What it is
Anxiety is your body’s alarm system stuck in the “on” position. For many people it doesn’t look like worry. It looks like irritability, restlessness, trouble sleeping, or needing to control everything.
Generalized anxiety, panic attacks, and social or performance anxiety are all common, and all very treatable.
Common signs
- Racing thoughts, especially at night
- Constant tension in your neck, jaw, or shoulders
- Irritable or on edge for no clear reason
- Pounding heart before meetings or hard conversations
- Avoiding things you used to handle fine
- Using alcohol, nicotine, or screens to take the edge off
How Corbin helps
Corbin Hatch, APRN, PMHNP-BC, is a psychiatric nurse practitioner who sees adults by secure video anywhere in Utah. It starts with a full psychiatric evaluation: what’s driving the anxiety, how it’s affecting sleep, work, and home, and what you’ve already tried.
From there you build a plan together. That may include practical skills to settle your nervous system, sleep improvements, a therapy referral, and medication when it makes sense, starting with non-habit-forming options. Short follow-ups let you fine-tune as you go.
Insurance or cash pay: In network through Headway with Regence BlueCross BlueShield, Aetna, Cigna, Carelon Behavioral Health, and Curative (more plans coming soon). Book with insurance on Headway. Cash pay is $300 for the initial evaluation (about 60 minutes) and $150 for follow-ups (about 20 minutes), with a superbill on request. All visits are by secure video for adults located in Utah.
FAQ
Is anxiety medication habit-forming?
Most first-line anxiety medications are not, so we start with non-habit-forming options and skills that hold up over the long haul. Controlled medications may be considered when clinically appropriate, with a check of Utah’s prescription monitoring database (PDMP) and a controlled-substance agreement, but no specific medication is guaranteed.
How fast will I feel better?
Many people notice a difference within a few weeks of starting a plan. Follow-ups, about 20 minutes each, let you adjust as you go.
Do I need therapy too?
Not always, but therapy and medication together often work best for anxiety. Corbin can point you to good therapists if you want one.
Can I do visits from work?
Yes, as long as you’re somewhere private and physically located in Utah.
