Find Anxiety Family Therapists in Nairobi, Kenya

Anxiety treatment is for fear and worry that persist and get in the way. It is not for ordinary nerves.

The treatments with the most evidence are based on cognitive behavioural principles ¹. That includes exposure therapy, where you face what you have been avoiding, a step at a time.

A prescriber may also consider medicine, depending on age and severity ². Ask a practitioner how they work with anxiety.

Everyone on this page describes their work as family or systemic therapy. Family therapy helps people in close relationships understand and support each other ³. It works with the relationships between people, not with one person alone.

Family here means whoever those involved count as family. Sessions usually have more than one person in the room.

A therapist may also meet members on their own ⁴. Ask a practitioner who they would want in the room.
