Anxiety is often experienced as overwhelming fear accompanied by physical symptoms such as a pounding heart, sweating, and rapid breathing.

Joy Freilich
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LMHC
Life can be hard. Sometimes we have difficulty communicating with our partner, boss, children, or our parents. Sometimes we have difficulty adjusting to a new environment or new life circumstances. At times, we may feel stuck and unsure of how to make changes in our lives. Other times we may want to delve deeper and truly understand our motivations and desires. Sometimes we just need to feel heard and understood. Having an unbiased, non judgmental person to talk to can help.
Everyone feels anxious from time to time. Anxiety is the body's response to real or imagined danger. Sometimes anxiety occurs frequently and can be very distressing. When I work with clients who are experiencing anxiety I look to discover what is causing the anxiety while also helping my clients develop productive coping mechanisms.

Overwhelming feelings of anxiety and fear run rapid when you feel helpless in certain situations. While you sometimes have little or no control over situations, you can control how it affects you. It is all about how you think, which can change with a little help. Therapy is a good place to tackle your anxiety and fear. I would love to help you work through to and experience a new kind of freedom.

Allison Cordts - Sunrise Therapy for Mental Health
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A., LPC
i have been a licensed therapist providing therapy since 2014. As all therapists will tell you, this career is very rewarding and most of us love what we do - helping people. What makes me different is I am laser-focused on helping each and every client learn their own personal power and how they replace sadness and fear with joy and fulfillment. We'll do this by addressing your past trauma's, family dysfunction, as well as distorted thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that developed as a result of growing up and older in unhealthy relationships. Gaining awareness, changing these patterns, and learning effective coping skills, is key to stopping anxiety and depression from robbing you of the life you so desperately want and deserve.

Stephanie Featherston
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Div, MS, EdS,LPC
Life can feel scary and overwhelming. Feeling out of control can be terrifying. I believe we can work through those by understanding more about what fuels those fears and the resources we have to manage them. Often, the issue is not external but internal. Getting to know yourself better and trust that person can often help.

Dr. Ellen Brackup
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Did you know that anxiety can be the mind’s way of protecting itself from feelings that seem unacceptable? As therapy progresses, the hope is to develop the emotional muscle to sit with all of your feelings, without having to push them away and be anxious instead.
