Anxiety or Fears
Denver Wellness Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Here at Denver Wellness Counseling we specialize in the treatment of trauma (unprocessed fear-based memories), anxiety, panic, and related disorders.
As one of the most common reasons for seeking therapy, anxiety can be rather complex and "sticky" as a symptom, requiring a thoughtful and educated approach. Anxiety is also a big, umbrella term, and thus it is often helpful to begin treatment by increasing awareness about one's unique anxiety, including its origins, how and why it developed or increased over time, and most importantly, how the anxiety is trying to "help." Despite the major discomfort of anxiety, it often feels like it has a job (or 2) and thus will be resistant to initial, simple attempts to soothe it.
Once the anxiety is understood, we can explore past and present events that contribute to the function of anxiety, and consider a healing modality, such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and/or parts-work, to relieve the core fears that contribute to the anxiety and it's "role" of self-protection. Often the process of anxiety treatment includes the work of unburdening a younger version of ourself with an unfair role it had to play for protection, safety, or to receive/maintain love (ex. perfectionism, people pleasing, codependency, etc).
EMDR for anxiety can target the source of anxiety from past, present, or future situations. We also offer advanced EMDR techniques and approaches for panic attacks or specific phobias.

Victoria Bresee
Hypnotherapist, MA, MAR, CHt
While being stressed is time limited or situational, like preparing for an exam or wedding for a few months, anxiety is more generalized and pervasive, like it's always with us, a way of life. We may remember being anxious as children or how anxious a parent was. For ancient survival, the more primitive part of our brain is constantly scanning for danger, so it has a bias to look for the negative. Neuropsychologist Rick Hanson says that our brains are like Velcro for the negative and Teflon for the positive. With mind/brain tools, CBT and hypnotic visualizations, you can free youself and enjoy a lightness of being you never thought possible. Have exam anxiety, fear of flying, or phobias? Hypnosis does wonders! Time to enjoy life.

Naya Clinics Denver
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselors
Anxiety is a state of feeling afraid of a future, unknown, or ambiguous threat. It is often characterized by certain physiological symptoms, along with doubt concerning the nature of the threat and our ability to handle it. Some anxiety is a normal part of life. In fact, it is necessary for our survival and peak performance. After all, the anxiety you feel before an interview or a performance can motivate you to be prepared, vigilant, and focused. However, if anxiety persists beyond the threat or challenge, it begins to lose its benefits. An unhealthy level of anxiety can paralyze you and leave you unable to function in the most basic tasks. If your anxiety is persisting and getting worse, this could qualify as an anxiety disorder, and you should consider counseling for anxiety.

Dr. Robert Nemerovski
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Racing pulse? Sweaty palms? Tight chest? Shortness of breath? Difficulty thinking clearly? Feeling “anxiety”?
These are some of the most common signs of anxiety, a normal human emotional and physical state that serves to signal us that something important is going on. Anxiety can signal something good, such as our excitement before we see a long lost friend. It can also signal something potentially bad, such as when we imagine making a blundering error just before we start a presentation.
A little anxiety keeps us alert, such as when we are about to cross the street and our anxiety signals us to be cautious and check for traffic before stepping off the curb. A lot of anxiety can distract us, make us physically uncomfortable, steal our sleep, lead us to avoid important activities in life, and even increase our risk for stroke, heart attack, and other serious illness.
I help clients decrease their suffering from excessive anxiety by working on several fronts: reducing uncomfortable symptoms by increasing coping and relaxation skills; examining and changing anxiety-provoking ways of thinking; and getting to the root causes of the anxiety in order to minimize recurrences and develop mastery over excessive anxiety.

Anxiety is often debilitating in the way that it impacts both the mind and body. With anxiety, acknowledging the mind body link is necessary to understanding how both are impacted by anxiety. The ultimate goals is to manage emotions and thoughts "in the moment" while utilizing healthy coping and mindfulness skills.

Camille Larsen
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LAC
Anxiety is a very common issue and often what shows up when we avoid fully experiencing our emotions, and then in response to the anxiety we often perform some sort of mental, emotional, or behavioral defense. Much of the work with anxiety involves experiencing emotions fully - with help and at a pace that your nervous system can work with.
