Hilary Stokes
Therapist, PHD, LCSW
Mind body approaches are fundamental to treating anxiety. Given anxiety has a primary physical component, brain informed, or body-based therapies have been shown to be essential in reducing symptoms of anxiety. In many cases these treatments far surpass traditional approaches. Meditation, mindfulness, diaphragmatic breathing practices and other relaxation techniques are often considered the hub of most mind body approaches. Brainspotting, EMDR, somatic therapy, parts therapy, hypnosis, visualization, energy psychology and biofeedback are several science-based strategies for decreasing anxiety.

We can work together to learn how to manage anxiety and specific fears. We will learn to manage the symptoms while also understanding where they come from, how they protect us and how they can sometimes get in the way of a more fearless way of being.

Shadi Souferian
Psychologist, Psy.D
Fear and anxiety keep us stuck in our limiting beliefs that we are incapable of living a fulfilling life. Fear is the emotion fueling feelings of inadequacy, unworthiness, insignificance, and that we are not lovable. Therapy and coaching are powerful tools to reduce fear and anxiety.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
When Anxiety Takes Over
Life can feel overwhelming when your mind never seems to rest. If you’re constantly worried, tense, or replaying conversations in your head, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to keep living that way. I specialize in helping women whose lives look “fine” on the outside but feel anything but calm on the inside. You may find yourself overthinking every decision, doubting your worth, or feeling frozen when it’s time to speak up or say no. You might notice that your fears — of judgment, rejection, or failure — keep you from showing up fully in your work, relationships, or daily life.
If you relate to this, I can help you learn how to quiet the mental noise and create more space for peace, confidence, and genuine connection. Using a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT, I’ll guide you through practical tools that help you understand and retrain the patterns that fuel anxiety. Together, we’ll uncover what triggers your fears, and build emotional skills so you can respond to stress with clarity instead of panic. My clients often describe the process as “life-changing” — because it helps them feel capable, grounded, and free.
I BELIEVE:
Anxiety isn’t a weakness — it’s your mind trying to protect you. We’ll teach it new ways to help instead of harm.
Mixed feelings are normal. You can want change and fear it at the same time.
Relationships are worth the effort. When you communicate with honesty and compassion, fear loses its grip.
You deserve to feel at ease in your own skin — confident, calm, and clear about what matters most.
Healing doesn’t have to be heavy. A little humor and humanity go a long way.

David Eshleman
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Anxiety and fear are some of the most common issues that many of us struggle with and can be some of the most unrecognized. Chronic stress and anxiety can go undiagnosed and can manifest in physical ailments. Not only does chronic anxiety reduce the body's immune system causing one to get sick more often, but it leads to an overall impediment to life. The paralysis of fear can prevent us from moving in the direction of our life goals, and the uncertainties that lead to anxiety can rob us of enjoying our life in the moment. I specialize in helping individuals to explore and understand these fears, find solutions and tools, reprocess the underlying emotions, and to start to live a life with less fear and more health, hope, wellness and happiness.

Amenah Arman
Therapist, MS-CLINICAL MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING, Nationally Certified Counselor
Anxiety often shows up as constant mental activity, pressure to perform, or a nervous system that rarely slows down. Many of the people I work with are founders, creatives, and high-performing professionals managing chronic stress, perfectionism, and the sense that they must always stay “on.” Through trauma-informed therapy and nervous system regulation, we work to reduce anxiety at its root so you can experience greater steadiness, clarity, and the ability to lead and create without running on constant adrenaline.

Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I help individuals and couples who are struggling with anxiety, excessive worry, or fears that interfere with daily life, relationships, or self confidence. Anxiety can show up in many ways, including racing thoughts, constant tension, difficulty relaxing, avoidance, or feeling overwhelmed by decisions or uncertainty. Together, we work to better understand how anxiety operates in your life and what may be maintaining it.
My approach focuses on helping you develop practical tools to manage anxious thoughts, regulate emotions, and feel more grounded in the present. We also explore underlying experiences or patterns that may be contributing to ongoing fear or stress. For some clients, this includes working through past experiences that continue to trigger anxiety in the present.
The goal is not to eliminate anxiety entirely, but to help you relate to it differently so it no longer controls your choices or limits your life. Over time, many clients find they are better able to face fears, tolerate uncertainty, and feel more confident navigating relationships, work, and everyday challenges.

