Anxiety Treatment in Plano
Plano runs on a calendar with no empty slots: Legacy West deadlines, school pickups timed to the minute, and evenings triple booked. A traditional psychiatric appointment costs half a day; Collin County's waitlists cost months. Most people here never start, and the load compounds. When worry runs most days for months and starts steering decisions, that is a treatable condition. shrinkMD brings evidence based anxiety treatment to Plano as soon as availability allows, by secure video.

Why shrinkMD
shrinkMD in Plano, on your terms
From West Plano to Murphy, visits happen by video from home or a booked conference room, with the evaluation taking one hour once and follow ups taking 15 to 30 minutes inside a lunch block.
We bill no insurance, so nothing about your care exists in employer adjacent databases, with flat published fees and HSA and FSA funds accepted.
What's included
Anxiety care, done properly
Anxiety is a body event as much as a mind event, racing heart, tight chest, restless gut, thinned sleep, so treatment addresses both. After a full evaluation rules out the imitators, your plan combines what the evidence ranks first: SSRI or SNRI medication where indicated and cognitive behavioral work that interrupts the avoidance cycle keeping the alarm sensitive.
Expect visible movement in your scores within weeks, with follow ups every two to four weeks until the trend is unmistakable, then maintenance spacing. You will have usable tools immediately, and a clinician who tracks results instead of assuming them. We are equally clear about what we will not do: no benzodiazepines, which trade an hour of relief for a stronger long term anxiety.

Frequently asked questions
Good questions, clear answers
Do you see both spouses in a household?
Yes, as separate patients with separate records, and many Plano households start with one adult and add the other.
Can I fit this into a corporate calendar at Legacy?
Yes: one hour once for the evaluation, then 15 to 30 minute follow ups that fit between meetings, by video from anywhere private.
Do you treat panic attacks specifically?
Yes. Panic disorder gets targeted care: medication that lowers the baseline plus breathing and interoceptive skills that take the terror out of the attacks themselves.
Can I do anxiety treatment alongside my current therapist?
Yes, and we encourage it. We handle evaluation and medication, coordinate with your therapist with your permission, and the combination outperforms either alone.
How fast does anxiety treatment start working?
Skills help immediately, and medication typically begins working within two to six weeks. We measure scores at every visit so progress is visible, not guessed.
