"It's normal to feel anxious from time to time, especially if your life is stressful. However, excessive, ongoing anxiety and worry that are difficult to control and interfere with day-to-day activities may be a sign of generalized anxiety disorder. It's possible to develop generalized anxiety disorder as a child or an adult. Generalized anxiety disorder has symptoms that are similar to panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder and other types of anxiety, but they're all different conditions.
Living with generalized anxiety disorder can be a long-term challenge. In many cases, it occurs along with other anxiety or mood disorders. In most cases, generalized anxiety disorder improves with psychotherapy or medications. Making lifestyle changes, learning coping skills and using relaxation techniques also can help." - Mayo Clinic

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Many complain of feeling nervous or anxious, but few understand how severe anxiety can be debilitating and life-altering. Even if it's just occasional fears or specific phobias, some things can be done to help alleviate these concerns. It's important that anxiety is treated as it's often a symptom of other issues in your life and relationships and therapy can help you understand why it happens and how to improve the outcomes.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
Many high functioning adults live with a level of anxiety that no one around them would ever guess. You may appear steady and capable while privately managing a nervous system that feels overworked: racing thoughts, tension you cannot unwind, irritability, or a constant sense that you need to stay “on” to keep life moving. Anxiety often shows up not as panic, but as overthinking, emotional shutdown, or feeling like you are bracing for something you cannot quite name. In therapy, we slow down enough to understand what your anxiety is protecting, what it anticipates, and what it has learned from years of carrying more than your internal resources could comfortably hold. We look at the patterns that once helped you cope, such as staying ahead of everything, taking on too much, or managing others’ needs, and how those same strategies may now be costing you ease, connection, or a sense of yourself. Our work helps you recognize the early signals in your body, understand the emotional logic beneath your reactions, and build a more supportive internal rhythm. This is not about eliminating fear. It is about reducing the burden of managing everything alone and creating a life that does not require constant vigilance to maintain.

Dr. Linda G. Ritchie, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., LPC, LMFT, Certified Hypnotherapist
If you struggle with anxiety or fear, you may feel like your mind just won’t turn off—constantly anticipating what could go wrong, overthinking situations, or feeling on edge even when there’s no clear reason. You might avoid certain situations, lose sleep, or feel physically tense and exhausted from trying to stay in control. Even when you know your fear doesn’t make sense, it can still feel very real in your body.
I help clients understand and change the patterns that drive anxiety at both the conscious and unconscious levels. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we identify and restructure the thought patterns that keep anxiety going. With clinical hypnosis, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping), and NLP, we work more deeply to calm the nervous system and rewire the automatic fear responses that feel out of your control. I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you step out of the struggle with anxiety and respond to life in a way that is grounded, flexible, and aligned with what matters most to you.
What’s often missing isn’t insight—you may already understand that your anxiety is excessive or irrational. What’s missing is a way to retrain your brain and body so that your reactions actually change. Without that deeper shift, anxiety continues to show up automatically, regardless of how much you try to “think your way out of it.”
The fact that you’re here suggests you’re ready for something different. If you’re willing to learn a new way of responding, I can help you reduce anxiety, face situations with greater confidence, and feel more calm, present, and in control of your life.

Tricia Mazza
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Anxiety often shows up as constant overthinking, second-guessing yourself, and feeling responsible for keeping everything—and everyone—okay. For many women, this is deeply connected to relationship patterns where you’ve had to anticipate others’ needs, walk on eggshells, or stay hyper-aware of shifting moods. Over time, this can create a sense of internal pressure, emotional exhaustion, and difficulty trusting your own judgment. In our work, we focus on understanding where this anxiety comes from and helping you respond with clarity and grounded self-trust instead of self-doubt.

Amanda Shrekenhamer
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC
The goal of working on your anxiety in therapy is to feel more relaxed in situations where you might usually feel overwhelmed or panicked. We do this by identifying the underlying thoughts, emotions, and stressors contributing to the anxiety, and then develop ways to cope so that you feel relief from your symptoms.
Doing this work can feel scary, as even the discomfort of anxiety can feel more comfortable than the unknown. With that in mind, I strive to create a safe an accepting space, where we work together at whatever pace that you need.

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.

Heather Clifft
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Anxiety is a normal human stress response. However, those who struggle with an anxiety based disorder may feel as though they are anxious or worried all or most of the time. Racing thoughts, uncontrollable over-thinking, difficulty concentrating, and feelings of dread or impending doom, are but a few of the symptoms of anxiety. Since one one person experiences anxiety and panic in exactly the same way, we will develop a treatment plan specific to your needs. Through treating symptoms and alleviating the underlying causes, we can move you to a place of increased peace.

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.

Jami Saperstein Counseling, LLC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Is anxiety getting in the way of your true potential? When you look at the future, are you overwhelmed with dread or uncertainty? Do you worry that you’ll be alone forever and never enjoy fulfilling relationships? In addition to impacting your mental and relational health, anxiety can even create physical symptoms. You may suffer from headaches, stomach aches, shortness of breath, or panic attacks. Perhaps you can barely sleep because of how stressed out you are. In the midst of your struggles, you may ask: Why can’t I just feel normal? Why do I have to obsessively worry about every little thing?
