Dr. Michael M. Grant
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist PhD, MBA
If the experience of depression is "stuck in present pain" then the experience of anxiety is "fear of future pain". The core experience of anxiety is fear and fear is always about something in the future that we think is going to cause us pain as it gets closer and closer to the present moment and begins to become it.
We don't fear things that happened in the past...no need to fear them as they are past events. But, as we look at the future and as it becomes our present, we see what we think will hurt us and no one wants to hurt or feel pain. So, we begin to dread these things and the pain we think they will cause us. We begin to fear the experience of pain we are sure is going to happen.
The symptoms of any of the anxiety disorders include not only emotional fear and dread but also behavior: avoidance of the feared thing, attempts to dodge it, saying/doing things to protect oneself from this anticipated pain, etc.
Symptoms are also physiological: heart racing, sweating, feeling restless, fidgety, continuous chewing on thoughts about the feared thing in a vain attempt to "come at it from all angles" in our minds and so somehow lessen the impact we fear. We can also have gastrointestinal problems (the GI system is very sensitive to anxiety), problems sleeping, relationship problems, shallowness of breath, sexual functioning problems, and a host of other physical complaints.
There are some very specific tactics you can learn that will help you manage your anxiety and take your power back in a way that restores a sense of calm--and I can help you learn those tactics.

I use evidence based treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address anxiety disorders. Within the CBT model, there are specialized interventions for specific disorders and I make it my business to know the most empirically supported ones.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
From the perspective of Somatic Experiencing, anxiety can be a fight/flight response that hasn't fully settled. It can leave you with a feeling that something isn't quite right, and then your mind starts searching for reasons to feel that way. It's a vicious cycle.
We can work together to find ways to help your body 'complete' the unsettled fight/flight response so you can actually feel safer and more settled. Now your mind will be fresh and clear and better able to assess the situation and decide on a effective course of action.

Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
"What If" thoughts trigger anxiety and fears. Most "What If" thoughts never come true, yet you probably spend so much time ruminating on them. I teach you how to explore and challenge your "What If" thoughts by looking at the data or evidence to counter those negative stressful thoughts. I also teach you strategies to calm your body so that it can get out of the "fight or flight" state.

Jennifer L Abel
Psychologist, Ph.D.
This is my wheelhouse! The two most important things to know about anxiety is that it occurs in a spiral and that fighting it fuels it. That old adage the best way to overcome your fears is to face is true. But most people bite off more than they can chew and it only fuels the issue. My systematic approach works great.

I approach anxiety with a combination of CBT, exposure, and mindfulness to explore what it is you might be avoiding and how you can safely reverse that cycle of avoidance.

Phillip Thomas Stepka, PsyD.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
"Worry," "nervousness," "fear," "bad nerves," "stress"? Anxiety can mean many things to many different people. Some experience this unwanted state in the forms of body sensations such as digestive distress, racing heart, and/or feelings of suffocation that seemingly come randomly and without clear explanations. Others have intrusive images of disastrous futures to avoid or past experiences never wanted to be repeated. Perhaps you have an extremely pessimistic internal critic that expects the worst out of you, others, and/or the world. Finally, there may be specific people, places, or situations that trigger overwhelming anxiety that impair your effectiveness and wellbeing. I utilize individually tailored, yet evidence-based practices to address anxiety in the following ways: 1) first develop a shared understanding of the source of your distress and type of anxiety you are dealing with. 2) develop skills to manage impairing anxiety when triggered to provide short-term relief. 3) Finally, utilize strategies to more deeply understand the sources of your anxiety in order to provide longer-term resilience so that times that previously provoked the anxious feelings no longer have the same impact in the first place.

Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
Anxiety looks a little different in all of us and finds its foothold based on a variety of factors: genetics, early experiences, current stressors, and social discomfort, to name a few. For some people it is utterly debilitating in one or more domains of life and for others it’s an unpleasant refrigerator hum that dampens an otherwise well-lived life.
Therapy can help you both regulate the intensity of anxiety and make a pivot in how you respond to its presence, making way for less struggle and more opportunities for choosing how you want to live.

Memphis has among the highest rates of poverty and violent crime in the United States, and its therapists frequently specialize in trauma, PTSD, and the psychological effects of chronic community-level violence and economic stress. The city's African American community — which comprises a majority of the population and carries a rich cultural heritage rooted in blues, soul, and civil rights history — drives strong demand for culturally affirming therapists who understand racial trauma and intergenerational resilience. Regional One Health and Baptist Memorial Health Care provide major institutional mental health resources alongside a growing network of community clinics. Memphis's deep musical identity sustains a creative community with its own distinctive mental health needs around artistic expression, economic precarity, and the weight of legacy.
