Anxiety Treatment in Connecticut

Compassionate Support from Suzanne Gallagher, PMHNP

Living with anxiety can feel exhausting and isolating—but help is available, and healing is possible. Whether you’re experiencing panic attacks, constant worry, or seeking medication support, you don’t have to go through it alone.

I’m Suzanne Gallagher, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) based in Connecticut, with offices in New Canaan and Darien. I offer personalized anxiety treatment through in-person and telehealth appointments across CT, serving areas like Greenwich, Westport, Stamford, and Norwalk. My approach helps you feel calmer, clearer, and more in control—through therapy, medication management, or both.

What Is Anxiety?

Anxiety is a natural stress response, but when it disrupts your relationships, work, or daily life, it may signal an anxiety disorder.

Over 40 million adults in the U.S. experience anxiety each year. In Connecticut, many people seek effective anxiety therapy to reclaim their lives.
