How Can Anxiety Be Treated?

My grandson, Alex Parrott would like to schedule an apt to see Dr. Buser. He is currently working a full time job and also finishing up with his masters degree. He has been diagnosed with anxiety and wishes to see someone asap. He is currently working out of state but will return home this weekend. I do hope you can help us. Thank You, Jo Alexander
