Marriage and Family Therapist, M.S., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Anxiety, a persistent state of worry, can consume our thoughts with irrational or unlikely events. However, anxiety is not simply a "mood disorder." It is a complex interplay of biology, psychology, and society. This is where psychotherapy comes into play, creating a compassionate and understanding environment to alleviate worries and stresses. Trust me, leaving anxiety untreated is not an option.
Anxiety takes various forms: generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and specific phobias. Regardless of its appearance, anxiety significantly impacts our daily lives and relationships.
Through therapy, we will collaborate to uncover the underlying causes of your anxiety and develop personalized coping strategies. We will explore relaxation techniques, challenge negative thoughts, and address any past traumas or triggers. And you know what? We will also delve into the importance of setting healthy boundaries. Boundaries are crucial for positive relationships and mental well-being, yet many of us struggle due to past experiences or societal pressures.
Together, we will understand and embrace our personal boundaries while learning how to effectively communicate them. Trust me, this process can work wonders, reducing anxiety and enhancing overall well-being. Let's embark on this journey together!

Altagracia "Grace" Akopyan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #145795
Have you ever felt as if you had a mental block? This block prevents you from moving forward, thinking about something else and most of all changing your emotions. When someone gets in a negative downward spiral and find it very difficult to get out of it is probably because you don’t know how to. This might sound crazy, but most people who suffer with anxiety and depression start out in this same mental state that I just described. As a california marriage and family therapist and professor, I teach psychotherapists how to help clients who are in this exact mental state. There’s a cognitive behavioral therapeutic approach known as CBT that touches on something called distortions. The best way that I can explain the distortions is by having you think of those disgusting negative messages that replays in your head. This message often makes you feel horrible, worthless, stuck and like there’s no point. CBT allows you to take back control of those distortions in order to help you change your mindset to reduce or get rid of that anxiety. Feel free to schedule a session with me to see if I will be a good fit for you.

Stella Zweben Samuel, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
As a clinician who specializes in working with teenagers, young adults, and college students who struggle with anxiety I have many methods I use to address the anxiety. It is extremely important to understand how anxiety has impacted my client's life. I spend time listening and provide a warm, supportive environment for the client to share his/her anxiety symptoms. Understanding how someone experiences anxiety helps me as a clinician to individualize the approach to helping alleviate the stress from the anxiety.

David Eshleman
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Anxiety and fear are some of the most common issues that many of us struggle with and can be some of the most unrecognized. Chronic stress and anxiety can go undiagnosed and can manifest in physical ailments. Not only does chronic anxiety reduce the body's immune system causing one to get sick more often, but it leads to an overall impediment to life. The paralysis of fear can prevent us from moving in the direction of our life goals, and the uncertainties that lead to anxiety can rob us of enjoying our life in the moment. I specialize in helping individuals to explore and understand these fears, find solutions and tools, reprocess the underlying emotions, and to start to live a life with less fear and more health, hope, wellness and happiness.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychoanalyst
Anxiety often stems from unconscious thoughts and past attachment experiences that can influence the present.
Through our collaborative work, we'll gently explore these unconscious patterns. This involves examining how early relationships and past experiences may be contributing to your current anxieties. By bringing these unconscious dynamics to light, you can gain a deeper understanding of your triggers and develop more effective coping mechanisms.
