WHY THERAPY MATTERS
Anxiety does not always look like panic. Sometimes it looks like productivity, constant preparation, overthinking, or the inability to rest.
For high-achieving adults, anxiety can become hidden behind competence. You may be managing well on the outside while feeling exhausted, tense, or never fully at ease inside.
As an anxiety therapist in San Diego, Dr. Makadia helps clients understand the roots of anxiety, the patterns it creates, and the function it may have served over time. Therapy combines practical tools with deeper insight, helping clients move beyond symptom management.
Common Areas of Support
Finding Support for Anxiety
Anxiety can be visible or hidden. For some people, it appears as worry, tension, panic, or racing thoughts. For others, it looks like high performance, constant planning, perfectionism, or staying busy enough to avoid what feels difficult underneath.
Over time, this can become exhausting. Rest feels unsafe, self-criticism becomes familiar, and even success may not bring relief.
Dr. Makadia provides therapy for anxiety in San Diego for adults who want to understand not only their symptoms, but the deeper patterns driving them. His work supports clients seeking a psychologist for anxiety in California and a more thoughtful approach to lasting change.
