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.

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.

Julie Cochrane - Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Therapist
Hypnotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, RTT-T, Rewind Therapy Practitioner, Integration Coaching
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.

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.

Dr. Danielle Goodwin
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Anxiety is a normal emotion we all experience and can be helpful in some situations. However, one may need help when it is affecting your ability to do tasks you used to enjoy , work/school or relationships. Anxiety can be manifested as a specific fear, panic attacks or obsessive thoughts/compulsive behaviors. CBT is often used to assist with altering maladaptive behaviors and thoughts. Together, we can work on helping you to confront and overcome fears.

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.

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.
