Break Free from Panic Attacks with Expert Therapy in Brooklyn
Sudden waves of fear, racing heartbeat, shortness of breath — panic attacks can feel terrifying and unpredictable. If you’ve ever felt like you’re losing control or facing a life-threatening emergency, you’re not alone. At Dr. Bruce Hoffman’s clinic in Brooklyn, we offer targeted therapy to help you understand, manage, and overcome panic attacks — whether they’re part of anxiety therapy, trauma, or phobia-related conditions.
What Are Panic Attacks?
- Panic attacks are intense episodes of fear or discomfort that peak within minutes and often strike without warning.
- Common symptoms include chest pain, dizziness, trembling, rapid heartbeat, and a sense of impending doom.
Therapy That Works
- We use evidence-based approaches like CBT to help you identify triggers, challenge anxious thoughts, and build coping strategies.
- Our goal is not just symptom relief — but long-term emotional resilience and confidence.
Education & Empowerment
- Understanding the physiology of panic attacks helps reduce fear and restore a sense of control.
- Psychoeducation is a key part of our process — helping you recognize patterns and respond with clarity.
Cognitive Restructuring
- We help you reframe irrational beliefs and replace them with balanced, realistic thoughts.
- This reduces the intensity and frequency of panic episodes over time.
Breathing & Relaxation Techniques
- We teach deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and mindfulness to calm your body and mind.
- These tools are essential for managing panic symptoms in real time.
Exposure Therapy for Panic & Phobias
- For panic linked to specific fears — like fear of flying — we offer exposure therapy in Brooklyn to help you face triggers gradually and safely.
- Over time, you’ll build confidence and reduce avoidance behaviors.
Medication Support
- In some cases, medication may be helpful. We collaborate with prescribing professionals to ensure safe, effective care.
- Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are commonly used to reduce panic frequency and severity.
Lifestyle & Support Systems
- We guide you in making lifestyle changes — sleep, nutrition, exercise — that support emotional stability.
- Building a support network is also key. Whether through family, friends, or family therapy in Brooklyn, connection helps you heal.