Erin Kennedy
Therapist, LPCC
Do you find yourself constantly worrying about the future or anticipating that something will go wrong? Do you tend to ruminate about the past or feel like you're being judged? Anxiety can be a common aspect of modern life (especially with our ever-increasing digital connectedness), but it doesn't need to run yours. In fact, anxiety is often a way we attempt to cope with other difficult emotions like hurt, sadness, powerlessness, and anger. We will work together to identify the emotions driving your anxiety and develop more effective strategies, like mindfulness & radical acceptance, to cope.

Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
I work with both adults and adolescents on an individual basis. Individual psychotherapy helps clients deal with particular issues, symptoms, and stressors. My goal is to provide a safe, non judgmental space for you to explore who you are, how you relate to others, and what supports you on your journey to become your best self. I lean into, listen, understand, and enhance authentic expression. Together we create a collaborative process of transformation. What that means and what that looks like is different for everyone...
I offer evidence-based therapies from a curious, nonjudgmental philosophy. No matter where you have been, evidence-based therapies focus on changing the now. I strive to help my clients experience the world mindfully, and in accordance with their personal values. Through our work in cultivating an affirming, authentic, and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship, I provide support while we collaboratively deconstruct what is causing distress in your life and preventing you from being your most effective and authentic self. Individual therapy facilitates insight and growth, becoming more effective at actualizing your values, and building more authentic relationships with yourself and with others.
While there are many forms of therapy you can pursue, my expertise is in time-limited, evidence-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT), the Unified Protocol for emotional disorders, and third wave CBT such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness based interventions. (I do have experience in, and practice, an eclectic arrangement of other modalities as well-- when applicable or specifically requested.) We explore thoughts, beliefs, and understanding, while also prioritizing behavioral processes that focus on your contexts and the functions of how you relate to your internal experiences. CBT is designed to help individuals notice and shift their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to get relief from painful emotions such as anxiety and sadness.
Third wave interventions also promote well-being through developing coping skills, personal values, and metacognition that complement traditional CBT interventions. I provide flexible, customizable approaches that look different with each patient. I empower my clients to discover their strength, clarity, creativity, autonomy, resilience, motivation, and confidence in meeting whatever happens next. I provide individualized tools to use in everyday decision-making that will help those changes last. With these modalities I treat individuals who are impacted by depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship distress, burnout, divorce, loss, uncertainty, stigma, and other life experiences, diagnoses, and stressors. We explore the sources, experiences, and beliefs that impact how you relate with the world and implement change in your life. You are the expert on you, but are you your most effective and content self?

Susana Scotti, Journey Psychotherapy
Psychologist, PhD
Anxiety can be incredibly difficult to live with because it affects not just how you feel, but how you think, relate, and move through the world. It can create a sense of constant urgency or threat, even when things are objectively okay. Your mind may race ahead to worst-case scenarios, while your body stays in a heightened state of tension or alertness. Over time, this can become exhausting and discouraging, especially when it feels hard to “turn off” or control. As a licensed psychologist specializing in trauma, mood disorders and addiction, I offer compassionate, evidence-based treatment for anxiety that goes beyond short-term symptom relief. Using a tailored, trauma-informed, approach that may include exposure therapy, cognitive-behavioral strategies, insight-oriented therapy, and relaxation skills, I help clients build practical tools while also exploring the emotional and developmental origins of their anxiety. My goal is to support you in feeling not just less anxious, but more grounded, confident, and able to engage fully in your life.

New Beginnings Christian Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Anxiety can feel overwhelming—racing thoughts, constant worry, physical tension, and a sense that something bad is always about to happen. Often, anxiety is rooted in past experiences, attachment wounds, or deeply held beliefs about safety and control. In therapy, we work together to understand the source of your fears, calm your nervous system, and challenge the patterns that keep you stuck. Through evidence-based strategies and Christ-centered support, you’ll learn practical tools to manage anxious thoughts, build resilience, and move forward with greater peace and confidence.

Irvine is one of the wealthiest and most planned cities in the United States — anchored by UC Irvine and home to the regional headquarters of dozens of major corporations — with a therapy community shaped by the intersection of high-achievement academic culture, tech and finance sector burnout, and a large East Asian population that brings distinct cultural dimensions to help-seeking and mental health. The city's majority-minority population — with Chinese, Korean, Indian, and Iranian communities among the most prominent — drives strong demand for multilingual therapists who can work across multiple cultural frameworks. Hoag Hospital and the UCI Health system provide institutional mental health resources, with a well-established private practice community serving Irvine's planned residential villages. UCI's clinical psychology training program supplies a significant number of therapists to the broader Orange County ecosystem.
