Anxiety or Fears
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.

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.

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.

Kelly Norris Counseling & Psychotherapy, LLC
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPC, CCTP-II
Anxiety is a natural human emotion. It is necessary to our survival. It is what motivates and energizes us to get out of bed in the morning, to take care of daily tasks, to live by our values and work toward our goals.
However, when anxiety is too intense or frequent, it can actually get in the way of these things and disrupt your life. You can become overwhelmed by the anxiety or feel as though it has taken control of your life. It can seem all-encompassing.
I work with individuals toward helping them gain a better understanding of their anxiety, develop coping skills, reduce overall anxiety, and take back control of their lives.

Jerleen Sinkes
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
When it comes to anxiety, my approach is all about gentle exploration and building tools for resilience. I understand how overwhelming and consuming anxiety can feel, like a constant hum in the background of your life. In our sessions, we'll create a calm, safe space where you can share your experiences without fear. Together, we'll delve into the patterns and triggers of your anxiety, not to simply quiet them, but to understand their messages. I'll guide you through techniques to ground yourself in moments of high anxiety, focusing on mindfulness, breathing exercises, and cognitive strategies that empower you to face your fears with a new perspective. My goal is to help you navigate your anxiety with compassion and strength, turning it from a roadblock into a pathway for growth.
