Jonathan Schnapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Anxiety can show up in many ways—persistent worry, racing thoughts, physical tension, or a sense that something isn’t quite right. Together, we’ll take the time to understand what’s driving these feelings rather than just trying to push them away. By exploring underlying patterns and developing a more grounded relationship to your thoughts and emotions, therapy can help you feel less overwhelmed and more able to move through life with clarity and steadiness.

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.

Emily Blitz
Psychologist, PsyD
Anxiety often is often hard to experience, but it's also a signal pointing to your needs, relationships, or sense of safety. In our work together, we focus on calming your nervous system while also exploring what your anxiety might be trying to tell you—especially in relation to your early experiences, important life changes, or patterns in close relationships. By approaching it with curiosity and care, anxiety can become a guide toward greater understanding and a steadier sense of calm.

Anxiety can feel like a constant state of worry, restlessness, or even panic that makes it hard to fully engage in your daily life. At our practice, we understand how overwhelming anxiety can be and offer evidence-based approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Exposure Therapy to help you manage and reduce its impact. Together, we’ll pin point anxiety triggers, develop tools to navigate it, break reinforcing cycles, and create a path to a more grounded version of yourself.

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.

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.

Dr. Sheena Sikorski
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
If you're stuck in constant comparison mode or feeling like things need to be perfect all the time...then you might procrastinate out of fear something won't be good enough or even overwork yourself until things are just perfect. Either way, these sort of patterns may contribute to anxiety. Let's work together to get you out of this cycle.

Meghan Luse
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCPC
Chronic anxiety is often the result of a nervous system that is stuck in a state of high alert. Rather than just focusing on coping skills, we will look at the underlying causes of your distress. We will utilize somatic tools to help you recognize how anxiety physically manifests in your body, allowing us to actively work on regulating your nervous system so you can feel more settled.

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.
