Dunwoody, GA

# Anxiety & OCD Therapy for _Dunwoody_.

(the meetings end. the thinking about them doesn't.)

Dunwoody sits in DeKalb County, southeast of Alpharetta along GA-400 and near I-285 and Perimeter Center. Your workday might run through that cluster of offices and roads. An appointment does not need to mean adding another trip to an already complicated commute. You can meet by secure telehealth anywhere in Georgia, or come to the only in-person office at 290 S Main St, Suite 200, Alpharetta, GA 30009.

If the calendar looks fine from the outside but you are replaying a meeting for the rest of the evening, that is worth talking about. So is the dread before a normal work conversation or the need to check a message one more time before bed. We can work on the anxious pattern rather than asking you to find an entirely empty week first.

The first step is a free 15-minute consult. You can ask about in-person sessions or decide that a video appointment is the more practical way to start. Neither format changes where the office is or what we work on together.

Dunwoody specifically

## What anxiety can look like in _Dunwoody_.

A day near Perimeter Center can involve several short trips that somehow eat up the whole afternoon. You leave a meeting, join traffic, and arrive home with the conversation still running in your head. What if that pause meant you sounded unprepared? What if the email you sent afterward made it worse? If this sounds familiar, the commute may give the worry a lot of uninterrupted time to talk.

Work anxiety is not always about the tasks on the list. Sometimes it is the extra preparation before a routine call, the careful rereading after it, and the need to be available long after you are done. We can look at which parts of that pattern help you do your job and which parts only make you more exhausted. CBT offers a way to test the predictions instead of just arguing with yourself about them.

Stress and burnout can sit underneath a week that looks impressively organized. You may keep agreeing to things because saying no feels harder than fitting them in. Then the rest of your time becomes recovery from a schedule you did not really choose. We can practice one honest response, notice the anxiety that follows, and make room to keep the boundary without a long explanation.

Maybe the concern is not work at all. You could be trying to manage panic on GA-400, avoiding a place near I-285, or getting stuck in an OCD checking loop before leaving home. We would start with what happens in your day, not with a guess based on your ZIP code. Exposure or ERP may be useful depending on the pattern; any practice is planned together in manageable steps.

You do not have to make the drive to Alpharetta on a day when getting across the area would use all your energy. Telehealth is available while you are physically in Georgia. If an in-person visit works better for you, the Alpharetta office is there too. Either way, we will talk about what to try between sessions so the work can reach beyond the appointment.

Who this is for

## Grown-ups who look _fine_ and are quietly not.

- ### For the overprepared professional
  You are ready for the meeting, then prepare for every possible way it could go wrong. Let's look at the anxious prediction and choose a smaller way to respond.
- ### For the commuter who dreads the road
  If traffic or a particular stretch of GA-400 brings up panic, we can plan gradual work that respects normal driving safety.
- ### For the person who cannot log off
  You want an evening that does not feel like a second shift of checking and rehearsing. We can practice where to stop.
- ### For the quiet checker
  If OCD turns ordinary tasks into repeated checks, we can discuss ERP and a small first step you help choose.
