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.

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.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In my practice, I help patients struggling with anxiety and fears by utilizing a comprehensive and personalized approach tailored to their unique needs. I begin with a thorough assessment to understand the specific sources and impact of their anxiety. Education is provided to help patients recognize anxiety triggers and understand the physiological responses involved. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is employed to address negative thought patterns and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Mindfulness and relaxation techniques are taught to enhance self-awareness and reduce stress. Exposure therapy is used to gradually desensitize patients to their fears in a controlled and supportive environment. I also offer strategies for improving emotional regulation and building resilience. Family involvement is encouraged to create a supportive network, and a strength-based approach is used to build confidence and empowerment. Ongoing support and follow-up ensure continuous progress and adjustment of therapeutic strategies. This comprehensive approach aims to empower patients to manage their anxiety effectively, overcome their fears, and lead more fulfilling lives.

Nefertiti Nowell
Therapist, Dr.
Seeking help is a powerful step to improving your quality of life. Talking to someone about whatever your concerns are is something that almost anyone can benefit from, but many people are afraid to reach out. If you are considering therapy or coaching, I applaud you, and I really do want to help you find what you need to feel POWERFUL and help you develop the tools to have peace in your life.
I enjoy working with diverse clients, and have treated patients on the inpatient as well as outpatient basis. I began providing therapy in 1996, and have worked full time in several local hospitals before deciding to work full time in outpatient private practice. Though I work with many populations, I enjoy helping individuals with issues of trauma as well as working with couples. I work with all age ranges and have helped clients with a range of diagnosis. I use a variety of techniques, including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR. I am also a Certified Hypnotist and a trained mediator.

South Psychology
Psychologist, PhD
South Psychology, based in Centennial, Colorado, specializes in providing evidence-based mental health therapy for individuals dealing with anxiety or fears. Their skilled clinicians employ a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and exposure and response prevention (ERP). Let’s delve into the details:
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP): ERP is a powerful technique used to treat anxiety disorders, particularly obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It aims to gradually reduce anxiety by exposing individuals to triggering stimuli or thoughts in a safe and controlled environment. Through repeated exposure, people become less physiologically aroused by these triggers, leading to habituation. The response prevention component teaches clients not to give in to compulsive behaviors, ultimately breaking the cycle of anxiety and avoidance.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): South Psychology integrates CBT principles to help clients understand and manage their anxious thoughts. By identifying cognitive distortions and challenging irrational beliefs, individuals learn healthier coping strategies. CBT equips them with practical tools to navigate anxiety-inducing situations, improve emotional regulation, and enhance overall well-being.
Optimizing Functioning: Beyond symptom reduction, South Psychology focuses on optimizing various aspects of life. Whether it’s excelling in school, advancing in a career, or nurturing social connections, their approach aims to empower clients to thrive despite anxiety or fears.

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.
