Needing medication doesn’t mean you’ve failed—it means you’re human. 💙

In this reel, Light On Anxiety Nurse Practitioner Valery Benson, PMHNP-BC shares an important reminder:
Taking psychiatric medication is no different than needing glasses to see clearly.

Medication can help ease the symptoms that make daily life feel overwhelming—and it often helps you get even more out of therapy. It’s not a shortcut or a crutch. It’s a tool. One that many people benefit from, and one that’s worth talking about without shame.

Taking care of your mental health is an act of strength.

How We Work

Our mission is to decrease the pain and suffering associated with untreated anxiety disorders.

We offer CBT based treatment to children, adolescents and adults with a focus on anxiety and stress-related disorders, including OCD, PTSD, panic disorder, agoraphobia, social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, specific phobias, separation anxiety disorder, compulsive skin picking, and trichotillomania. We apply the principles of evidence-based treatments, while at the same time treating the whole person, with deep respect for the human spirit and the challenges we all face on our journey through life. We strive to make our clients their own anxiety coaches and to keep treatment as short-term as possible. There is nothing we appreciate more than when clients arrive at a place where they they no longer need external assistance to manage their anxiety symptoms. We often states to our clients, “We strive to become unnecessary in your life.”

Light on Anxiety CBT Treatment Centers offer accessible, effective, practical treatment for anxiety and related disorders. We strive to quickly get you in and out and back to your life.
