Anxiety
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.

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.

Margaret Shouse
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Anxiety can feel debilitating, like a never ending loop that you are continuously stuck on. I am here to work with you in helping you learn and understand your anxiety, and what purpose it serves for you. Having anxiety does not mean you are broken. Anxiety is a bunch of signals going off that is bringing your awareness to something that your mind wants to pay attention to, and we can navigate this together. There are ways to help make it manageable and to help get control back of your life and I want to go on that journey with you.

Nicole Houde
Pre-Licensed Professional
I work with individuals experiencing anxiety or fears by helping them better understand the patterns that keep anxiety going, such as avoidance, overthinking, and a strong need for certainty. Anxiety can show up in many ways, including racing thoughts, physical tension, or feeling constantly on edge. In therapy, we focus on building skills to respond to these experiences more effectively. Using CBT and ACT based approaches, I support clients in gradually facing fears, reducing avoidance, and developing a more flexible relationship with anxious thoughts so they can feel more confident and in control in their daily lives.

Margo Tirado MA LCPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC
I help my clients reduce anxiety by addressing both the mind and the body—because anxiety isn’t just a thought, it’s a physical experience too. While insight therapy helps uncover the “why” behind your patterns, lasting relief comes from integrating somatic release, EFT, mindfulness, and other body-centered practices. Together, we create a space where you can safely release tension, regulate your nervous system, and feel more grounded, calm, and in control.

Dr. Colby Cohen-Archer
Psychologist, PhD
Feeling keyed up, exhausted, and unable to just be present? Anxiety can creep into our lives in so many ways. From a racing mind keeping you up at night, to second guessing every decision, to avoiding social situations, anxiety likes to take control and run your life, often making it smaller in the process. I work collaboratively with you to take your power back in your life, learn strategies to calm your body and mind, and find ways to gain back meaning and purpose.

Danielle Keys at Headway
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, M.S.ED, LCPC
Many things in life can trigger anxiety or fear. Often times, it is hard for individuals to pinpoint it's origin and sometimes there is no exact thing to point to. I assist clients to learn about their internal world- thoughts, feelings, actions, and most importantly bodily experiences that are often not noticed. Anxiety starts from the inside-out. We will use Mindfulness, Progressive Muscle Relaxation, and learning about how emotions impact our body's response to things in the environment. We must distinguish between what's in one's control and what is not.
