Together, we’ll explore both the underlying roots of these experiences and the patterns that keep them going in the present. Using a blend of insight-oriented and practical approaches, I help clients build tools to manage anxious thoughts and physical symptoms, while also developing a deeper sense of confidence, safety, and trust in themselves.

Susana Scotti, Journey Psychotherapy
Psychologist, PhD
Anxiety can be incredibly difficult to live with because it affects not just how you feel, but how you think, relate, and move through the world. It can create a sense of constant urgency or threat, even when things are objectively okay. Your mind may race ahead to worst-case scenarios, while your body stays in a heightened state of tension or alertness. Over time, this can become exhausting and discouraging, especially when it feels hard to “turn off” or control. As a licensed psychologist specializing in trauma, mood disorders and addiction, I offer compassionate, evidence-based treatment for anxiety that goes beyond short-term symptom relief. Using a tailored, trauma-informed, approach that may include exposure therapy, cognitive-behavioral strategies, insight-oriented therapy, and relaxation skills, I help clients build practical tools while also exploring the emotional and developmental origins of their anxiety. My goal is to support you in feeling not just less anxious, but more grounded, confident, and able to engage fully in your life.

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.

Salvadore Coaching LLC
Life Coach, Holistic Life Coach, Certified Breathwork Instructor, Certified Hypnotist
Anxiety and fear often show up as protection—overthinking, avoidance, reassurance-seeking, procrastination, or a constant scanning for what might go wrong. While these strategies can bring short-term relief, they can also shrink our lives over time. In our work, we focus on changing your relationship to anxiety so it becomes something you can understand and work with, rather than something that controls your choices. We don’t dismiss the threat anxiety is responding to; we widen the lens to include what anxiety might be trying to protect—and what it may be inviting you to reclaim.
Together, we seek to slow the pace of the nervous system, identify triggers and patterns, and build practical tools that support emotional regulation and steadier decision-making. We also explore what anxiety may be pointing toward—values, unmet needs, boundaries, or important risks worth taking. The goal isn’t simply to feel less anxious, but to live more freely and move toward what genuinely matters.

Dr. Israel Martinez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST, PhD
My therapy services are designed to address the unique emotional and psychological challenges that gay men often face. Growing up and living in systems that stigmatize and marginalize us can lead to anxiety, depression, trauma, shame, and isolation. I offer a safe, affirming space where you can explore these experiences, find healing, and build resilience.
Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma
Gay men experience higher rates of anxiety, often rooted in rejection, discrimination, and past trauma. Together, we’ll identify the sources of stress and use evidence-based strategies to reduce symptoms, improve mood, and restore balance. For those healing from trauma or PTSD, therapy offers a supportive environment to heal from painful memories and regain a sense of safety and control.
Building Confidence and Managing Stress
Stigma and chronic stress can undermine the ability to feel safe. My approach focuses on strengthening self-esteem, developing healthy coping tools, and helping you cultivate self-compassion and confidence.
My Approach
I use a client-centered, affirming approach that validates your experiences while empowering you to grow. With years of experience working with gay men’s mental health, I integrate proven therapeutic methods to support you in creating lasting change and living more fully and authentically.
