Anxiety care for Union Park residents with therapy and psychiatry options. Support for generalized anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, and overwhelm — in-person or telehealth.
Union Park is a diverse east Orlando community situated near the 408 expressway, where affordable housing and proximity to major employment centers attract a broad cross-section of residents. Life in Union Park comes with practical stressors: long commutes, financial pressures, and the challenges of navigating a community that does not always receive the same investment in services as more affluent neighborhoods. These stressors create fertile ground for anxiety disorders to develop and persist.
Empathy Health Clinic serves Union Park residents through telehealth and in-person visits at our Winter Park office. We treat generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, panic disorder, and health anxiety, and we are committed to making treatment accessible regardless of your circumstances.
Therapy and psychiatry options
Effective anxiety therapy starts with understanding your real-world context. For Union Park residents, our therapists address the anxiety that comes from financial uncertainty, the stress of commuting on the 408 or Colonial Drive, the challenge of finding mental health care in an area with limited options, and the cultural factors that may influence how you experience and express distress.
Medication management is available for patients whose symptoms are severe or who want to complement therapy with pharmaceutical support. We prescribe SSRIs, SNRIs, buspirone, and hydroxyzine. We do not prescribe benzodiazepines. Our psychiatrists explain every option clearly, including cost considerations and generic alternatives, because we believe that understanding your treatment is essential to benefiting from it.
Panic disorder and overwhelm support
Panic attacks can be especially frightening when you do not have a clear understanding of what is happening or ready access to care. Many Union Park residents have experienced panic symptoms and either attributed them to a heart condition or tried to power through without help. Neither approach addresses the underlying disorder, and both allow panic to strengthen its grip.
We provide straightforward, effective treatment for panic disorder. You learn the biology of the fight-or-flight response, why your body produces these intense sensations, and how to respond to them without fear. Exposure exercises help you tolerate panic sensations until they lose their charge. When medication is appropriate, we add it to reduce attack frequency and overall anxiety. Our goal is to give you tools that work in your actual life, whether you are at home, at work, or on the road.
Telehealth availability
Union Park is located in east Orlando, and our Winter Park office is accessible via the 408 West to I-4 North, a drive of approximately twenty minutes. Telehealth removes the commute entirely and allows you to attend appointments from any private location with internet access.
We offer comprehensive anxiety treatment over telehealth, including psychiatric evaluations, individual therapy, and medication management. For Union Park residents who work irregular hours or have limited transportation, telehealth ensures that these barriers do not prevent you from getting the care you need. We also work to keep wait times short, because when anxiety is escalating, waiting weeks for an appointment is not acceptable.
