Anxiety or Fears
Eric van der Voort
Psychologist, PsyD, CST, CSWT
Anxiety is a normal and adaptive emotion we all experience from time to time. However, persistent generalized worry should not be written off as part of a healthy human experience. Problematic anxiety can affect your work and school performance, prevent you from connecting with loved ones, have you imagining all the awful “what-if” scenarios, and leave you second-guessing yourself. Anxiety can also make you irritable, disrupt your sleep, and even take a physical toll on you over time. Physical symptoms, such as a racing heart, sweaty palms, or tightness in the chest are common. At its worst, some people experience debilitating panic attacks.
If you have been struggling with anxiety, the good news is that it can be treated with evidence-based therapies. Imagine going to that social event, your job, or school, and not being consumed with fear or apprehension. What if you could be comfortable in your own skin? I’d say that’s a “what if” scenario worth thinking about.

Matthew Kijak, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Anxiety can be like a heavy fog, clouding our vision and weighing us down. But, as a therapist, I believe that together we can navigate through this fog and find the path to inner peace. By delving into the root causes of your anxiety and exploring practical strategies, we can work collaboratively to find a sense of calm amidst the chaos. Together, drawing from the wisdom of Eastern philosophy, mindfulness practices, and ancient stoic principles, we can explore new ways to calm the mind and the soul. This journey towards inner peace and self-discovery is something we'll undertake together, as equals, walking side by side.

Some say anxiety is living in the future, while depression is living in the past. Some say a little anxiety is healthy, and without it we would have a difficult time being productive. What about when the anxiety is so intense that it rules your life? From the moment you wake until the moment you go to bed, and then you cannot sleep, because, still, it persists. Call or email me today to see how we can work together to bring down the level of anxiety to one that is manageable for you.

Daniel Lazar
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, MA, MBA
Many men don't like to admit they're stressed or scared. So they hold it in until the feelings become too much to handle. They may tumble into depression, substance abuse, and impulsivity. I help men stop that slide. We explore their relationship with stress and fear, suss out their triggers, and tailor ways to manage these feelings with tools and insights.

Tilley Fine
Life Coach, Certified Conscious Parent Coach CPMCP™, Clinical Certification for Stress, Anxiety and Self-Regulation
I have suffered from debilitating anxiety in the past, so much so that I normalized it. If you are feeling stressed, anxious or depressed and on the hamster wheel of life where we 'push through' to get through the day, you are most likely stuck in a pattern that is stored in your body.
At my practice, I'm driven by a profound purpose to guide you into healing at the deepest level by allowing you to become your own agent of change. This begins with understanding your patterns and why you are stuck in these cycles. Then, by establishing safety, you can begin to heal.
I offer a unique blend of traditional coaching and therapy merged with spiritual, scientific, and practical methodologies. I firmly believe that anxiety, depression, health ailments, digestion issues, and sleep disturbances can be effectively addressed through somatic practices, starting with the nervous system.

Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, MSW, ASW, PPSC
In my practice, understanding and addressing anxiety and fears involves a holistic approach that recognizes these experiences as deeply intertwined with the nervous system's response to both past and present traumas. This perspective acknowledges that anxiety often signals unresolved issues demanding attention, guiding us towards a journey of healing and connection with our authentic selves.
Central to our therapeutic work is the regulation of the nervous system, a critical step in creating a foundation for processing traumas and alleviating the physical and emotional manifestations of anxiety. By fostering a state of calm and safety within the body, we open pathways for individuals to explore the deeper sources of their anxiety and fears, which often stem from unprocessed traumas and the disconnection from their true selves.
Together, we embark on a process of gently uncovering and working through these traumas, aiming to understand their impact and integrate these experiences in a way that promotes healing and resilience. This journey is not just about managing symptoms but about transforming the relationship with anxiety and fear, viewing these emotions as part of a larger narrative of self-discovery and personal growth.
By re-establishing a connection to the authentic self, individuals are empowered to navigate their lives with a renewed sense of clarity, purpose, and inner strength. This reconnection also facilitates a deeper understanding of one's needs, desires, and boundaries, leading to more fulfilling relationships and a life that truly reflects one's values and aspirations.
Through this compassionate and depth-oriented approach, anxiety and fears are transformed from overwhelming challenges into opportunities for profound healing and self-realization, paving the way for a life lived with greater peace, authenticity, and empowerment.
