Freespira

NYC Cognitive Therapy is now pleased to offer the Freespira Breathing System® to help those who struggle with symptoms of panic disorder and panic attacks.  This FDA-cleared, clinically proven at-home therapy addresses a key physiological component of panic disorder. The System includes a handheld tablet with the Freespira Application (App) and a highly precise sensor. This sensor measures your breathing rate and the level of exhaled carbon dioxide in each breath.  Those with panic disorder may not realize that their breathing is affected all the time, not just when they are having a panic attack.  The Freespira Breathing System teaches you to adjust your breathing rhythm to a normal pattern which will normalize your exhaled CO2 level.  The treatment takes place over a 4 week period and has been demonstrated to be safe and effective in several clinical studies.  Some patients have seen a reduction or elimination of panic symptoms and panic attacks in as little as 2 weeks.

Call us at 347-470-8870 to discuss whether this treatment might be appropriate for you.
