Anxiety
Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Anxiety and fear can be approached from a variety of therapeutic techniques. Depending on severity, we can stay flexible in approaches to your anxiety and fear that you are experiencing. I like to note that many anxieties and fears are rooted in real experiences that are worthy of unearthing and healing. For those who come with anxieties that are based in reality, such as experiencing oppression or aggression from society, we will work together to find a path that allows you to feel like you get to live a life of value and finding ways to decrease your anxiety without necessarily losing access to safety.

Gemstone Wellness, Inc.
Psychologist, PsyD, LCPC, LCSW, LPC
At Gemstone Wellness, anxiety is not treated as something to simply “manage” or suppress—it is understood as a meaningful signal shaped by your nervous system, your history, and the environments you’ve had to adapt to. Rather than focusing only on symptom reduction, therapy begins by helping you understand why your anxiety exists and what it has been trying to protect.
Our approach is grounded in nervous system regulation and trauma-informed care. Many clients come in feeling overwhelmed by racing thoughts, chronic worry, panic, or a persistent sense of unease. We work collaboratively to slow these patterns down—helping you recognize triggers, understand the mind-body connection, and build the capacity to respond rather than react. Over time, this creates a greater sense of stability, clarity, and internal safety.
Treatment is not one-size-fits-all. We integrate a range of approaches—including cognitive and behavioral strategies, mindfulness, body-based awareness, and trauma-focused work—while remaining flexible to your needs, pace, and preferences. Tools are offered thoughtfully, not prescriptively, so that therapy feels supportive rather than overwhelming or performative.
Importantly, we recognize that anxiety is often rooted in deeper experiences: trauma, identity-based stress, cultural expectations, loss, or longstanding patterns of self-protection. Therapy at Gemstone Wellness makes space for these layers. We move beyond surface-level coping into insight—helping you untangle the beliefs, experiences, and relational patterns that keep anxiety in place.
The work is both practical and relational. You will gain tools to navigate moments of distress, but you will also develop a different relationship with yourself—one grounded in self-trust rather than fear. As that shift happens, anxiety often softens, not because it is forced away, but because it is no longer carrying the same burden alone.

Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I work with individuals experiencing persistent worry, overthinking, and physical symptoms of anxiety that interfere with daily life. Drawing on extensive clinical experience treating anxiety and related concerns across community mental health and private practice settings, I incorporate biological and neurological education to help clients understand how anxiety affects the brain, body, and nervous system.
Anxiety is a naturally occurring process that can build slowly or appear suddenly. While many people associate anxiety only with panic attacks, it more often shows up as overthinking, constant analyzing, chronic worry, and a low-grade sense of never feeling fully safe. This ongoing activation can cause the limbic system to become overactive and gradually diminish the body’s ability to relax. Anxiety often gives the false impression of control over situations that are ultimately outside of our control.
In our work together, I teach practical skills to regulate the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, reduce reactivity, and restore a sense of internal stability. Together, we develop tools to manage uncertainty, increase tolerance for lack of control, and respond to stress with greater clarity, confidence, and emotional balance.

Anxiety
Jennifer Whaley
Psychologist, PsyD
Anxiety can make life extremely limited in what you can or want to do. It is our human nature to want to avoid; however, this most often takes us further away from the life you desire. I use a CBT approach of exploring your fears and responses while gaining confidence through practicing actions. My main focus areas are health anxiety, OCD, agoraphobia, and panic.

Kelli Hall
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I work with individuals who experience anxiety that often shows up as overthinking, people-pleasing, or feeling constantly “on edge.”
Many clients find that their anxiety is closely tied to patterns of over-responsibility and difficulty setting boundaries. Because, well, relationships are the hardest things we do!
In our work together, we focus on understanding these patterns, regulating the nervous system, and building practical tools to create a greater sense of calm and control.

Natalie A Shafer
Counselor/Therapist, MA, NCC, LPC
Anxiety and fear can show up as consistent worry, restlessness, or a sense of being on edge. These responses are often rooted in the mind and body’s effort to anticipate and protect against perceived threats. Together, we can better understand these patterns, gently challenge what may no longer serve you, and develop ways to feel more steady and at ease.

Dawnn R. Meiers
Psychologist, Psy.D.
These are difficult times, and it's natural to feel anxious or scared. In fact, fear has a biological purpose; it kept our ancestors alive and alert to threats of harm. However, our anxiety can become stuck on overdrive. In psychotherapy, we'll practice noticing and naming fear as it shows up in daily life, learn to discern when action (versus self-compassion, mindful awareness, or acceptance) is needed, and experiment with skillful responses.

Ashley Pinto
Therapist, LCPC, CCTP
For many women, anxiety and panic are not just thoughts in the mind—they are experiences held in the body. Chronic worry, sudden waves of fear, tightness in the chest, racing thoughts, or a constant sense of being on edge are often signs of a nervous system stuck in survival mode. These responses can develop over time in response to stress, overwhelm, trauma, or long-standing pressure to stay “high-functioning” while ignoring your own needs.
Through integrative somatic therapy, I help women learn to work with their nervous systems rather than against them. Our work focuses on restoring a felt sense of safety, increasing capacity for calm, and gently unwinding fear-based patterns at a pace that feels supportive and empowering. Healing doesn’t mean eliminating anxiety altogether—it means building resilience, choice, and trust in yourself and your body so fear no longer runs the show.
I no longer offer weekly insurance-based 53 minute sessions. After a decade of seeing clients under this model, I've shifted my practice to private pay customized services that better meet the needs of my niche clients. My customized Therapy Intensives are specially designed to offer you a more a more spacious, efficient, and streamlined for a deeper and more transformative experience. They are intended to be short-term and can serve as an adjunct to ongoing therapy with your already established therapist, such as in the case that you really enjoy the work you are doing with them but they do not specialize in an area that I do. I also offer monthly extended sessions (90 minutes to 2 hours) for those looking for a hybrid option, that allows for deeper work as well as ongoing support. Please visit my website for more details on how we can work together.

Dr. Danielle Goodwin
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Anxiety is a normal emotion we all experience and can be helpful in some situations. However, one may need help when it is affecting your ability to do tasks you used to enjoy , work/school or relationships. Anxiety can be manifested as a specific fear, panic attacks or obsessive thoughts/compulsive behaviors. CBT is often used to assist with altering maladaptive behaviors and thoughts. Together, we can work on helping you to confront and overcome fears.
