Anxiety treatment in Chicago
Anxiety can affect sleep, concentration, relationships, work, and everyday functioning. When worry, fear, panic, or avoidance becomes persistent or difficult to manage, an evaluation can help determine what may be contributing and what treatment may be appropriate.
Renovare Chicago provides personalized anxiety evaluation, psychiatric medication management, and eligible telehealth care for adults.

Who it’s for
When to consider care
Occasional anxiety is a normal part of life. Anxiety disorders involve more persistent fear or worry that may worsen over time and interfere with daily activities. (National Institute of Mental Health)
An evaluation may be helpful when you experience concerns such as:
- Persistent or excessive worry
- Feeling nervous or on edge
- Panic or sudden intense fear
- Restlessness
- Difficulty concentrating
- Sleep problems
- Avoiding certain situations
- Physical symptoms associated with anxiety
- Anxiety that interferes with work, relationships, or daily life
Anxiety does not look the same for everyone. Some people primarily experience ongoing worry, while others experience panic attacks, social fears, or avoidance.
New, severe, or unexplained physical symptoms should not automatically be assumed to be anxiety.
How it works
Treatment options
Psychotherapy & coping strategies
Evidence-based psychotherapy and practical strategies may help patients understand and manage anxiety symptoms.
Medication management
Medication may be considered when clinically appropriate, with ongoing monitoring of response and side effects.
Coordinated care
Additional medical evaluation, therapy referral, or coordination with another healthcare professional may be recommended.
Psychotherapy, medication, or a combination of the two are commonly used to treat anxiety disorders, with the appropriate plan depending on the individual’s needs and medical situation. (National Institute of Mental Health)

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I should seek treatment for anxiety?
Consider an evaluation when worry, fear, panic, avoidance, or related symptoms persist or begin interfering with everyday functioning.
Does anxiety treatment always involve medication?
No. Treatment may include psychotherapy, medication, supportive strategies, or a combination depending on the individual. (National Institute of Mental Health)
Does Renovare prescribe anxiety medication?
Medication may be prescribed when clinically appropriate. A specific medication or controlled medication is not guaranteed.
Can anxiety treatment be provided through telehealth?
Many evaluations and follow-up visits may be completed virtually when appropriate. Some situations require in-person care.
Can anxiety cause physical symptoms?
Yes. Anxiety and panic can cause physical symptoms, but new, severe, or unexplained symptoms should receive medical evaluation. (National Institute of Mental Health)
Can anxiety and ADHD occur together?
Yes. Symptoms may overlap, and more than one condition can sometimes be present. The evaluation considers the broader clinical picture rather than assuming concentration problems have one cause.
Insurance and Payment
Renovare accepts most major insurance plans, including Medicare and Illinois Medicaid, along with many commercial and managed-care plans. Coverage depends on the patient’s specific plan and requested service. Insurance verification does not guarantee payment.
Request an anxiety evaluation
If worry, fear, panic, or anxiety is interfering with your work, relationships, sleep, or everyday life, an evaluation can help clarify what may be happening and what treatment options may be appropriate.
You do not need to know your diagnosis or preferred treatment before scheduling.
Submitting an appointment request does not establish a patient-provider relationship or guarantee diagnosis, medication, treatment, or insurance coverage.
Not an emergency service. For an immediate medical or psychiatric emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
