Anxiety
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
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. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
Sexual anxiety, performance fears, or the quiet worry that something is “wrong” with your desire or body can create distance in your relationship or within yourself. In a safe, non-judgmental space, we gently unpack where the anxiety comes from—whether it’s rooted in past experiences, shame, or repeating patterns—and help you rebuild confidence, presence, and pleasure. Many clients notice they can finally relax, communicate their needs more openly, and experience intimacy that feels good instead of pressured or scary.

Annette Popernik
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Anxiety makes us scatter-brained, irritated, annoyed, edgy, overwhelmed, and so much more. We get frustrated with anxiety and we get anxiety about having anxiety. Let's identify the ways anxiety shows up for you and how we can address this. It's not about fixing it or making it go away but rather about learning how to cope with it when it arises. We can actually decrease the intensity over time but we cannot expect it to be "cured." You are enough. You are not your anxiety.

Anxiety
Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
The worry doesn't turn off. You run through scenarios, anticipate problems, prepare for disasters that never arrive. Your body stays tense even when there's no immediate threat. People tell you to relax, as if you hadn't thought of that, as if you wouldn't if you could. We work with anxiety not by trying to make it disappear but by helping you understand what's driving it and changing your relationship to it. You can learn to feel the discomfort without being controlled by it. Our clinicians use evidence-based approaches that actually work, not just reassurance that wears off by the time you get to your car. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.

Michael Losoff
Psychologist, PhD
Michael treats anxiety as more than just a symptom to be silenced, exploring it as a meaningful signal that points toward deeper, unresolved conflicts or life transitions.
Anxiety often feels like an internal alarm that won’t turn off. Even though it often can contain a neurobiological component, it usually serves as a protective—albeit exhausting—response to deeper vulnerabilities. With over 35 years of clinical experience, Michael helps clients move beyond merely managing "nerves" to understanding what their anxiety is trying to communicate. By utilizing a psychodynamic approach, he explores the underlying roots of worry, whether they stem from early life patterns, complex trauma, or the existential pressures of major transitions. This collaborative work aims to transform the energy of anxiety into self-awareness, allowing for a more grounded, peaceful, and intentional life.

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.
