Anxiety Treatment at Well-Rooted Pediatrics
Supporting Your Child’s Mental Health with Compassion and Care

At Well-Rooted Pediatrics, we understand that childhood anxiety can be challenging for both children and their families. Just like adults, children can experience anxiety symptoms that significantly impact their daily lives. These symptoms may include excessive worry, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, difficulty breathing, excessive sweating, shaking, and nausea. The good news is that anxiety is treatable, and early intervention can help children manage and even overcome these challenges.

Understanding Anxiety in Children

Anxiety in children can manifest in many different ways, and every child experiences anxiety uniquely. Common signs of anxiety in children include:

  • Excessive worry or fear about everyday situations
  • Trouble concentrating or difficulty focusing on tasks
  • Physical symptoms such as dizziness, sweating, or stomachaches
  • Avoidance of specific situations or places
  • Difficulty sleeping due to racing thoughts or worry

At Well-Rooted Pediatrics, we take the time to understand the root of your child’s anxiety. Whether it’s triggered by social situations, school stress, or other factors, we listen to both the child and the parents to better understand the extent of the anxiety.

Our Approach to Treating Anxiety

We take a holistic, integrative approach to treating childhood anxiety, focusing on the root cause rather than just masking symptoms. Our goal is to teach your child various techniques and strategies to cope with stress and anxiety in a healthy, sustainable way.

Holistic Strategies for Managing Anxiety

  • Diet & Lifestyle Recommendations: We work with families to address dietary choices and lifestyle habits that can help reduce stress and support a balanced nervous system.
  • Vitamins & Supplements: We use targeted supplements to help boost the nervous system and manage anxiety naturally.
  • Stress-Reduction Techniques: We teach children relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, mindfulness, and progressive muscle relaxation to help manage symptoms.
  • Behavioral Strategies: Cognitive-behavioral strategies can also be integrated to help children challenge negative thought patterns and reduce anxious behaviors.

Medication for Anxiety

While we emphasize natural methods of treatment, we also understand that some children may require medication to manage anxiety effectively. If necessary, we can prescribe medications that help alleviate anxiety and enable your child to feel more in control of their emotions and actions. We always work closely with you to determine the best course of action for your child’s unique needs.

Long-Term Support

For many children, anxiety may subside as they age. However, anxiety can persist throughout life, and early intervention is crucial in teaching children how to manage their symptoms long-term. At Well-Rooted Pediatrics, we work with families on a regular basis to monitor progress, adjust treatment plans as needed, and provide ongoing support to ensure the best possible outcomes.

I recently moved here from out of state and have been having a very hard time finding providers in the area for my kids. After a long search, I found Well Rooted and am so happy I did. Excellent providers who truly care, who listen to the parents and child and are very knowledgeable. It is worth the drive and the cost.
