LaTianna Williams, Therapy, Sexology, and Holistic Tantra
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CTRS, ABS
Anxiety & Fears : Living with anxiety can feel like your mind never shuts off. Constant worry, overthinking, panic attacks, self-doubt, social anxiety, and fear of the unknown can make it difficult to feel present, confident, and at ease in your daily life. You may find yourself anticipating worst-case scenarios, struggling to relax, or feeling trapped by thoughts that won’t stop.
As a therapist, I help clients understand the underlying causes of anxiety while developing practical tools to regulate the nervous system, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and build emotional resilience. Together, we’ll identify what is fueling your fears and create strategies that help you feel more grounded and empowered.
Therapy is not about eliminating fear entirely. It’s about helping you trust yourself enough to move through life with greater calm, confidence, and freedom.

Chris 'Bucky' Bateman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anxiety has a way of quietly taking over relationships, decisions, sleep, and the ability to simply be present. We help clients understand what's driving their anxiety beneath the surface and develop practical, sustainable tools for managing it. Whether your anxiety shows up in relationships, work, or daily life, therapy provides a calm space to slow down and find your footing again.

KIM RICHARDSON LINDLEY
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, I CADC II
Navigating the spectrum of anxiety and fear from a perspective of which kinds of anxiety and fear are helpful and keep us safe, and which kinds can feel unmanageable and need more support is truly worthwhile and meaningful work.

Robin Bates-Pualuan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
While it's good to think through potential outcomes, sometimes worry can overwhelm us. Perhaps you've always been a worrier or spent a lot of time on the "what ifs" and worst case scenarios in life. Or maybe you're a perfectionist, or have difficulty making decisions because you worry too much about what could go wrong. It's painful and un-productive to get caught up in an anxiety spiral. I can work with you on strategies for learning to tolerate the uncertainties in life and move forward toward your true values and desires.

Charles B. Walker

When working with clients suffering from anxiety, I employ a compassionate and evidence-based approach designed to help you understand and manage your symptoms effectively. My training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR provides a strong foundation for addressing the various aspects of anxiety.
In our sessions, we will identify the triggers and patterns that contribute to your anxiety. I create a safe, supportive environment where you can openly discuss your experiences and concerns. Together, we will develop practical strategies to reduce anxiety, such as mindfulness techniques, relaxation exercises, and cognitive restructuring to challenge and change unhelpful thought patterns.
I believe in empowering you with the tools and skills needed to regain control and confidence in your life. Through our work, you will learn to manage anxiety more effectively, enhancing your overall well-being and ability to navigate daily challenges with greater ease.

Empowered Wellbeing, Decolonizing Intersectional and Integrative Complex Trauma & Dissociation Recovery Support
Life Coach, view my credentials online at: www.recoveringfromwithin.com/credentialslongform
From an TIST/EFIT/IPNB/IFS Parts Perspective, clients get to know parts with anxieties and fears and learn how to listen and be with the anxiety, even finding hidden wisdom in these parts. We also offer the Polyvagal Theory based Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) for clients with more intensive anxiety and fears, particularly social and intimacy fears. Sometimes a functional approach may support clients experiencing anxiety due to physiological stress or epigenetic adaptive stress (e.g. if a basic metabolism or hormonal cycle is not able to complete with ease or there is an injury or chronic health condition that is still being tended to in the body, the brain will likely receive signals of distress that could be read as baseline anxiety, but may be a bodily signal that some part of a basic physiological cycle is not able to function smoothly and may benefit from ascertaining where the challenge is and working with supplemental or integrative support/education/care that is within scope or collaborative scope); please feel free to ask if you have any questions about this.

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.

Anxiety can arise when old patterns, current stress, or identity‑based pressures overwhelm your system. It may leave you feeling tense, vigilant, or stuck in loops of worry. Therapy offers a space to slow down, understand what’s happening, and find steadier ground.

Mona Saba Valeriano
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Anxiety is often treated as the primary problem—especially when it shows up as panic or feels debilitating. While anxiety is very real and distressing, I often understand it as a signal: a masking emotion that points to deeper, unprocessed material beneath the surface.
When we lose connection to the early somatic cues of anxiety, it tends to intensify or become somatized. Drawing from ISTDP and IFS, I help clients build awareness of how anxiety lives in their bodies and strengthen their capacity to regulate it through mindfulness and nervous system attunement. When appropriate, we gently move beneath the anxiety to explore the underlying feelings and protective defenses driving it. As those deeper emotions are processed, anxiety symptoms often lessen naturally and sustainably.

Fuller Life Concepts
Marriage and Family Therapist
Our Feelings First Program for anxious children (ages 6-12) uses a CBT framework adapted for young minds. Kids learn to identify their worry thoughts, understand how those thoughts affect their feelings and behaviors, and practice new ways to respond. Through games, activities, and age-appropriate exercises, we teach cognitive restructuring, relaxation techniques, and gradual exposure—all in a way that makes sense to kids. Parents receive parallel coaching so you can reinforce these skills at home

TREATMENT AND TOOLS FOR TRAUMA
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PH.D., IN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND NEUROSCIENCE, CERTIFIED PSYCHOANALYST, PSY.A, & LICENSED PSYCHOANALYST
Generalized Anxiety Disorder includes anxiety attacks and panic attacks. Both responses by the mind/brain/mind initiate the body's HPA axis sending stress hormones cascading through the body. My treatment involves the use of supplements (unique to each patient) and not drugs, talk therapy, mediation, and the development of healing flow activities. The goal is to lessen the impact of the sympathetic nervous system and to bring the parasympathetic nervous online to calm a person's mind/brain/body.
