Are you facing the hurdles of dealing with anxiety as you enter into the real world? You’re not alone. Anxiety is a widespread concern, but with the right resources and support, you can overcome it. Lumate offers cognitive behavioral therapy tailored to young adults, providing the assistance needed to manage anxiety effectively. If you or someone in your circle is struggling with any of the following, we’re here to help.
Generalized Anxiety refers to intense, excessive, and persistent worry about everyday concerns, such as health, safety, making mistakes, performance at school or at work, the future, or the unknown. Individuals with generalized anxiety tend to think about “What if?” scenarios and worry disproportionately about potential negative outcomes. It is often challenging for them to move on from these thoughts when they arise. Worry can also lead to physical symptoms like muscle tension, trouble concentrating, difficulty sleeping, and being more easily annoyed.
For some teenagers and young adults, social situations generate high anxiety and are endured with distress or, in some cases, avoided completely. Social Anxiety is characterized by a fear of doing something embarrassing or being negatively judged by others. Many individuals experience social anxiety during performance situations, like participating in class, giving presentations, or playing sports. Others experience social anxiety in less structured situations, like starting or joining conversations, hanging out in groups, and being assertive.
Performance Anxiety often occurs when teens and young adults anticipate an important event, such as an important game or match, a school play, musical concert, or public speaking engagement. Individuals worry about their ability to achieve a desired outcome as well as the negative consequences associated with poor performance.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is an anxiety-related disorder. It involves having repetitive thoughts that are hard to get rid of (i.e., obsessions) and is often characterized by doing certain behaviors or rituals intended to make the thought go away or feel less intense (i.e., compulsions). This might look like checking one’s homework over and over again, continuously searching for images online when concerned about a medical condition, or excessive reassurance seeking about an outcome that is highly unlikely.
A Panic Attack is like a sudden wave of extreme worry or fear that comes out of the blue (i.e., in the absence of a feared object or situation) and can feel very uncomfortable. During a panic attack, an individual might experience intense physical sensations, such as having trouble breathing, racing heart, chest pain, nausea, dizziness or they might even feel something terrible is about to happen (e.g., having a heart attack or losing control of their body). Often these attacks peak within a few minutes and last less than ten minutes overall.
Depression is characterized by sad mood that lasts for most of the day multiple days in a row. This change in mood may also be accompanied by a loss of interest in activities that used to be enjoyable as well as physical symptoms such as weight loss or gain, sleeping too much or too little, fatigue, or difficulty concentrating and feelings of worthlessness or thoughts of death. Individuals may experience Mild Depression when these symptoms are present, but do not significantly interfere in their daily activities.
A life stressor is a significant life event or experience that can cause stress and discomfort. Some common stressors include major life transitions such as going to college, entering or exiting a committed relationship, moving homes, and starting a family. Often individuals experiencing Life Stressors and Transitions have difficulty adapting to related changes and may benefit from tools to help them cope.

At Lumate Health, we provide one-on-one, high-quality treatment with expert-trained therapists for teenagers and young adults (aged 12-25) who are struggling with anxiety. We utilize the gold standard of evidence-based approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Our goal is to empower our clients with the tools necessary to face the underlying source(s) of their anxiety.
Lumate Health specializes in treating youth and young adults (ages 12-25) with anxiety and related disorders.
CBT therapists help individuals learn how to recognize and change unhelpful patterns of thinking (the C of CBT) and behavior (the B of CBT) and to accept and better manage the range of emotions that occur in daily life. Therapists work collaboratively with patients to develop goals for therapy, establish hope, and help patients apply specific skills to make positive changes in their mental and physical health and wellness. Teens and young adults learn ways to cope that can be life-affirming as well as life-saving. CBT is an evidence-based treatment supported by decades of scientific testing and research. It is often a short-term treatment and can be effectively delivered via telehealth.
