The sessions begin and end on time. You are encouraged to do homework assignments.

Interested persons schedule an initial 45 minute individual appointment to discuss the process and feasibility of their participation. The Real Solution Anxiety/Panic Program is most useful for those willing to honestly examine and recognize the consequences of their anxiety/panic problem.

  • Individual Program: 12 sessions, each lasting 45 minutes.
  • Workbook: designed for use with the Individual program but can be used separately. The Workbook contains all of the Skills and Concepts, exercises, and homework assignments used in The Anxiety/Panic Individual Program.
