Anxiety & Panic Disorders

Anxiety has a way of being hard to put into words. Sometimes it’s a low hum of worry that never quite goes away. Sometimes it’s physical — a tight chest, a racing heart, a sense that something is about to go wrong even when everything looks fine. For some people it builds slowly over time. For others, it arrives all at once, overwhelming and confusing.

Whatever it looks like for you, it’s real, it’s valid, and it’s treatable.

At MindWell Urgent Care, we provide anxiety treatment in with a focus on timely, personalized psychiatric care. Our clinical team is led by Dr. Ashkan Soltan, a board-certified psychiatrist, and is designed to help patients move from uncertainty to clarity as quickly as possible.

We offer in-person appointments near Mockingbird Lane and I-35, convenient to UT Southwestern and the Dallas Medical District, as well as telepsychiatry visits for patients across Texas, Oklahoma, New Jersey, Florida, and Kansas.

Appointments are often available within 24 to 48 hours for new patients.

Anxiety is a medical condition, not something you have to push through.

It’s worth saying clearly: anxiety is not just stress, and it’s not something you should have to manage through willpower alone. It’s a medical condition that affects how you think, feel, and function.

Common symptoms include persistent worry, difficulty relaxing, trouble concentrating, disrupted sleep, and physical symptoms like a racing heart, chest tightness, or shortness of breath. Panic attacks can feel even more intense, often coming on suddenly with dizziness, chest discomfort, or a sense of losing control.

These experiences are common, and they are highly treatable with the right support.

You don’t have to wait until it gets worse.

Most people try to manage anxiety on their own for a long time before reaching out.

You may benefit from treatment if:

• Anxiety is interfering with your daily life
• Symptoms are getting worse over time
• You are experiencing panic attacks
• You are avoiding situations because of anxiety
• You feel stuck or unsure how to move forward

You don’t need to reach a breaking point to get help. Earlier support often leads to better outcomes.

Anxiety can take different forms, and part of treatment is understanding exactly what you are experiencing.

We commonly treat:

• Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
• Panic Disorder and panic attacks
• Social anxiety
• Obsessive-compulsive patterns (OCD)
• Stress-related and situational anxiety

Even if you are not sure where you fit, that’s completely okay. Clarifying that is part of the process.

Every patient begins with a thorough psychiatric evaluation. This is a real conversation, not a checklist. We take time to understand your symptoms, your history, and what may be contributing to how you’re feeling. From there, we build a treatment plan that is specific to you.

Because we are a psychiatric practice, we can consider the full range of treatment options, including medication when appropriate, along with practical strategies to help you manage symptoms day to day.

Medication management
For many people, medication can reduce the intensity of anxiety and create a more stable baseline. The goal is not to numb your experience, but to give you enough space to function and feel like yourself again.

Therapeutic strategies
We incorporate evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques, TMS (coming soon) and practical tools you can use in real situations.

Ongoing monitoring and adjustment
Treatment evolves over time. We track how you’re responding and adjust your plan to improve results and reduce side effects.

Your first appointment is focused on understanding your experience in depth. We talk through your symptoms, your history, and what you’ve already tried. If medication is part of the plan, we will explain your options clearly and outline what follow-up will look like. You will finish your appointment with a clear plan and next steps.

Anxiety treatment is not a one-time visit. 

Follow-up care allows us to monitor progress, adjust treatment, and support you as things improve. Some patients feel better quickly. Others need more time and adjustment. The goal is steady, sustainable progress.

We offer anxiety treatment at our Dallas office and through telepsychiatry. Our location near Mockingbird Lane and I-35 makes us accessible to patients throughout Dallas, including the Medical District and surrounding neighborhoods.

Telepsychiatry visits allow you to receive the same level of care from home, making it easier to stay consistent with treatment. Online visits are available to patients throughout Texas, Oklahoma, New Jersey, Florida, and Kansas with convenient scheduling. 

Many patients come to us after struggling to find timely, thoughtful care.

We offer:

• Appointments often available within 24 to 48 hours
• A thorough, unhurried evaluation
• Clear, practical treatment plans
• Consistent providers who follow your progress over time

If your symptoms feel urgent but not life-threatening, we are here to help you find a solution with a plan that works for your needs.

Anxiety treatment visits are typically covered by insurance. We are in-network with many major providers, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare.

Visit our insurance page for more information and links to specific insurance provider websites. 

Our team can help verify your benefits before your visit. You can also call our office to check your coverage before scheduling.

If you’re looking for anxiety treatment in Dallas or telepsychiatry,  we’re here to help. We’re currently accepting new patients and offer appointments within 24 – 48 hours so you can begin care without unnecessary delays.

If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency or are at risk of harming yourself or others, please call or text 988 or go to your nearest emergency room. MindWell Urgent Care provides urgent psychiatric care but is not a crisis or inpatient facility.
