Life can be scary. Feeling overwhelmed and out of control happens for many good reasons but sometimes we are not able to calm ourselves enough to function the way we want to. I can help you reorder how you think, make choices and relate to others so that you regain a sense of control over your anxieties. Fear and stress do not have to run your life.

Johanna Wood, Leap Counseling and Consultation
Psychologist, PhD, LP
I specialize in exposure-based therapies for anxiety disorders. My clients typically have tried therapy before, but have not seen much improvement. They continue living in fear, anxiety, and guilt, as their lives continue getting smaller and smaller. Coping skills are great, but they can only get you so far. The good news is, there are science-backed treatments for anxiety that actually work. If you're ready to stop coping and start living, take a leap of faith and reach out.
My style is structured and balances use of the latest science with compassion and understanding. My goal is to make you feel heard, and feel challenged. I serve adults with primary anxiety and OCD, and I also address co-occurring depression, insomnia, body-focused repetitive behaviors, and trauma, using cognitive-behavioral therapies. You don't have to keep suffering this way.

Jayson L. Mystkowski
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP
While Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT) is highly effective in the treatment of anxiety disorders (e.g., Panic Disorder, Social Phobia, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder), clinicians do see some “return of fear,” or partial relapse, in some patients due to a variety of factors. Over the past two decades, treatment researchers, with whom Dr. Jayson Mystkowski had the pleasure of working with at UCLA for over 10 years, have studied “return of fear” and discovered some key variables that may optimize the effects of learning during CBT for anxiety disorders (Craske et al., 2008).
First, evidence suggests that focusing on tolerating fear versus eliminating fear yields better clinical outcomes in the long term. Namely, teaching clients that fear and anxiety are normal feelings, rather than attempting to “down-regulate” such feelings all the time, is more realistic and seems to engender “hardier” clients. Second, helping clients to generate an expectancy that “scary things will not happen,” is very powerful. To do this, it is important for clinicians to create more complex exposure exercises (i.e., tasks in which a client confronts a stimulus of which they are afraid), using multiple feared stimuli instead of one at a time. Then, the lack of a feared outcome becomes particularly surprising and memorable for a client and fear reduction is more potent. Third, increasing the accessibility and retrievability of non-fear memories learned during treatment are powerful factors in mitigating against a return of fear. Craske and colleagues demonstrated that exposure to variations of a feared stimulus, using a random schedule across multiple contexts or situations, is more effective than exposure to the same stimulus, on a predictable schedule, in an unchanging environment. The former paradigm, it is argued, creates stronger non-fear memories that are easier for a client to access when subsequently confronting feared objects or situations outside of the therapy context, than the later scenario.
In sum, clinicians have long been aware that some fear or anxiety returns following very successful CBT treatment. As mentioned above, there are some clear, empirically supported ways to modify the therapy we provide to further help clients generalize the gains made in therapy sessions to the real world.

Cindy Yu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anxiety or Fears (or sometimes also with panic) can be viewed as such a "scary monster" because we could not predict when it comes and when it goes, because we felt like it it uncontrollable or unknown. I have extensive experiences with helping my clients to manage and regain control, change it from unknown and known, so it is no longer the "scary monster" but an emotion that can be predictable and manageable.

Jennifer L Abel
Psychologist, Ph.D.
This is my wheelhouse! The two most important things to know about anxiety is that it occurs in a spiral and that fighting it fuels it. That old adage the best way to overcome your fears is to face is true. But most people bite off more than they can chew and it only fuels the issue. My systematic approach works great.

Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
None of us is immune to anxiety and I believe we need a certain amount of anxiety in order to get out of bed each morning and to push ourselves to meet all that we have to accomplish in a given day. Balance, however, is essential. Too much anxiety immobilizes and stymies us, but too little can also create complications for motivation, productivity, goal-setting, and self-esteem.

Christina Webb
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, NCC
Anxiety is the body’s response to situations that are interpreted as threatening. Without anxiety we would probably make bad decisions, such as driving too fast on the highway. However, when we experience too much anxiety it can lead to avoidance or unpleasant physical, emotional, and cognitive symptoms. People have worried about things for centuries, but it has never once had a positive effect on the outcome of the situation. Worrying and anxiety drain our energy, both emotionally and physically. When we have less energy to deal with a situation it causes our anxiety level to rise. I believe in a multi-faceted approach that includes tackling dysfunctional thinking, teaching healthy coping skills, addressing sources of anxiety and distress, understanding each unique situation, and identifying possible solutions. As a therapist, I do not tell you what to do. I strive to empower you to make the best possible decisions. Let me help you find healthy ways to handle and deal with your anxiety and worry.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for anxiety, panic attacks, chronic stress, excessive worry, and nervous system overwhelm. Many high-achieving professionals, business owners, caregivers, and driven individuals silently struggle with anxiety while continuing to perform at a high level in work, relationships, and daily responsibilities. Over time, chronic anxiety can lead to emotional exhaustion, difficulty relaxing, sleep problems, irritability, panic symptoms, burnout, and a constant feeling of being “on edge.”
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to anxiety treatment, helping clients understand and address the deeper emotional and neurological patterns contributing to anxiety symptoms. Anxiety often develops from unresolved trauma, chronic stress exposure, attachment wounds, perfectionism, high-pressure environments, or painful life experiences that continue to activate the nervous system long after the original events occurred.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, mindfulness-based approaches, and holistic therapeutic methods to help clients reduce anxiety, process emotional triggers, and restore a greater sense of calm, clarity, and control.
Therapy focuses on identifying the root causes of anxiety rather than only managing symptoms. Clients work to better understand emotional triggers, reduce nervous system hyperactivation, improve coping strategies, and develop healthier emotional and relational patterns that support long-term emotional wellness.
Brad works collaboratively with clients to create an individualized treatment plan tailored to their personal goals, lifestyle demands, and emotional needs. Therapy provides a confidential, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where clients can safely explore the factors contributing to stress, anxiety, panic, or emotional overwhelm while building practical strategies for lasting change.
Many successful individuals become trapped in cycles of overthinking, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or constant productivity that leave little room for rest, emotional connection, or peace of mind. Brad’s approach helps clients move beyond survival mode and regain a healthier balance emotionally, mentally, and relationally.
The goal of therapy is not simply to reduce anxiety symptoms, but to help clients restore emotional stability, improve relationships, strengthen resilience, and create a more grounded, balanced, and fulfilling life.
Virtual counseling and online EMDR therapy sessions are available, providing confidential and convenient access to specialized trauma-focused therapy from the comfort and privacy of home.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Anxiety can manifest as racing thoughts, worry, or physical tension that feels impossible to switch off. I help clients explore the protective parts carrying fear and responsibility, while using evidence-based tools like relaxation training, narrative therapy, mindfulness, and somatic strategies to calm the nervous system and build resilience. With training in IFS, attachment-focused work, and behavioral interventions, I tailor therapy to each person’s needs. I also collaborate with prescribers when appropriate and bring strong diagnostic skills to clarify overlapping concerns such as panic, trauma, or ADHD.
