Panic and Anxiety Attacks
Anxiety with Panic attacks or Anxiety Attacks.
​
Living with anxiety—especially when it includes panic attacks—can feel like being stuck in a loop of fear you can’t escape. Your heart races, your mind spins with “what ifs,” and your body feels like it’s bracing for impact… even when nothing is truly wrong. This is more than just worry. It's a deep, overwhelming sense that the future holds danger, and that you won’t be able to handle it.
At Greystones Health, we understand that anxiety is not a sign of weakness—it’s a sign your nervous system is in overdrive, trying to protect you. Anxiety disorders can show up as persistent fear, restlessness, or the desperate urge to escape or avoid certain situations. They can interfere with your ability to focus at work, enjoy time with loved ones, or simply feel at ease in your own body.
What’s often missed is that anxiety isn’t just “in your head.” It can stem from a cycle of overestimating the threat and underestimating your ability to cope—leaving you in a loop of worry, avoidance, and temporary relief that keeps the fear alive.
But healing is possible.
Our integrative approach combines psychotherapy—to help you understand and rewrite unhelpful thought patterns—with naturopathic medicine, which supports your nervous system and reduces physical contributors to anxiety, like hormonal imbalances, blood sugar instability, inflammation, and nutrient deficiencies.
We don’t just manage symptoms—we work with you to break the cycle of anxiety and build lasting inner calm.
You deserve to feel safe in your mind, steady in your body, and confident in your ability to handle whatever comes next.

There are different types of anxiety, such as:
​
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
This form of anxiety involves persistent, excessive worry about everyday life—work, health, family, finances, or the future. Even when there’s no immediate threat, your mind stays stuck in “what if” mode, leaving your body feeling drained and on edge.
​
Phobias
Phobias are intense, irrational fears about a specific object or situation—like spiders, needles, heights, or flying. These fears can lead to avoidance behaviors that disrupt daily life, even when the threat isn’t present.
​
Agoraphobia
Agoraphobia is the fear of being in situations where escape might feel difficult—like crowded places, public transport, or open spaces. For some, the fear becomes so overwhelming that leaving home feels impossible. It’s often tied to fears of having a panic attack in public.
​
Panic Attacks
These are sudden, intense episodes of fear that peak within minutes. People may feel heart palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, or chest pain—often mistaking it for a heart attack. Panic disorder develops when this fear of fear becomes chronic, and avoidance sets in.
​
Social Anxiety
Social anxiety goes beyond shyness—it’s a deep fear of being judged, embarrassed, or rejected in social or performance situations. People often worry others will notice their anxiety—like blushing, shaking, or stumbling over words—creating a cycle of avoidance and isolation.

Treatments
At Greystones Health, we take an integrated, whole-person approach that goes beyond talk therapy alone. By combining the powerful insights of Psychotherapy with the personalized care of Naturopathic Medicine, we support your healing on every level—mental, emotional, and physical.
​
While psychotherapy helps you process thoughts, emotions, and past experiences, our naturopathic lens explores the biological root causes that may be impacting your emotional well-being. We assess for:
​
-
Chronic inflammation
-
Food intolerances and gut-brain imbalances
-
Blood sugar irregularities (even those missed by standard labs)
-
Hormonal imbalances (testosterone, estrogen, progesterone)
-
Stress hormone dysregulation (like elevated or depleted cortisol)
​
This mind-body synergy has helped many of our clients not only feel better emotionally, but also experience improvements in energy, mood, sleep, digestion, and stress tolerance. As we restore balance to the body, clients often find it easier to build and maintain healthy habits like regular exercise, nourishing meals, and meaningful routines.
​
Whether you’re working through trauma, burnout, anxiety, or depression, this integrated path to healing can help you feel more like yourself again—from the inside out.
