Lincoln Park Psychology, Inc
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologists, LCPC, LPC, LCSW, LSW, CADC, AMFT
Anxiety and fear are natural responses in our daily lives. They are not only typical but they are necessary. The difficulty is in deciding when these feelings are dysfunctional vs. functional. Our clinicians work closely with clients to set attainable and realistic goals for clients as well as a plan to achieve these goals. Talking about your anxiety and fear, does not actually help your anxiety and fear. There needs to be a connection made regarding from where these feelings are stemming, how they manifest in each person, and where we can expect to change them.

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.

Aaliyah Gilbert
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSW
Anxiety can show up in many ways, such as racing thoughts, constant worry, physical tension, or a sense of being on edge that’s hard to turn off. I support clients in understanding what fuels their anxiety while also learning practical tools to manage it in day-to-day life. Together, we explore patterns, triggers, and underlying beliefs that may be keeping you stuck in cycles of fear or overwhelm. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, present, and in control of your emotional responses so anxiety feels less overwhelming and more manageable.

Summer Stewart, PsyD
Pre-Licensed Professional, PsyD
Anxiety doesn’t have to run the show. Maybe your mind never seems to shut off. You’re constantly overthinking, second-guessing yourself, or playing out worst-case scenarios. Even when nothing is “wrong,” your body still feels on edge—tight chest, racing thoughts, that pit in your stomach you can’t quite explain.
You’re tired of being stuck in your head, tired of the fear, tired of feeling like you're always holding it together for everyone else. I get it. Anxiety can make even the smallest things feel overwhelming. But you don’t have to keep living this way.
Therapy is a space to breathe again—to calm your nervous system, untangle the noise in your mind, and finally feel more present and in control. Together, I'll help you understand what’s fueling the anxiety and offer you tools to manage it in a way that feels gentle, doable, and tailored to you.
You're not broken. You're overwhelmed—and you deserve support. Let’s help you find ease, clarity, and confidence again. You don’t have to keep doing this alone.

Jayson L. Mystkowski
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP
While Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT) is highly effective in the treatment of anxiety disorders (e.g., Panic Disorder, Social Phobia, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder), clinicians do see some “return of fear,” or partial relapse, in some patients due to a variety of factors. Over the past two decades, treatment researchers, with whom Dr. Jayson Mystkowski had the pleasure of working with at UCLA for over 10 years, have studied “return of fear” and discovered some key variables that may optimize the effects of learning during CBT for anxiety disorders (Craske et al., 2008).
First, evidence suggests that focusing on tolerating fear versus eliminating fear yields better clinical outcomes in the long term. Namely, teaching clients that fear and anxiety are normal feelings, rather than attempting to “down-regulate” such feelings all the time, is more realistic and seems to engender “hardier” clients. Second, helping clients to generate an expectancy that “scary things will not happen,” is very powerful. To do this, it is important for clinicians to create more complex exposure exercises (i.e., tasks in which a client confronts a stimulus of which they are afraid), using multiple feared stimuli instead of one at a time. Then, the lack of a feared outcome becomes particularly surprising and memorable for a client and fear reduction is more potent. Third, increasing the accessibility and retrievability of non-fear memories learned during treatment are powerful factors in mitigating against a return of fear. Craske and colleagues demonstrated that exposure to variations of a feared stimulus, using a random schedule across multiple contexts or situations, is more effective than exposure to the same stimulus, on a predictable schedule, in an unchanging environment. The former paradigm, it is argued, creates stronger non-fear memories that are easier for a client to access when subsequently confronting feared objects or situations outside of the therapy context, than the later scenario.
In sum, clinicians have long been aware that some fear or anxiety returns following very successful CBT treatment. As mentioned above, there are some clear, empirically supported ways to modify the therapy we provide to further help clients generalize the gains made in therapy sessions to the real world.
