Anxiety
Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist & Psychoanalyst
Anxiety is not random or purely situational; it is connected to deeper emotional patterns that have been shaped over time and across important relationships of ours. These patterns quietly influence how we feel, react, and relate to other people.
In our work together, we would take time to gently understand what may be driving your anxiety beneath the surface. This includes looking at early experiences and relationships that may still be affecting you now. As these patterns become clearer, many people begin to feel less controlled by their anxiety and more able to respond to it in steadier ways. The goal is not just short-term relief, but a more lasting sense of ease and self-assuredness.

Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anxiety can feel constant, overwhelming, and difficult to quiet. I work with individuals to understand the underlying patterns driving anxious thoughts and feelings, rather than only focusing on symptom relief. Together, we slow things down, identify triggers, and build the capacity to tolerate uncertainty and distress, leading to a greater sense of steadiness and control.

Dr. Angel Enrique Pacheco, Ph.D., C.Psych.
Psychologist, Registered Clinical Psychologist
Phobias are irrational fears, meaning that most people do not react with the same intensity that you do to whatever you are afraid of. When you are phobic, the Fight or Flight Response set is initiated, which is a normal reaction, except when it is triggered and there is no actually no reason to be afraid. When this occurs, you need specialized help to reduce the anxiety you feel and the fears you experience.

Cindy Lee Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
I specialize in helping adults who struggle with anxiety, panic attacks, overthinking, and chronic worry. You may feel stuck in racing thoughts, constant “what ifs,” or a sense of being on edge that doesn’t fully make sense. Even if you’re high-functioning in other areas, anxiety can still disrupt your relationships, sleep, and daily life.
My approach goes beyond traditional talk therapy. I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and the Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) to address the root causes of anxiety, not just the symptoms. These evidence-based, trauma-informed therapies help your brain and nervous system process unresolved experiences that keep anxiety active.
I also integrate nervous system regulation and attachment-based work, which is especially helpful if you tend to overanalyze, avoid, or feel emotionally guarded. Therapy is paced to feel manageable, with a focus on building internal stability while creating meaningful, lasting change.
Clients often come to me after trying to “manage” anxiety without real relief. Through this work, many experience reduced anxiety, fewer panic symptoms, and a greater sense of calm, clarity, and control.

Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, LCSW
In my practice, understanding and addressing anxiety and fears involves a holistic approach that recognizes these experiences as deeply intertwined with the nervous system's response to both past and present traumas. This perspective acknowledges that anxiety often signals unresolved issues demanding attention, guiding us towards a journey of healing and connection with our authentic selves.
Central to our therapeutic work is the regulation of the nervous system, a critical step in creating a foundation for processing traumas and alleviating the physical and emotional manifestations of anxiety. By fostering a state of calm and safety within the body, we open pathways for individuals to explore the deeper sources of their anxiety and fears, which often stem from unprocessed traumas and the disconnection from their true selves.
Together, we embark on a process of gently uncovering and working through these traumas, aiming to understand their impact and integrate these experiences in a way that promotes healing and resilience. This journey is not just about managing symptoms but about transforming the relationship with anxiety and fear, viewing these emotions as part of a larger narrative of self-discovery and personal growth.
By re-establishing a connection to the authentic self, individuals are empowered to navigate their lives with a renewed sense of clarity, purpose, and inner strength. This reconnection also facilitates a deeper understanding of one's needs, desires, and boundaries, leading to more fulfilling relationships and a life that truly reflects one's values and aspirations.
Through this compassionate and depth-oriented approach, anxiety and fears are transformed from overwhelming challenges into opportunities for profound healing and self-realization, paving the way for a life lived with greater peace, authenticity, and empowerment.

Anxiety
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.

Patricia Fahmy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Anxiety can feel exhausting, especially when it begins to affect your relationships, confidence, and sense of emotional security. You may find yourself overthinking conversations, worrying about how others feel about you, seeking reassurance, struggling with trust, fearing rejection, feeling overwhelmed by conflict, or pulling away when vulnerability feels uncomfortable. While these patterns can be frustrating, they often make sense in the context of past experiences and the ways you've learned to protect yourself. I help clients understand the deeper roots of their anxiety, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop healthier, more secure ways of relating to themselves and others.

San Francisco's extreme housing costs and the psychological toll of the tech industry — characterized by intense performance pressure, rapid layoff cycles, and boom-bust uncertainty — have made burnout, anxiety, and economic grief among the most common presenting concerns. The city has a historically significant LGBTQ+ community, and affirming therapists specializing in gender identity, queer relationships, and HIV-related concerns remain an important part of the local therapy landscape. UCSF Health provides world-class institutional mental health resources, while the city's dense network of independent practitioners reflects a culture that has long embraced therapy as a normal and valued part of life. Telehealth has expanded access significantly for Bay Area residents commuting from Oakland, the East Bay, and the Peninsula.
