The Anxiety Clinic offers individual consultations, which can help youngsters experience confusion in life, anxiety attacks or panic attacks, suffer from incessant thoughts about worst-case scenarios, struggle to form relationships, experience sleep difficulties, ect.
Group therapies are conducted in a safe space, that allows to confront current difficulties in the present moment. These group sessions help to recognise and express emerging emotions and thoughts, gain insights, discover alternative problem-solving methods, experience a supportive intimate relationship, and receive support.
Organisation also organises training sessions and seminars on anxiety itself and anxiety disorders. They invite everyone interested in mental health and anxiety-related topics to attend these seminars. The sessions can be relevant both to those who are just starting to explore anxiety and those who have already been on a long path of treatment.
It is important to mention a very useful tool that they’ve created. It is the first free interactive mobile application in Lithuania designed for people experiencing panic attacks – “Ramu”. It is created by professional psychologists and is based on the knowledge accumulated by scientists and practitioners about panic attacks. The application is both an immediate help during a panic attack that is always with you, and a daily assistant in learning to calm down and relax. In long term it helps to develop self-help skills that eventually help to overcome panic attacks and reduce anxiety on your own.
