Anxiety
Dr. Ruth Viehoff
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP
I offer CBT-focused therapy to help you better cope with worry, anxiety, panic, and overwhelm. Often with anxiety, we start to avoid things that cause discomfort or unpleasant emotions. My goal is to help you re-engage with things you have stepped away from due to anxiety and panic. Through therapy, we'll work to understand how patterns of behavior can keep you stuck in anxiety spirals, and find a way forward where you can focus on the things that matter to you.

Kimberlee Zetocha Halverson
Psychologist, Ph.D, LP
I have extensive training and experience with behavior modification related to avoidance based fear/anxiety behaviors and habits. I have helped people effectively approach their fears and anxiety with the goal of improved functioning and quality of life.
The guidance that I'll provide you with helps build up the skills you need in your day-to-day life when making small and major decisions. I can help you achieve a better life balance. Learning when to pause and enjoy the moment, rather than stressing about what you did or didn’t do, or where you need to be or what you need to do next. People often have the tendency to let their past, patterns, or habits determine their present and future. I can help you find a way to roll with the waves of life in a more manageable way. There are unpredictable storms along the way, and I can provide the skills and tools for managing through the storms. I can help you find a new way to move forward in life rather than trying to anchor down in the storm. I can help you recognize that the tides tend to change, and you can find your way to calmer waters. I would love to help you find the right path forward for you on your journey.
I believe that nothing in life is truly just a mistake unless you learn nothing from it. Many of us learn things the best the hard way. These life lessons and experiences are where true wisdom can come from . I find that being straight forward with people in a kind, caring manner can lead to gains quicker. I don't judge people for choices made in the past, as our past helps us learn to grow and develop into what we hope to be. The potential for change is one of the greatest human abilities. When someone desires to change and decides to do it for themselves, then growth is always possible. Having a great therapist can be the missing key as to why change has been so hard in the past. Over my 15 years as a therapist, I learned that helping others be more intentional about life can be a game changer. If you are doubtful about your own change, I can be your confidence and I am always up for a challenge.

Anxiety
Dr. Daniel Cantor
Psychologist, Psy. D.
Anxiety informs you to be alert about something and is a natural aid for navigating life. If your experience is that your anxiety never gets quiet this may be connected to a history of trauma or specific vulnerabilities that we can help understand in order to reduce the intensity of your worries. In my practice I teach mindfulness as base of safety to approach anxiety safely and give you agency to overcome this obstacle.

Anxiety
Dr. Brian Sharpless
Psychologist, Ph.D., Clinical Psychology; M.A., Philosophy
Everyone has anxiety, at least once in a while. However, for some people it can be burdensome or even crippling. I have experience treating a number of anxiety disorders using both psychodynamic (e.g., Supportive-Expressive Therapy; Panic-Focused Psychodynamic Psychotherapy) and cognitive-behavioral therapies. These approaches may be augmented with aspects of existential therapy as well.

Anxiety
Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Clients with anxiety need to become familiar with their anxious parts in order to understand how to walk the line between appropriate accommodation and tackling avoidance strategies when they dominate. Children and families need to understand how to support challenging the constraints that anxiety can impose and how to push themselves to kindly move into the world less bogged down when anxiety dictates the terms.

Anxiety
Dr. Leigh Anne Randa
Psychologist, PhD
Treatment for anxiety and fear: Anxiety and fear are not necessarily negative emotions. When right sized, they have an important place in keeping us safe and urging us into action. However, often our anxiety and fear may become too big and too frequent, paralyzing us instead of benefiting us. Your emotions need not overwhelm you. Dr. Randa will work with you using evidence based therapy to help you resize these emotions.

Larry Nussbaum, LIFE JOURNEY CENTEER
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LSCSW, LISCW
Anxiety and fear starts as a protective reaction to some "perceived threat" in one's life. Understanding this can begin to loosen the stigma of "anxiety disorders". The problem occurs when it is not anxiety and fear itself but when it is turned up too loud. We can find ways to cultivate healthy fear and anxiousness.

Merritt Posten Benz
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSCSW, CDWF, MCLC
Anxiety, fears and depression often color our day to day and we can cope just fine. Then there are moments where we realize the moments where we feel "okay" and not dead or anxious are becoming less and less in our day and the sad and anxious thoughts are crowding us to the point where we feel trapped, suffocated and know that we must do something or it's only going to get worse. I'm here to tell you that it gets better and the fears you have are keeping you down and there is another side where you can be free, full and overcome that which feels overwhelming and inesapce right now.
I have the training and experience to not simply talk about how you feel and what you are anxious, scared and nervous about facing but implement an evidenced based plan that is proven to produce the results and freedom you desperately want. I completed post graduate clinical training at Yale University School of Medicine and received training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for anxiety and depression.

I will help you build tools to steady your nervous system and gradually face the situations you have been avoiding so your choices are guided more by what matters to you than by fear.

I help you understand how anxiety lives in the body and nervous system, not as a flaw, but as a protective response. Together, we work to gently calm the system, increase your sense of safety, and help you move from constriction and fear toward steadiness, confidence, and choice.

Anxiety can result from an insult to the psyche at an early age, a traumatic event, or a general sense of worry or concern about the future. We can tackle this by working on strategies to understand the meaning of anxiety and find skills to combat the stress of living with anxiety day after day.
