Are you overwhelmed, stressed out, and unhappy? Does it feel like no matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to be happy? Are you struggling with feeling sad and anxious all the time?
Many individuals experience some variation of anxiety or anxious symptoms. Some people have managed their symptoms and it hasn’t been an issue; until it is. The question is how debilitating it is, how it is handled and resolved.
You can expect that therapy will include an exploration to understand the specific symptoms you experience as well as a timeline of the onset of symptoms. It may be something you remember being a problem from since day 1, or it may have started following a difficult time in your life, where it was overwhelming and stressful to cope with day to day life. We will work to uncover the source of the thoughts that lead you to feel the way you do.
Oftentimes, you may also be experiencing what feels like depression, which it might be. Sometimes though, anxious feelings can actually propel and create depressive symptoms. You may also be experiencing difficulty with your self-esteem. Self-esteem affects relationships, motivation, and often is a significant symptom in individuals with anxiety and depression.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidenced based treatment which explores the connection between thoughts, feelings and behavior. We can rewire the brain and disconnect from having a negative default setting, and create new pathways with positive self-talk and specific steps to reach your goals. Many of my clients share that they have been able to feel a significant shift in their mindset through utilizing CBT and clearly state that therapy has changed their life.

Dr. Brian Weir
Psychologist, PsyD
If you are suffering from anxiety, I can help! Anxiety keeps us from living a full life, it can badly effect our performance and pays a toll on our body. Many people become so used to their anxiety that they may think it not a symptom, but rather their personality. For this reason, they may even resist change because it doesn't feel authentic to their personality. Fortunately I have many tools and skills to address your anxiety and help you quite your anxious thoughts so you can hear, feel, and experience who you really are without anxiety calling the shots.

Kristina Peck
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Anxiety has a sneaky way of hijacking your thoughts, draining your energy, and convincing you that everything is a bit more catastrophic than it probably is. Whether it shows up as constant worry, racing thoughts, sleepless nights, or that uncomfortable tightness in your chest, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to stay stuck.
With nearly 20 years of experience as a licensed psychologist, I help clients understand and work with their anxiety—not just try to outrun it. Using mindfulness-based approaches, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and compassion-focused tools (with a dash of humor), we’ll explore what your anxiety is trying to tell you—and how to respond in a way that feels empowering instead of paralyzing.
You’ll learn how to ground yourself, create space from your thoughts, and reconnect with what matters most—even when anxiety tries to take the wheel. Fear might still visit (because hey, it’s human), but it doesn’t have to drive your life.
Let’s turn down the volume on anxiety and help you breathe a little easier.

Beth Janis
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Our bodies and brains are hardwired to take care of us, to look out for danger, and to alert us of anything that may go awry. But what do we do when our internal alarm systems have over-adapted and are now overactive? I work with clients in reframing their relationship with anxiety: to identify and navigate current stressors, to uncover their beliefs fueling their anxious cycles, to build their perceptions of self-efficacy in the face of stressors, and to lessen their fear of fear itself.

Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
Couples therapy can be a powerful space for easing anxiety—especially when worry, overthinking, conflict avoidance, or emotional disconnection begin affecting the relationship. Using evidence-based Gottman Method, therapy guides couples to understand their patterns that fuel stress and insecurity while building healthier communication, emotional safety, and trust. Partners learn practical tools to reduce reactivity, navigate difficult conversations with greater calm, and strengthen connection during times of uncertainty. As couples feel more supported and understood by one another, anxiety often becomes more manageable both within the relationship and individually. Feelings of anxiety and fears are welcomed into the therapy space to create understanding and build a path to healing.

Pharion Counseling, LLC
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC)
Coming from the education world, I have worked with hundreds of students and clients who have daily test anxiety. When I say test anxiety, I am associating that with "life" tests as well. I have been very successful in retraining clients in understanding what their brain is presenting to them as a "problem" or a "worry." It is my goal to build such a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients where they trust and believe that their therapy is being successful, because it is.

Amy L Gould
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC-S, NCC, CCMHC
Anxiety has become more prevalent in modern life that has led to social anxiety and isolation, and relational problems. Whether you are dealing with job insecurity, economic uncertainty, or anxiety about the future, counseling can help in a number of ways from learning to relate and share what is important to you, learning to use technology in more meaningful ways. In my approach, it is important to make tangible, concrete changes while also learning to communicate more effectively.

David Schaffer, MSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (WV), Licensed Independent Social Worker (OH)
I particularly like working with people who experience anxiety of all forms. The first area of anxiety I developed a special interest in is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It really strikes me how "crazy" people feel when they struggle with obsessive thoughts and the compulsions that go along with them. When you are able to help people change their reaction to their obsessive thoughts, it is remarkable the improvement they can experience.
I enjoy the whole range of anxiety disorders from the worry of generalized anxiety to the body focus of panic to the avoidance reminders of traumatic experiences from posttraumatic stress. It feels like this is an area where I understand people's experiences and where the ways I tend to work with people seem to make a difference, often very quickly.

Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with adults experiencing generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic, health anxiety, and specific fears, often clients who look calm and capable on the outside while managing significant internal pressure. My approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trained through the Beck Institute, which gives us a clear, structured way to understand what's driving your anxiety and build practical tools to manage it, rather than just talking around it. Many of my clients are high-achieving professionals, scientists, or first-generation Latinx adults whose anxiety is tied to perfectionism or the weight of navigating spaces that weren't built with them in mind. I offer sessions in English or Spanish.

South Psychology
Psychologist, PhD
South Psychology, based in Centennial, Colorado, specializes in providing evidence-based mental health therapy for individuals dealing with anxiety or fears. Their skilled clinicians employ a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and exposure and response prevention (ERP). Let’s delve into the details:
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP): ERP is a powerful technique used to treat anxiety disorders, particularly obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It aims to gradually reduce anxiety by exposing individuals to triggering stimuli or thoughts in a safe and controlled environment. Through repeated exposure, people become less physiologically aroused by these triggers, leading to habituation. The response prevention component teaches clients not to give in to compulsive behaviors, ultimately breaking the cycle of anxiety and avoidance.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): South Psychology integrates CBT principles to help clients understand and manage their anxious thoughts. By identifying cognitive distortions and challenging irrational beliefs, individuals learn healthier coping strategies. CBT equips them with practical tools to navigate anxiety-inducing situations, improve emotional regulation, and enhance overall well-being.
Optimizing Functioning: Beyond symptom reduction, South Psychology focuses on optimizing various aspects of life. Whether it’s excelling in school, advancing in a career, or nurturing social connections, their approach aims to empower clients to thrive despite anxiety or fears.
