In Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Torrance, people are reclaiming their lives with new, science-backed treatments—like TMS, therapy, and more.

What Panic Disorders Really Look Like

Panic disorder isn’t “just stress.” It’s a condition that causes recurring, unexpected panic attacks. These episodes can happen out of nowhere and may include:

Chest pain or racing heart
Dizziness or feeling faint
Sweating or chills
Shortness of breath
A sense of doom or losing control

Without proper support, many people with panic disorder begin avoiding social settings, work, or even driving. This can lead to intense loneliness, depression, and other mental health challenges like PTSD or generalized anxiety disorder.

Panic Attack Therapy Options: What Really Works

Fortunately, there are several effective panic attack therapy options available today. At Wellness TMS, we tailor each treatment plan based on your unique symptoms, history, and goals.

Talk Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) are powerful tools. These evidence-based methods help reframe fearful thoughts, reduce avoidance behaviors, and promote emotional regulation.

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is especially helpful for those with panic rooted in trauma. It uses guided eye movements to help the brain process disturbing memories and reduce their impact.

Medication Management

Some patients benefit from antidepressants or anti-anxiety medication. At Wellness TMS, our psychiatric team offers careful medication management to ensure you’re getting what you need—without overmedicating.

TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)

TMS is a non-invasive treatment that targets brain regions involved in mood and anxiety. It’s FDA-approved for depression and shows promise for panic and anxiety symptoms as well. TMS has minimal side effects and requires no medication, sedation, or downtime.

Ketamine Therapy

Ketamine, traditionally used in anesthesia, is now offered at low doses to relieve treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. It works quickly and can be life-changing when other options have failed.
