Lisa Taylor-Austin
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, NCC, LPC, LMHC, CFMHE, CFBA, LCPC, LCMHC
I use CBT to challenge irrational thoughts and fears to make them more realistic and positive. We know our thoughts directly affect out emotions. If we don't feel positive, we need to change our thoughts.

Anxiety can have you feeling like the sky is falling. It hijacks your brain and send you down rabbit holes of "what if". We can, together, approach new methods of understanding the impact of anxiety and how to get some workarounds.

South Psychology
Psychologist, PhD
South Psychology, based in Centennial, Colorado, specializes in providing evidence-based mental health therapy for individuals dealing with anxiety or fears. Their skilled clinicians employ a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and exposure and response prevention (ERP). Let’s delve into the details:
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP): ERP is a powerful technique used to treat anxiety disorders, particularly obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It aims to gradually reduce anxiety by exposing individuals to triggering stimuli or thoughts in a safe and controlled environment. Through repeated exposure, people become less physiologically aroused by these triggers, leading to habituation. The response prevention component teaches clients not to give in to compulsive behaviors, ultimately breaking the cycle of anxiety and avoidance.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): South Psychology integrates CBT principles to help clients understand and manage their anxious thoughts. By identifying cognitive distortions and challenging irrational beliefs, individuals learn healthier coping strategies. CBT equips them with practical tools to navigate anxiety-inducing situations, improve emotional regulation, and enhance overall well-being.
Optimizing Functioning: Beyond symptom reduction, South Psychology focuses on optimizing various aspects of life. Whether it’s excelling in school, advancing in a career, or nurturing social connections, their approach aims to empower clients to thrive despite anxiety or fears.

Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
"Anxiety is actually a normal part of life and can be helpful at moderate levels, providing motivation to push you to achieve more, or providing a warning to avoid a bad or dangerous situation. However, many people experience such high anxiety levels that they feel distressed, and the anxiety interferes with their functioning. Therapy can help you learn to manage and reduce your anxiety so it no longer distresses you. Paying attention to habits, thoughts, beliefs, and feelings related to anxiety can help people greatly reduce the negative impact of anxiety. I use a holistic approach with psychodynamic underpinnings to help you to identify beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and habits that contribute to your anxiety, and then make changes to reduce and manage your anxiety.
