What We Offer
Anxiety is more than occasional worry or stress—it is a persistent mental health condition that can interfere with daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. Individuals living with anxiety may experience overwhelming fear, tension, or nervousness that is difficult to control, even when there is no immediate threat. Without proper support, anxiety can limit one’s ability to function at work, at home, or socially, creating a cycle of stress that is difficult to break.
At Montgomery Behavioral Health, we offer a comprehensive residential program for adults living with anxiety and co-occurring mental health conditions. Our approach combines evidence-based therapies, holistic treatments, experiential activities, and a supportive community to help clients manage symptoms, regain control, and cultivate long-term wellness.
Recover With Community
Montgomery Behavioral Health offers a uniquely comprehensive program for adults living with anxiety. Clients choose our program because we provide:
We understand that anxiety is not a weakness—it is a condition that requires understanding, skill-building, and ongoing support. Our program is designed to help individuals regain control of their lives, reduce the impact of symptoms, and cultivate long-term emotional wellness.
Why Choose Us
Anxiety manifests in many forms, ranging from generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and panic disorder to social anxiety and obsessive-compulsive tendencies. Symptoms can vary in intensity and frequency but often interfere with everyday functioning.
Anxiety often manifests physically as the body responds to perceived threats:
Anxiety can also co-occur with depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, personality disorders, schizophrenia spectrum disorders, and body image concerns. Our program addresses these overlapping challenges, offering integrated care to treat the whole person, not just symptoms.
We accept most major insurance companies.
What We Offer
Effective anxiety treatment involves a multi-faceted approach that combines therapy, lifestyle strategies, medication management, and skill-building to help individuals respond to anxiety more effectively. At Montgomery Behavioral Health, we emphasize personalized care that meets clients where they are while promoting growth, resilience, and coping skills.
Our residential program provides a safe, structured, and supportive environment for adults ages 18 and older. Clients benefit from individualized care, consistent therapeutic support, and a community of peers who are navigating similar challenges. Residential care allows clients to step away from stressors, focus on their mental health, and participate fully in treatment.
Each client receives weekly individual therapy sessions with a licensed clinician. These sessions focus on:
Understanding the triggers and patterns of anxiety
Identifying and restructuring unhelpful thought processes
Processing trauma or past experiences that contribute to anxiety
Developing practical coping skills for real-world situations
We primarily utilize compassion-focused therapy, which helps clients approach themselves with kindness and understanding. Anxiety is often accompanied by self-criticism, and this approach encourages clients to manage fear without judgment.
Group therapy provides opportunities for connection, shared experience, and insight. Our core-based processing groups are dynamic and evolving, ensuring clients do not repeat the same material week after week. Group topics include:
Family of origin and relational patterns
Identity and self-concept
Life milestones and core experiences
Trauma processing
Groups are scheduled for one to two hours and may extend over multiple sessions, providing a structured space to explore emotions, practice coping skills, and build resilience.
Montgomery Behavioral Health integrates proven therapeutic modalities, including:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and challenge anxious thoughts
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotional regulation and distress tolerance
Mindfulness-based practices to cultivate awareness and reduce rumination
These therapies equip clients with tools to manage anxiety in real-time and promote long-term emotional stability.
For clients who benefit from psychiatric medication, MAT is integrated into a comprehensive treatment plan. Medications are carefully monitored to support symptom relief, reduce physiological responses to anxiety, and complement therapeutic work.
Community + Growth
Recovery from anxiety involves gradually building confidence and comfort in real-world settings. Montgomery Behavioral Health incorporates structured community outings and activities to help clients practice coping skills, socialize, and re-engage with the world safely. Outings may include:
These opportunities foster resilience, reduce avoidance behaviors, and help clients apply skills learned in therapy to everyday life.
