Dr. Lynn E. O'Connor
Therapist, PhD
Working with clients suffering from anxiety, I provide supportive and educational psychotherapy while --in collaboration with my clients-- introducing them to exposure and response prevention methods. I usually encourage clients to obtain a medical evaluation to consider psychotropic medications, such as serotonergic agents. Integrating methods from CBT, the biological sciences, and humanistic perspectives, as a student of Buddhism, I also offer experience with mindfulness meditation and other contemplative approaches in conjunction with self-compassion in accordance with clients' interests.

Lisa Andresen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Is your anxiety productive sometimes? Fears of what others think of you or worrying about letting others down can fuel working long hours, over-preparing, and perfectionist tendencies. However, anxiety can also lead to procrastination, a harsh inner critic, running the tape of past conversations on repeat, over-eating, or troubles sleeping. Sometimes the worries seem endless and the angst leads to physical discomfort, neck/shoulder tension, and stomach pains. Fortunately, research shows CBT can improve anxiety symptoms within 8-12 sessions.

Vanessa Wolter Holistic Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I have extensive experience working with anxiety. I help clients understand that their anxiety is a way they have protected themselves. And once we understand what it’s trying to protect them and why I then offer other ways of supporting the underlying vulnerability that don’t get in the way of moving toward the life they want.

Anxiety Eliminated
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Health Coach, MBA
i have a 95% success rate with healing anxiety. There are key dietary components which must be assessed and, in hypnosis, are very easy to fix. Once the body is stabilized, we go on to identify childhood challenges and traumas that are related to the anxiety. These issues are released by being pulled out by their roots by a specialized combination of releasing and hypnotherapy techniques.

Stephen B. Lewis Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Using hypnosis I help train your mind to direct the power of your imagination towards relaxation instead of worry. The connections from your mind to your body that can cause physically exhausting reactions to irrational fears or phobias can instead be used to calm your mood, relax your body, and clear your mind.

Helen Star, MFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT, SEP
Trauma can live in the body unaddressed for a lifetime. It impacts every aspect of the person’s experience, from health concerns to psychological instability to insecurities in achieving life goals. Working through trauma is the single most important piece in establishing a more harmonious life perspective. Adults often can’t identify the source of their anxieties because it is buried in childhood experience. Or, they know the source, but addressing the impact of trauma has been elusive.
Whether you identify a single traumatic experience in your life or you experience the result through a highly strung nervous system, trauma can be addressed through working with the sensations of the body.
I was originally trained in Somatic Psychotherapy and have over 25 years of working with the language of the body. This is done through mindful observation of the body’s experience in the here and now and through expressive art and movement therapy as well as talking through the event itself. The resolution comes from a place of self-love and resiliency is built by building support in one’s life.

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.
