Anxiety or Fears
Heather Clifft
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Anxiety is a normal human stress response. However, those who struggle with an anxiety based disorder may feel as though they are anxious or worried all or most of the time. Racing thoughts, uncontrollable over-thinking, difficulty concentrating, and feelings of dread or impending doom, are but a few of the symptoms of anxiety. Since one one person experiences anxiety and panic in exactly the same way, we will develop a treatment plan specific to your needs. Through treating symptoms and alleviating the underlying causes, we can move you to a place of increased peace.

Melanie Mosbarger
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, CTTS
Feel like you're caught in a hamster wheel of your thoughts? Have you tried saying STOP and it still doesn't work? At the core of each anxiety or fear lies an insecurity or a voice from the past where someone deliberately or inadvertently spoke a lie over you. It's time to release that lie and embrace the truth over your life.

Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
In our dedicated anxiety and fear management therapy, we offer compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to help individuals navigate the complexities of anxiety, panic disorders, and phobias. Recognizing that anxiety can manifest in diverse ways—from generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) to specific phobias and panic attacks—we provide a supportive and understanding environment where clients can safely confront their fears and learn practical strategies for managing anxiety.
Personalized Approaches to Anxiety Management
* Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): A cornerstone of our approach, CBT helps individuals understand the relationship between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Through CBT, clients learn to identify and challenge distorted thought patterns and beliefs contributing to anxiety, replacing them with healthier, more balanced ways of thinking.
* Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques: Incorporating mindfulness practices and relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and meditation, can significantly reduce symptoms of anxiety. These methods teach clients how to stay present and grounded, managing anxiety symptoms as they arise.
* Exposure Therapy: For those dealing with specific phobias or panic disorders, exposure therapy can be particularly effective. Gradually and safely exposing individuals to the source of their fears in a controlled setting can help diminish the power those fears hold.
* Stress Management: Learning to manage stress through time management, lifestyle changes, and healthy coping mechanisms can significantly reduce overall anxiety levels. We work with clients to identify sources of stress in their lives and develop practical solutions to address them.
* Strengths-Based Approach: Emphasizing the strengths and resources that each individual brings into therapy allows for a more empowering approach to managing anxiety. By building on these strengths, clients can foster a greater sense of confidence and resilience.
Goals of Therapy for Anxiety or Fears
The ultimate goal of our therapy sessions is not merely to reduce symptoms but to enhance overall well-being and quality of life. Through therapy, clients can achieve:
* Increased Coping Skills: Gain a toolkit of strategies to manage anxiety symptoms effectively when they arise.
* Improved Self-Understanding: A deeper insight into the triggers of anxiety and how past experiences may influence current reactions.
* Enhanced Quality of Life: With reduced anxiety, individuals can enjoy more fulfilling social interactions, better performance at work or school, and a richer, more engaging life.
If you or someone you know is struggling with anxiety or fears, let's work together to develop a comprehensive, personalized path to managing these feelings and fostering a more peaceful, satisfying life.
