Phillip Thomas Stepka, PsyD.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
"Worry," "nervousness," "fear," "bad nerves," "stress"? Anxiety can mean many things to many different people. Some experience this unwanted state in the forms of body sensations such as digestive distress, racing heart, and/or feelings of suffocation that seemingly come randomly and without clear explanations. Others have intrusive images of disastrous futures to avoid or past experiences never wanted to be repeated. Perhaps you have an extremely pessimistic internal critic that expects the worst out of you, others, and/or the world. Finally, there may be specific people, places, or situations that trigger overwhelming anxiety that impair your effectiveness and wellbeing. I utilize individually tailored, yet evidence-based practices to address anxiety in the following ways: 1) first develop a shared understanding of the source of your distress and type of anxiety you are dealing with. 2) develop skills to manage impairing anxiety when triggered to provide short-term relief. 3) Finally, utilize strategies to more deeply understand the sources of your anxiety in order to provide longer-term resilience so that times that previously provoked the anxious feelings no longer have the same impact in the first place.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Anxiety and fears are areas where hypnotherapy can have a profound impact. Through the power of suggestion and the exploration of the subconscious mind, hypnotherapy helps individuals confront and release the deep-rooted causes of their anxiety and fears. This therapeutic process begins with a state of deep relaxation, allowing clients to access their subconscious mind where negative thoughts and behaviors often originate.

Gerry Letendre
Hypnotherapist, RPh, MBA, CHt
Many people experience anxiety or fears that don’t respond well to logic, reassurance, or willpower alone. These reactions are often driven by subconscious patterns that were learned over time and continue automatically, even when they are no longer helpful. Hypnosis provides a practical way to work with those patterns at their source.
My approach to hypnosis for anxiety and fears is personalized and collaborative. Drawing on decades of healthcare experience, I tailor each session to the individual rather than using scripted techniques. Together, we focus on calming the nervous system, reducing anticipatory worry, and helping the mind develop new, more adaptive responses to stressors and triggers.
Clients often seek hypnosis for generalized anxiety, situational anxiety, phobias, health-related fears, and performance-related fears. Hypnosis can be especially helpful when anxiety persists despite understanding its irrational nature. Sessions are conducted in a calm, supportive environment where clients remain aware and in control throughout the process.
Hypnosis is offered as a drug-free, complementary approach and is not a replacement for medical or mental health care. When appropriate, it can work alongside other professional treatment to help restore a greater sense of calm, confidence, and emotional balance.

Emily Hurlin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LISW, LCSW
Anxiety often lives in the body first: a tight chest, racing thoughts, a constant sense that something is about to go wrong. Along with talking through what worries you, I use body-based tools from Somatic Experiencing to help your nervous system learn what safety feels like again. When anxiety is rooted in past experiences, EMDR can help reduce its intensity. For couples, we also look at how one partner's anxiety and the other's response can feed each other, and how to interrupt that cycle.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for anxiety, panic attacks, chronic stress, excessive worry, and nervous system overwhelm. Many high-achieving professionals, business owners, caregivers, and driven individuals silently struggle with anxiety while continuing to perform at a high level in work, relationships, and daily responsibilities. Over time, chronic anxiety can lead to emotional exhaustion, difficulty relaxing, sleep problems, irritability, panic symptoms, burnout, and a constant feeling of being “on edge.”
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to anxiety treatment, helping clients understand and address the deeper emotional and neurological patterns contributing to anxiety symptoms. Anxiety often develops from unresolved trauma, chronic stress exposure, attachment wounds, perfectionism, high-pressure environments, or painful life experiences that continue to activate the nervous system long after the original events occurred.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, mindfulness-based approaches, and holistic therapeutic methods to help clients reduce anxiety, process emotional triggers, and restore a greater sense of calm, clarity, and control.
Therapy focuses on identifying the root causes of anxiety rather than only managing symptoms. Clients work to better understand emotional triggers, reduce nervous system hyperactivation, improve coping strategies, and develop healthier emotional and relational patterns that support long-term emotional wellness.
Brad works collaboratively with clients to create an individualized treatment plan tailored to their personal goals, lifestyle demands, and emotional needs. Therapy provides a confidential, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where clients can safely explore the factors contributing to stress, anxiety, panic, or emotional overwhelm while building practical strategies for lasting change.
Many successful individuals become trapped in cycles of overthinking, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or constant productivity that leave little room for rest, emotional connection, or peace of mind. Brad’s approach helps clients move beyond survival mode and regain a healthier balance emotionally, mentally, and relationally.
The goal of therapy is not simply to reduce anxiety symptoms, but to help clients restore emotional stability, improve relationships, strengthen resilience, and create a more grounded, balanced, and fulfilling life.
Virtual counseling and online EMDR therapy sessions are available, providing confidential and convenient access to specialized trauma-focused therapy from the comfort and privacy of home.

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Anxiety and fear often carry a history. They can point to old conflicts and to patterns we learned early in our relationships, and we often feel them in the body before we know what they are about. I’m interested in what your anxiety is about, when it shows up, and how it affects closeness and desire. I work psychoanalytically, and I draw on hypnosis and awareness of the body.
