Anxiety or Fears
Jessica Biles
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R
Living with excessive worry and uncontrollable negative thoughts may impede your functioning during the day and keep you up at night. When anxiety impacts your ability to live comfortably, therapy can help. I work with clients to recognize and target the multiple components of anxiety: physical, cognitive, and behavioral symptoms. Using CBT and concrete coping skills I’m able to help clients to cope with stress, address specific fears, and alter negative self-talk. I also incorporate psychodynamic, insight-oriented interventions, to help clients dive deeper to explore and work through the root of their anxiety. Although anxiety can be overwhelming and debilitating, it’s highly treatable. Together, we can help you work through your worries, and find strategies that help you feel calmer, more at peace, and fulfilled.

Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
I work with both adults and adolescents on an individual basis. Individual psychotherapy helps clients deal with particular issues, symptoms, and stressors. My goal is to provide a safe, non judgmental space for you to explore who you are, how you relate to others, and what supports you on your journey to become your best self. I lean into, listen, understand, and enhance authentic expression. Together we create a collaborative process of transformation. What that means and what that looks like is different for everyone...
I offer evidence-based therapies from a curious, nonjudgmental philosophy. No matter where you have been, evidence-based therapies focus on changing the now. I strive to help my clients experience the world mindfully, and in accordance with their personal values. Through our work in cultivating an affirming, authentic, and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship, I provide support while we collaboratively deconstruct what is causing distress in your life and preventing you from being your most effective and authentic self. Individual therapy facilitates insight and growth, becoming more effective at actualizing your values, and building more authentic relationships with yourself and with others.
While there are many forms of therapy you can pursue, my expertise is in time-limited, evidence-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT), the Unified Protocol for emotional disorders, and third wave CBT such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness based interventions. (I do have experience in, and practice, an eclectic arrangement of other modalities as well-- when applicable or specifically requested.) We explore thoughts, beliefs, and understanding, while also prioritizing behavioral processes that focus on your contexts and the functions of how you relate to your internal experiences. CBT is designed to help individuals notice and shift their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to get relief from painful emotions such as anxiety and sadness.
Third wave interventions also promote well-being through developing coping skills, personal values, and metacognition that complement traditional CBT interventions. I provide flexible, customizable approaches that look different with each patient. I empower my clients to discover their strength, clarity, creativity, autonomy, resilience, motivation, and confidence in meeting whatever happens next. I provide individualized tools to use in everyday decision-making that will help those changes last. With these modalities I treat individuals who are impacted by depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship distress, burnout, divorce, loss, uncertainty, stigma, and other life experiences, diagnoses, and stressors. We explore the sources, experiences, and beliefs that impact how you relate with the world and implement change in your life. You are the expert on you, but are you your most effective and content self?

Liz Kauffelt
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC
Did you know 40% of adults have diagnosable anxiety? This is something so many of us are dealing with, and I enjoy helping people understand what anxiety is, and how they can manage these emotions. This might include discussions about health, teaching specific coping mechanisms (ex: grounding techniques), or using psychoeducation.

Stephanie Marks
Hypnotherapist, MA
Have you struggled with anxiety/depression, unreasonable or mysterious fears or sadness? In stressful situations do you tense your body and find it hard to relax? Do you feel disappointed in the life that you have and feel that it is not the life you desired or expected to have? Fears and Anxieties can take hold of our lives and make us feel stuck and unable to see beyond them. Contrary to popular understanding, anxiety is not a feeling, but rather a defense we use when feelings overwhelm us, resulting in a reaction of anxiety that takes over. Sometimes these are thoughts and feelings are experienced as forbidden to enter our conscious mind and the anxiety reaction dominates instead. In our work together, we will explore these limiting patterns of thinking and feeling and in order to free up more space to live a fuller life without these constraints.

Anxiety or Fears
Dr. Paige Hover
Psychologist, PsyD
Anxiety can really be disruptive, making it hard to sleep, hard to eat, hard to focus, etc. Sometimes the worry can get out of hand and make you avoid things or impact your relationships with others and feel all consuming. Anxiety is tricky too because it can sometimes feel helpful, especially for a perfectionist who did well in school or is recognized for their dedication at work. Together we can better understand what you are anxious about. I can teach you how to deal with anxiety based on a deeper understanding of yourself for more successful long term mental health management.

Kathryn Sedgwick
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
This is a profoundly unsettling time. In my practice I encourage the use of somatic techniques, such as yoga and mindfulness meditation, to replace what are often self-destructive patterns (typically substance use) clients use in response to their anxiety and fear. We also try to get at whatever the root causes of the anxious fear may be and deal with those.
