Anxiety Therapy in Hollywood, CA

I actually wrote a blog post about the most effective treatment for anxiety. The most effective treatment addresses the nervous system — not just thoughts. While cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and medication can reduce symptoms, somatic therapy and nervous system regulation work at the root by helping the body feel safe. When the body learns safety, anxiety naturally decreases.

Most clients begin noticing meaningful shifts within 90 days of consistent nervous system work. Significant improvement often happens within 2–6 months, depending on trauma history and how long anxiety has been present. Full remission is possible with the right approach.

Yes. Somatic therapy is grounded in neuroscience and trauma research, and every major psychotherapy includes a somatic component, even CBT. It focuses on how the nervous system stores fear responses in the body. By working with physical sensations and regulation techniques, somatic therapy helps rewire the stress response at its source.

Yes. Anxiety is not a permanent condition. When the nervous system learns to regulate and no longer interprets everyday stress as danger, panic and chronic anxiety can fully resolve. Many clients experience a panic-free life after consistent somatic therapy.

Anxiety therapy at Katie Hargreaves Therapy focuses on women who appear successful externally but feel internally overwhelmed. The approach integrates somatic therapy, nervous system regulation, trauma-informed care, and practical lifestyle alignment — not just thought work.

Medication can be helpful when anxiety is severe enough to impair functioning. It can stabilize symptoms so deeper therapy work becomes possible. However, medication alone does not teach the nervous system safety. Many clients use medication temporarily while building long-term regulation skills.

All therapy is conducted via telehealth for clients in California. I use HIPAA compliant version of Zoom.

I am out of network with all insurances.

You may have out-of-network benefits, which means that they will support the cost of our services.

I have partnered with Thrizer, a payment application that handles this process automatically for you so you can pay only what you truly owe for our sessions. Additionally, I can provide superbills and accept HSA/FSA cards.

The cost of sessions are $250 for a 75-minute session.

Yes! I can see clients living anywhere in California. This is the beauty of telehealth. My clients have been in therapy while in Thousand Oaks, Beverly Hills, La Brea, San Francisco, and San Diego to mention a few.

If you are located outside of California or North Carolina, I encourage you to look for someone licensed in your state.
