For Anxiety or Fears, we want to help you feel grounded, resourced, and free.

We support you in building greater awareness and regulation so you can respond to stress with more choice and steadiness.

Do you often feel overwhelmed by worry, fear, or a constant sense of unease? Anxiety can be all-consuming, affecting your daily life and leaving you feeling trapped in a cycle of stress and tension. You might find it difficult to relax, concentrate, or even sleep, as your mind is always racing with “what if” scenarios.
I understand how debilitating anxiety can be. My approach to treating anxiety is both compassionate and integrative, focusing on the mind, body, and soul. Together, we will identify the root causes of your anxiety and develop effective strategies to manage and reduce it. Using a blend of holistic and synergistic techniques, we will create a personalized plan to help you achieve a calmer, more centered state of being.
In our sessions, you will find a safe and supportive space where you can explore your fears and worries without judgment. We will work on uncovering your inner strengths, building emotional resilience, and practicing mindfulness techniques to help you stay grounded in the present moment. My goal is to support you in finding relief from anxiety and guiding you towards a life of greater peace and balance.

Dr. Felicia Jackson
Psychologist, PhD
Anxiety can make it difficult to relax, make decisions, or feel comfortable with uncertainty. You might spend hours anticipating what could go wrong, seek reassurance, or avoid situations that feel uncomfortable. Therapy can help you change your relationship with worry and fear, build confidence in your ability to handle uncertainty, and gradually reclaim the time and energy that anxiety has been taking from you.

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.

Louisa Lombard
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LCPC
Anxiety, stress, overwhelm and overstimulation feel so difficult when you are in the thick of them, whether it's a general anxiety, social anxiety, health anxiety, postpartum anxiety. Life does not have to feel this hard and things can get much better. I use CBT and mindfulness strategies primarily to treat anxiety, as well as other modalities as needed, depending on what clients experience as the most supportive and effective. I'm also trained in treating OCD which, from my experience, is often missed and treated as anxiety. I am trained in two of the primary evidence based treatments for OCD, which are ERP and Inference-based CBT.

Rebecca Dudley
Psychologist, PhD
I provide a warm, personable, focused, and judgment-free space to work through presenting problems and find effective solutions. Each client has different needs, so I will meet you where you are, metaphorically, to help you feel and function better. I have a large "tool kit" of cognitive and behavioral tools to pull from so that we can collaboratively determine an individualized approach to treatment based on what we determine works best for you. I frequently work with individuals experiencing anxiety, and treatment often focuses on exploring and restructuring the persistent thought patterns that contribute to rumination and exploring coping strategies that may replace unhelpful existing behaviors.

Sarah Jacques
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSWC-C
Anxiety often shows up as constant “what if” thinking, racing thoughts, and a body that never feels at rest. It can feel like you’re always on high alert, unable to fully relax or enjoy the present moment. I help clients develop coping tools rooted in mindfulness, ACT, and DBT skills to quiet the noise, calm the body, and build confidence in handling uncertainty. Therapy provides a safe space to step out of the cycle of fear and move toward a life that feels steadier and more free.

Marnie Kahn
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, HeartMath Certified Practitioner
Anxiety can be a debilitating and painful experience, which can stop individuals from living and experiencing life at its fullest. I teach individuals how to become aware of their thoughts rather than be consumed and fused with them. I have found that people get so caught up in their anxiety provoking thoughts that they actually believe they are the thought, rather than being the person who is experiencing the thought. I teach people how to take back their life again!
Combining awareness with the HeartMaths tools of creating coherence teaches people how to shift out of negative and anxious mindsets and into more positive renewing feelings.

Gabrielle A. Morreale / Recovered and Restored
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A. LPC.
Anxiety is among the most prevalent mental health concerns in the United States, and its impact continues to grow across age groups and communities. Many people — especially women — live with constant worry, ongoing tension, or fears that feel disproportionate to the situations they face (NAMI). A combination of biological vulnerability, psychological patterns, and societal stressors can contribute to anxiety. Reaching out for support is not a weakness; it is a courageous step toward restoring calm, clarity, and a greater sense of control in your life.
At Recovered & Restored Eating Disorder Therapy Center, we provide focused and compassionate anxiety treatment for individuals struggling with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), panic disorder, and specific phobias. While we are widely recognized for our expertise in eating disorder recovery, our anxiety therapy services are comprehensive and available to anyone seeking support — whether or not eating concerns are part of their journey.

Stacey Hellman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C
Anxiety can be debilitating and scary in and of itself. An anxious person has a disregulated nervous system which needs to be addressed. While I am not an expert on specific phobias, I do know a lot of behavioral tools and techniques that can help manage anxiety in general. In more severe cases such as panic attacks or very debilitating anxiety, medication may be helpful to improve overall quality of life and day to day functioning. I don't prescribe medication but I can coordinate care with a doctor if needed. The techniques I use to mitigate symptoms of anxiety include specific breathing techniques and other body-centered tools that we can practice in session. Anxiety doesn't respond well to the client telling themself to "just calm down." Then it is up to the client to use these tools as much as possible on a daily basis in order to get the best results possible. Just like a medication, you can't just use a breathing technique one time and expect it to keep on working the next day. The nervous system is complicated and needs consistent soothing techniques in order to become more regulated. The more you practice the tools, the better they will work and the less anxious you will feel in general. When your nervous system is regulated, you are more resilient to stressful situations and are able to "bounce back" more quickly if you do get rattled.

Danielle Farabaugh
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I help clients understand how anxiety develops and how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. Together, we explore unhelpful thinking patterns and practice practical strategies to manage worry, such as challenging negative thoughts, using calming techniques, and gradually approach feared situations. I support clients as they build confidence and learn skills that make anxiety more manageable, empowering them to navigate daily life with greater calm, clarity, and control.

Anxiety is often the smoke, not the fire. The racing thoughts, the chest tightness, the 3am wake-ups and the constant scanning for what might go wrong are usually the surface expression of a pattern formed much earlier. Something the subconscious decided was a threat and never updated. RTT works by going back to that original moment and changing the meaning attached to it from an adult perspective. Once the root pattern updates, the surface symptoms tend to settle, often quickly. I work online via Zoom with adults around the world on generalised anxiety, performance anxiety, health anxiety and specific fears. A complimentary 20-minute discovery call is the place to start.
