If you’ve ever experienced a panic attack, you know how frightening it can be. It can make you feel as though you are losing control, having a heart attack, or even dying. Your panic attacks may strike at any time, often without warning.
If you are experiencing regular panic attacks and are in constant fear of having another, you may have Panic Disorder. People with the disorder may also have agoraphobia, which can lead you to avoid those places or situations that make you feel anxious about having another panic attack.
Clearview Women’s Center can help you get your anxiety under control so that you no longer live in fear of having another panic attack. Our intimate, six-bed residential facility and our day treatment program provide environments where you will feel safe and receive the individualized support and treatment that you need, including treatment groups of nine people or fewer.

Upon admission to our residential or day treatment program, you will receive a thorough psychiatric evaluation to determine if anti-anxiety medication or other medications are necessary. Our psychiatrist will meet with you regularly to evaluate your response to medication and make adjustments as needed. You will also receive a comprehensive psychosocial assessment and individualized treatment plan that will help alleviate your symptoms of Panic Disorder.
Our holistic approach to anxiety treatment includes yoga, exercise, and healthy diet and nutrition to treat the body as well as the mind. Therapeutic massage and acupuncture are also available. Our unique location 1 mile from the Pacific Ocean allows you to take advantage of the Southern California weather by participating in outdoor recreational activities and going on calming walks at the beach.
Panic Disorder often co-occurs with other anxiety disorders, depression, substance abuse, and Borderline Personality Disorder. Our experienced team can treat these co-occurring disorders at the same time for a more comprehensive recovery.
