Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and medication are first-line treatments.
Usually the first line would be a combination of medication and cognitive-behavioral therapy. You may want to consult your physician and look on psychologytoday.com or topdocs to find someone in your area who specializes in CBT for anxiety. I hope this helps! Dr. Nolan
