Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Anxiety: Please continue to be followed by your doctor. See a licensed clinical psychologist for psychological testing which he/she can follow up w/a course of psychotherapy if needed. See www.relaxationresponse.org for some self-help also. Peace and good health.
