Dr. Colby Cohen-Archer
Psychologist, PhD
Feeling keyed up, exhausted, and unable to just be present? Anxiety can creep into our lives in so many ways. From a racing mind keeping you up at night, to second guessing every decision, to avoiding social situations, anxiety likes to take control and run your life, often making it smaller in the process. I work collaboratively with you to take your power back in your life, learn strategies to calm your body and mind, and find ways to gain back meaning and purpose.

Inner World Counseling Services PLLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Anxiety doesn't always look like panic; often, it looks like over-functioning, perfectionism, and a driving need to keep the peace. I specialize in working with adults who look entirely put together on the outside but are quietly drowning in chronic worry, an unstoppable inner critic, and a brain that refuses to 'turn off' at night. Together, we look beneath the surface to understand how your anxiety is tied to your nervous system and past survival habits. Utilizing tools from EMDR, CPT, and cognitive approaches, we will work to quiet the mental chatter, tame the fear of letting others down, and help you find genuine, lasting calm

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
Many high functioning adults live with a level of anxiety that no one around them would ever guess. You may appear steady and capable while privately managing a nervous system that feels overworked: racing thoughts, tension you cannot unwind, irritability, or a constant sense that you need to stay “on” to keep life moving. Anxiety often shows up not as panic, but as overthinking, emotional shutdown, or feeling like you are bracing for something you cannot quite name. In therapy, we slow down enough to understand what your anxiety is protecting, what it anticipates, and what it has learned from years of carrying more than your internal resources could comfortably hold. We look at the patterns that once helped you cope, such as staying ahead of everything, taking on too much, or managing others’ needs, and how those same strategies may now be costing you ease, connection, or a sense of yourself. Our work helps you recognize the early signals in your body, understand the emotional logic beneath your reactions, and build a more supportive internal rhythm. This is not about eliminating fear. It is about reducing the burden of managing everything alone and creating a life that does not require constant vigilance to maintain.

Dr. Mike Lee
Psychologist
I support individuals in understanding anxious states and fear, easing distress, and cultivating a steadier way of living. The work is depth-informed and collaborative: we take time to study what is happening on the surface and underneath, then turn that clarity into workable steps. The aim is durable change—less reactivity, more steadiness and choice, and a life that can hold uncertainty without being overwhelmed.

Jennifer Whaley
Psychologist, PsyD
Anxiety can make life extremely limited in what you can or want to do. It is our human nature to want to avoid; however, this most often takes us further away from the life you desire. I use a CBT approach of exploring your fears and responses while gaining confidence through practicing actions. My main focus areas are health anxiety, OCD, agoraphobia, and panic.

Chad T. Allen
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MA, LPCC
I am a psychoanalyst in private practice in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area, where I work with adults experiencing anxiety, persistent worry, and fears that may feel difficult to control or fully understand. From a psychoanalytic and psychodynamic perspective, anxiety is often more than a symptom to be reduced; it can be a signal of underlying emotional conflicts, pressures, or experiences that have not yet found clear expression.
My work is grounded in the belief that emotional difficulties often have meanings that are not immediately apparent, and that lasting change develops through careful attention to one’s inner experience over time. Therapy provides a space to slow down, speak freely, and explore the thoughts, feelings, and relational patterns that contribute to anxiety, allowing a deeper understanding of how these experiences have developed and how they continue to shape one’s life.
As this understanding grows, anxiety often becomes less overwhelming and more understandable, creating greater freedom in how one responds to fear and uncertainty. I also work with couples who wish to better understand how anxiety and emotional patterns may affect communication, closeness, and the experience of intimacy within relationships.

Jennifer Masters
Life Coach, Ba Psychology, CF Thanatology, D Kessler – Grief Grief Coach Certif,M Devine – Grief Coach Certif
Anxiety and fear is a common part of grief because death is random - it just don't make sense to the griever. Death of someone special can make the world feel unsafe, untrustworthy, unpredictable, and out of control. After someone dies, many grievers begin waiting for the next bad thing to happen. A child is five minutes late, a partner does not answer the phone, a friend didn't call when they said they would, or someone they love seems unwell, and their mind immediately goes to the worst possible outcome.
I support adults who are experiencing grief-related anxiety, racing thoughts, fear, panic, overwhelm, and the feeling that they cannot trust life anymore. I explain why these reactions make sense after loss, especially when a death felt sudden, unfair, traumatic, or impossible to accept. I also provide practical tools to help clients manage anxious thoughts, calm their nervous system, cope with triggers, and live with grief without feeling controlled by fear.

Brent Peak
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Anxiety can feel like you’re constantly bracing for impact, even when nothing is wrong. You overthink conversations, anticipate rejection, and struggle to relax, as if the weight of responsibility and others' expectations never stops pressing down. Maybe your mind races at night, replaying mistakes or worrying about things beyond your control. You’ve learned to stay on high alert—not because you want to, but because your nervous system never learned how to feel safe. If you grew up in an environment where love felt conditional, emotions were dismissed, or conflict meant danger, it makes sense that your brain adapted to expect the worst.
But you don’t have to live this way forever. Anxiety isn’t just in your mind—it’s in your body, shaped by old survival patterns that no longer serve you. Using Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Post-Induction Therapy (PIT), I help clients reprocess past wounds so their nervous system can finally relax. Instead of just managing symptoms, we teach your brain and body that you are safe now—so you can stop living in survival mode, set boundaries without guilt, and trust yourself again. Therapy isn’t about forcing yourself to “calm down”—it’s about healing the root cause so peace becomes your new normal.
