Anxiety or Fears
Healing and Empowerment Counseling Center
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Teri Dunbar, LCSW
Are you tired of having your past experience or past traumas interfere with your ability to have the life you want? Or are you a parent of a child that has experienced trauma and don’t want that experience to dictate the course of their life?
I help adolescents and young adults that have experienced trauma and are experiencing feelings of shame, anger, detachment, anxiety, and depression, and having a difficult time in their relationships, work, and day to day life. I help them to overcome and cope with such feelings, and empower them to have the life they want through healing from their past traumas.
I specialize in working with individuals that have experienced stressful or dangerous events such as child abuse, domestic violence, the loss of a parent, parents that have struggled with substance abuse or mental illness, or just multiple bad days strung together.
It can be hard to know where to start and almost impossible to start alone. I would love to help guide you through this process. I am only offering virtual therapy at this time. Please send me an email and I follow-up with a phone call to discuss how I may be able to help.

Rachel Ann Dine
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LPC
Worries, anxious thoughts, nervousness, nausea, and difficulty sitting with the uncertainty in life all go into the anxiety that you may feel on a day to day basis. Life events can be incredibly stressful and sometimes our body and brain reacts in a way that is not helpful (and feels difficult to control!). I help women gain mastery over managing anxious thoughts, reducing panic, and finding a balance between logical and emotional thinking. Learn to understand the triggers for anxiety (from where and why they may be occurring) and receive tools that address go into increasing confidence in self to be able to better tame anxiety.

Regina Lazarovich
Psychologist, PhD
I specialize in helping people who struggle with panic attacks, social anxiety, health anxiety, generalized anxiety, and phobias.
Anxiety:
You’ve always been a worrier and it’s helped you set and achieve your goals. Lately though, it’s interfering with your work and personal life. It feels like you spend all your time worrying about your career or health or relationships, and less time enjoying those things.
Anxiety doesn’t always look like worrying, sometimes it can show up as disturbed sleep, stomach problems, or irritability. Some people procrastinate, others overwork. Anxiety can even come in the form of specific phobias: intense fears of objects or situations that make your heart race and your stomach drop.
With Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I’ll teach you skills for working with unhelpful thoughts and behaviors so you can reclaim your life from anxiety and move towards the nourishing connections you crave.
Panic Attacks & Agoraphobia:
You’re feeling anxious, frustrated, and confused by your experience of sudden rushes of fear accompanied by worry that you’re having a heart attack, dying, going insane, losing control, having a nervous breakdown, or fainting. During these episodes your heart feels like it’s about to burst out of your chest, you feel short of breath, your mouth is dry, you may also be sweating, trembling, shaking, nauseous, hot or cold, dizzy, lightheaded, numb or tingly, and feeling detached from yourself or from reality. These episodes of intense fear are called panic attacks.
Your life may have gotten smaller as you have started avoiding or feeling very anxious in situations because you worry that you might have another panic attack and feel trapped, helpless, or embarrassed. For example, you may fear being in open or enclosed spaces, crowded places, standing in line, or using public transit. Avoiding situations from which escape might be difficult or where help may be unavailable is called agoraphobia.
Panic attacks and agoraphobia are symptoms of panic disorder. Panic disorder traps you in a vicious cycle that begins when you believe the accompanying physical sensations are dangerous. Over time, these beliefs place more attention on physical symptoms which triggers more fear, which perpetuates the panic cycle.
With Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I’ll teach you skills for working with thoughts and behaviors so you can break the panic cycle.

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.
