therapies designed to help process and heal past trauma safely. For example, they provide Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy — a highly effective method for reprocessing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional impact, thereby alleviating anxiety and related symptoms.

• Holistic diagnostic clarity: Through the initial comprehensive assessment, the care team identifies not only anxiety-related symptoms, but also other mental‑health conditions (depression, sleep disorders, trauma‑related stress, etc.) and medical or lifestyle contributors. This helps generate a clear, integrative treatment plan, rather than treating anxiety in isolation.

• Multimodal, coordinated care: Treatment may involve a combination of therapy (CBT, mindfulness, EMDR), lifestyle adjustments (sleep, nutrition, exercise), and if needed, medical or psychiatric care (medication management, functional medicine, sleep treatment). The goal is to address root causes and contributing factors — psychological, biological, social — for more comprehensive healing.

• Ongoing support and flexibility: Because the care team is prepared for complexity, they can adjust the plan as needed. If trauma‑related symptoms, sleep issues, or comorbid mood symptoms arise or worsen, your provider may shift modalities, incorporate additional therapies, or recommend supportive medical/lifestyle interventions. This flexibility supports long-term recovery and resilience.

• Comprehensive, individualized care: Dr. Alex at Helyx Health doesn’t treat anxiety as isolated symptoms. His model blends psychotherapy, medical evaluation, lifestyle medicine, and sleep care — depending on your needs.

• Flexible access: Their Beverly Hills office (9465 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 300) offers in‑person services — and they also provide telehealth options, which can be especially helpful if schedule, travel, or mobility is a concern.
 
• Support for complex or overlapping issues: Dr. Eichenbaum’s approach offers support for complex or overlapping issues such as sleep disturbances, trauma, or medical conditions contributing to anxiety. His ability to tackle these complexities ensures a clearer understanding of your situation.
 
• Empowering, long-term wellness orientation: With evidence-based therapies and integrated support, Dr. Eichenbaum’s care isn’t just about symptom relief; it’s about building long-term resilience, improving emotional balance, and fostering healthy sleep and habits for a better overall quality of life.
