I am also trained in Exposure Response Prevention therapy and Inference Based CBT, which are the most effective treatments for OCD. Very few therapists in Iowa have this specialized training and experience for this disorder.

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.

Anxiety can feel overwhelming—like your mind won’t slow down or your body is always bracing for something. I help clients understand the root of their anxiety while building practical tools to regulate their nervous system and shift unhelpful thought patterns. Using approaches like EMDR, somatic work, and parts-based therapy, we work together to create a sense of safety, clarity, and confidence so anxiety no longer runs the show.

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.

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
Fear is a universal human experience. It can either serve us or immobilize us. In my holistic life coaching practice, I have amassed tools, methods, and approaches to harnessing fear for our empowerment. I am always excited to share these resources as so much in our culture and day-to-day lives drives fear and anxiety. It's difficult to get through a day without our flight-or-flight response being triggered. While fear never goes away (and it shouldn't—we need it for informed decision making), we can acknowledge, manage, and utilize fear to our benefit. Excited to share with you. I am NOT offering therapy; our work together will not focus on the failings of the past or finding a mental diagnosis because I believe you are whole, resourceful and creative as you are, right now. Our work will be to find the tools that work for you to get the life you want.

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Anxiety and fears often reflect deeper emotional conflicts and relational patterns formed early in life. My work integrates psychoanalytic approaches, hypnosis, and somatic awareness to explore how fear lives in both the mind and the body. Through this depth-oriented process, patients develop greater emotional regulation, self-understanding, and a more grounded sense of safety.

Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
Whether is social anxiety, climate or eco-anxiety, attachment anxiety, or another form, I hear you. We are in unprecedented times of both social pressure and information overload. I live with intergenerational anxiety, and I share techniques to honor its wariness and have a calmer and more fun life. They can include guided imagery, breathing techniques, earth grounding, and more. But you may have heard about these before. The trick isn't knowing about them, it's finding a connection to what actually works for you when you need it- and that is what we discover.

Addicts are often scared of giving up the only thing that seems to be getting them through their lives - and the families are anxious and fearful that something terrible will happen to the addict they love. This kind of life is full of fear and anxiety - and this can change for everyone.

Jay Shaw
Hypnotherapist, CHt (Certified Hypnotherapist)
Anxiety is an identity pattern, not a life sentence. Most anxiety treatment teaches you to manage the feeling I work to eliminate the subconscious trigger generating it. Through clinical hypnotherapy and Identity 2.0 reprogramming, we locate the root belief structure driving the anxiety response and replace it. Dallas-area and virtual sessions available.
