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.

Sarah Jacques
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSWC-C
Anxiety often shows up as constant “what if” thinking, racing thoughts, and a body that never feels at rest. It can feel like you’re always on high alert, unable to fully relax or enjoy the present moment. I help clients develop coping tools rooted in mindfulness, ACT, and DBT skills to quiet the noise, calm the body, and build confidence in handling uncertainty. Therapy provides a safe space to step out of the cycle of fear and move toward a life that feels steadier and more free.

Nathan Duff
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed., LPC (CCTP, CYMHS, C-DBT, C-PD)
I've seen a surge in anxiety disorders since COVID that doesn't seem to be slowing down whether leaving many people struggling with heightened fears, worries, and a sense of uncertainty. If you haven't seen the new Inside Out movie, it does a great job illustrating both the value of anxiety and how it can take over and cause chaos. A key part of managing anxiety is recognizing when your concerns are valid versus when your brain is running away with you. In our work together, we’ll focus on building awareness of this difference, helping you regain control and find balance.

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.
