“Can psychotherapy fix my panic attacks?”

Indeed, cognitive behavioral therapy, a form of psychological treatment, can help people manage panic attacks. By learning how to manage and control thought, feelings, and behaviors, you can learn to manage the onset of panic attacks to reduce their occurrence, and if they happen you can learn how to move through a situation and cope more effectively, overall.

 Sorry to know that you are suffering from panic attacks.  It is probably better not to think in terms of someone "fixing" them.  Psychotherapy will help you overcome panic attacks by helping you get to the roots of what is causing them and finding solutions. While you are searching for a licensed Psychologist in your area you may want to start reading "Anxiety and Phobia Workbook" and start meditating. Meditation helps you relax and calms your mind. Take care and stay safe.

Yes, find a therapist who specializes in anxiety and panic. Someone who is trained to use evidence based treatments, such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy
