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.

Wayne G. Siegel, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, Clinical Psychology
Anxiety isn’t always loud—it can show up as relentless overthinking, perfectionism, or the quiet dread of “what if.” Whether you're managing high-functioning anxiety, panic episodes, or chronic worry that’s begun to interfere with sleep, relationships, or decision-making, I offer a structured, research-backed approach to help you regain clarity and control.
My treatment integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), and the Unified Protocol to address both the symptoms and the underlying patterns that sustain anxiety. We’ll explore how your thoughts, behaviors, and core beliefs interact—and develop practical tools to interrupt the cycle. For clients with obsessive worry or rumination, I also offer targeted interventions, including Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT) and Response Prevention.
Therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your strengths. Whether you're a healthcare professional, entrepreneur, or someone navigating a major life transition, we’ll build a roadmap that supports both immediate relief and long-term resilience.

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.

Lauro Guzman
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LCSW
Anxiety is a feeling of unease, such as worry or fear, that can be mild or severe, often caused by negative thinking. I use cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and correct these negative thoughts and beliefs. The idea is that if you change the way you think, you can change the way you feel.

Dayna Nelson, PsyD, LP
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
Anxiety is one of the most common presenting problems in Dr. Nelson's practice. When it comes to treating anxiety disorders, research shows that therapy is usually the most effective option. That’s because anxiety therapy – as opposed to anxiety medication – treats more than just symptoms to the problem. Therapy can help to uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears, learn how to relax, look at situations in a new, less frightening way, and develop better coping mechanisms and problem-solving skills.

Carrie Jones, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LifeVision Counseling, LLC
Anxiety can include several symptoms including feeling nervous or restless, worrying about the future, having difficulty concetrating, having a sense of impending danger, and can include physical symptoms such as sweating and increased heart-rate. Sometimes, anxiety can stem from fear of making a new choice or changing your reality. Anxiety can be a problem when it feels out of proportion to the actual circumstance or becomes difficulty to manage. Therapy helps you explore and evaluate the possible causes of these feelings and provides support as you learn and practice new method of addressing and reducing the anxiety. Some methods include practicing mindfulness, grounding exercises, guided imagery, and journaling.

Courtney Crooks
Psychologist, PhD, CTMH, CCTP
Through brief or long term psychodynamic/psychoanalytic approaches using empirically-supported methods, I work with each patient to identify core themes and repetitions linked to their unique life experiences that lead to undesired manifestations of anxiety in their present daily lives, including those caused by stressful relationship patterns. Over time, the insight and reflection about your anxiety response that we will practice in our sessions, will encourage a sense of personal agency over one's own life and positive long-term change.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I will address anxiety and fears by integrating psychological techniques with Christian principles to provide a comprehensive and faith-based approach. I will guide you in understanding that it is normal to experience fear but emphasize relying on their faith to navigate through challenges. Prayer, meditation on scripture, and the cultivation of a strong spiritual foundation are often incorporated to promote a sense of peace and trust in God's plan. Cognitive-behavioral strategies may be employed to identify and challenge negative thought patterns contributing to anxiety. Encouragement to surrender worries to God and trust in His guidance is a common theme, aligning with Christian teachings on casting anxieties onto the Lord. Through this integrative approach, you are supported in managing anxiety in a manner that is consistent with their Christian beliefs while fostering mental and emotional well-being.

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.

Therapy can help you better understand your anxiety, identify patterns that keep it going, and develop practical tools to manage it.
