Johanna Wood, Leap Counseling and Consultation
Psychologist, PhD, LP
I specialize in exposure-based therapies for anxiety disorders. My clients typically have tried therapy before, but have not seen much improvement. They continue living in fear, anxiety, and guilt, as their lives continue getting smaller and smaller. Coping skills are great, but they can only get you so far. The good news is, there are science-backed treatments for anxiety that actually work. If you're ready to stop coping and start living, take a leap of faith and reach out.
My style is structured and balances use of the latest science with compassion and understanding. My goal is to make you feel heard, and feel challenged. I serve adults with primary anxiety and OCD, and I also address co-occurring depression, insomnia, body-focused repetitive behaviors, and trauma, using cognitive-behavioral therapies. You don't have to keep suffering this way.

In conducting counseling, I am fortunate to be able to choose from numerous resources including principles from Gottman's research, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Mars & Venus Counseling, Imago Therapy, Positive Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Systems Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Rogerian Therapy, Integrative Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Reality Therapy, Rational Emotive Therapy, Gestalt Techniques, NLP, and EMDR.

Restoration Counseling Ministries
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S
When anxiety is healthy, it alerts us to something of value being at risk. It is intended to motivate us to act to eliminate or reduce the risk. When it isn't resolved, it can become overwhelming and lead us to act in very illogical ways. Fortunately, it is resolvable!

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.

Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anxiety comes from the fear of getting hurt again or from the perpetual anxiety rooted in experiences of having been perpetually unsafe. In the first instance, the person fears that the source of their pain will happen again and tries to avoid it at all costs. In the second situation, the person looks out at the world and sees the worst possible scenario in everything. Regardless of what your anxieties or phobias are, we want you to know that you can overcome anxiety, emotionally stabilize, and regain control of your emotional and relational well being.

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.

Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
Sexual anxiety, performance fears, or the quiet worry that something is “wrong” with your desire or body can create distance in your relationship or within yourself. In a safe, non-judgmental space, we gently unpack where the anxiety comes from—whether it’s rooted in past experiences, shame, or repeating patterns—and help you rebuild confidence, presence, and pleasure. Many clients notice they can finally relax, communicate their needs more openly, and experience intimacy that feels good instead of pressured or scary.
