Michelle Borowitz
Psychologist, PhD
When your brain feels like it just won't turn off, it can be hard to make decisions, feel present in the moment, or even fall asleep at night. Therapy with me can help you turn down the volume on the thoughts cluttering your mind, take action without overthinking, and find a sense of calm and peace. I use mindfulness tools to help clients feel present in the here and now, which helps them reduce worries about the future. When it comes to anxiety or fears about specific situations, I work with clients to develop a plan including exposure and acceptance strategies to increase comfort when appropriate and reduce the mental energy fear is taking in your brain. Over time, you will find your perspective shifting and an increased sense of calm rather than a constant storm.

Jay Shaw
Hypnotherapist, CHt (Certified Hypnotherapist)
Anxiety is an identity pattern, not a life sentence. Most anxiety treatment teaches you to manage the feeling I work to eliminate the subconscious trigger generating it. Through clinical hypnotherapy and Identity 2.0 reprogramming, we locate the root belief structure driving the anxiety response and replace it. Dallas-area and virtual sessions available.

Dr. Qatana Samanen
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I work with my clients using a variety of approaches to relieve their anxiety and overcome fears and phobias.
We use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you identify the underlying thoughts that create anxiety and replace them with beliefs that lead to greater calm and mastery.
Using desensitization techniques we can retrain your nervous system so that you can experience calm, peaceful feelings in situations that once provoked fear and anxiety. You find that you can comfortably and effectively engage in these activities free of anxiety and fear.
We can use Interactive Imagery to return to any traumatic event in your past that contributes to the anxiety or fear. Viewing these experiences from a different perspective provides healing and transformation, freeing you to let go of your fears and anxieties and live a calmer, more satisfying life.

HUGH R STEWART III
Hypnotherapist, Ph.D., ACHt.
I am an expert on anxiety and fear. I had Panic Disorder back in 1991. It was not pleasant with 3 trips to the emergency wards thinking I was having a heart attack. I was just starting to get involved with meditation, which in retrospect, made the anxiety worse. Then I discovered Breathwork. I found when I went into a deep Theta brainwave state that I could meditate fine after the breathwork session. Breathing from the diaphragm and belly help to reduce anxiety and fear. Holistic Integrated Breathing (HIB) also can lower blood pressure. Fear has often been referred as False Evidence Appearing Real. That is true most of the time with psychological fear. Psychological fear is coming from the past and is not usually real in the present moment. Physical fear on the other hand, jumping out of the way of a car, is real and we react to keep ourselves safe. I help and teach skills to determine and distinguish the difference between physical fear and psychological fear. Anxiety can be managed quite well when one learns how to do it. In Hypnotherapy we often have to extinguish fear from the past in our sessions for specific events that cause fight or flight. Anxiety is living in the future with all its unknowns.

Anxiety may be a signal from our bodies and minds that something from our past needs to be resolved, or that something in our current life situation needs to be better understood.

Stephanie Miodus
Psychologist, PhD, NCSP
I help children, teens, and young adults manage anxiety, phobias, and fears using evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure therapy. These treatments are designed to gradually build confidence and reduce avoidance by helping individuals face their fears in manageable, supportive steps. I also work closely with parents using SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions), a parent-based approach that empowers families to respond in ways that reduce anxiety over time, even if the child is not ready for therapy themselves. Whether the anxiety shows up as school refusal, separation issues, health fears, or specific phobias, I tailor support to each family’s needs with compassion and clarity.

Psychologist, Florida Licensed Psychologist PY4914, APIT Certified
Cognitive behavioral therapy to identify the triggers and work through reducing anxiety.
44 Years Experience
Online in Pittsburgh, PA
Pittsburgh's post-steel identity brings civic pride alongside the lingering mental health effects of industrial decline, with therapists frequently addressing grief, economic anxiety, and intergenerational family dynamics rooted in its working-class heritage. The city's medical landscape is anchored by UPMC — one of the largest health systems in the country — and the University of Pittsburgh, both of which maintain extensive mental health training programs and community clinics. Pittsburgh has a growing creative and tech economy attracting young professionals, creating demand for therapists who work with identity, career transitions, and the particular stress of building a life in a city undergoing reinvention. Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, and the South Hills are among the neighborhoods with the strongest concentrations of private practices.
