Focus on Anxiety Treatment for Girls

At Evangelhouse Christian Academy, we focus on anxiety in adolescent and teen girls and related issues.  At our therapeutic boarding school, your daughter will be in an environment free from the influences of drugs and alcohol, severe sexual issues, and violence.

Anxiety subsets we treat:

GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) is an anxiety disorder marked by persistent anxiety, increased concern, and tension, even when there is little or no cause for it.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is an anxiety condition marked by recurring, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and/or repetitive activities (compulsions). Hand washing, counting, checking, and cleaning are common repetitive habits conducted in the hopes of preventing or removing obsessive thoughts. However, executing these so-called “rituals” only gives momentary respite, and failing to do so significantly increases anxiety.

Panic Disorder is an anxiety illness marked by sudden and recurring bouts of great terror, as well as physical symptoms such as chest pain, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, or stomach discomfort.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety condition that can develop after being exposed to a traumatic incident or encounter in which significant bodily injury happened or was threatened. Violent personal attacks, natural or human-caused disasters, accidents, or military conflicts are all examples of traumatic events that can lead to PTSD.

Social Anxiety (or Social Anxiety Disorder) is an anxiety disorder characterized by extreme self-consciousness and overwhelming anxiety in normal social interactions. Social phobia can be restricted to a single circumstance – such as a fear of speaking in official or informal settings, or of eating or drinking in front of others – or, in its most extreme form, can manifest itself nearly wherever a person is among other people.

What are the Causes of Teenage Anxiety?

Anxiety is caused by a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological variables, developmental factors, and even personality features, as with other diseases.

Bullying and Interpersonal Conflict Making friends is crucial for surviving school and adolescence’s stress. Many teenagers who have been rejected or bullied by their classmates have negative relationship views and fear they will never fit in. If your kid has been bullied at school, he or she may not feel comfortable talking about it, but it is crucial to watch for indications of despair and loneliness.

Attachment Problems Teens who failed to form healthy relationships as children are more likely to develop social anxiety and a shaky sense of self as a result of peer rejection and family strife.

Events Stress is a natural part of life, but kids who are exposed to several stressful life events or everyday pressures at the same time are more likely to struggle with anxiety. A stressful lifestyle, such as not getting enough sleep or having too much on one’s plate, contributes considerably to the development of anxiety.

High Self-Esteem and Low Self-Expectations Teens who are extremely responsible and perfectionistic, as well as those who are eager to please, avoid disagreement, or have poor assertiveness in general, are more prone to develop anxiety.

Social media is always present in the lives of teenagers. It’s unsurprising that their self-worth and worldview are linked to their replies to social media posts. They find it difficult not to compare their lives and social relationships to what they see on social media.

Therapeutic Boarding School for Anxiety Treatment

At Evangelhouse Christian Academy, we are an ideal environment to help teen girls learn how to overcome the anxiety and trauma of being bullied. Cyberbullying has become a common topic in therapeutic research today. Being bullied online has surpassed bullying as the most common kind of harassment experienced by teen girls in the United States.

Teens can use Snapchat, Instagram, Tik Tok, and Twitter to communicate with one another and other positive identity development uses. That being said, being online can cause a lot of different problems for a variety of reasons. Social media has many positive uses, but its negatives can include low self-esteem due to constant comparison with others, feelings of being “ugly” or not having enough friends, and it also exposes young girls to being bullied online.

While peer pressure isn’t a new problem, being online and using social media apps has elevated it to new heights. Sexting, for example, is a big source of concern for many families. We provide a positive Christian environment where we seek to instill the core values girls today need.

At Evangelhouse, our girls develop character and build their relationship skills. As a result, they are able to act in a mature and responsible manner online when they transition back home. Instead of socializing online with no supervision, girls at Evangelhouse socialize in the therapeutic setting with counselors and other trained staff observing or participating in the conversation.
