Best Therapies, Inc.
Therapist
Anxiety is one of the most common presenting problems for people coming into therapy. Work pressures, families and relationships, reading the news, and the dumpster fire that is social media can all be sources of stress. For folks with anxiety, severe stress can trigger anything from rumination and worry to panic attacks.

As a therapist, I pride myself on offering a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can openly express their thoughts and emotions. Through active listening and empathy, I aim to create a supportive environment that fosters healing and personal growth.

Nefertiti Nowell
Therapist, Dr.
Seeking help is a powerful step to improving your quality of life. Talking to someone about whatever your concerns are is something that almost anyone can benefit from, but many people are afraid to reach out. If you are considering therapy or coaching, I applaud you, and I really do want to help you find what you need to feel POWERFUL and help you develop the tools to have peace in your life.
I enjoy working with diverse clients, and have treated patients on the inpatient as well as outpatient basis. I began providing therapy in 1996, and have worked full time in several local hospitals before deciding to work full time in outpatient private practice. Though I work with many populations, I enjoy helping individuals with issues of trauma as well as working with couples. I work with all age ranges and have helped clients with a range of diagnosis. I use a variety of techniques, including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR. I am also a Certified Hypnotist and a trained mediator.

Dr. Adam Shafer
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
When we feel scared, we need others to be a place of refuge so that we feel less alone.
Rick Rodgers
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LCSW, CADC, CCTP, RYT 500
Anxiety and fear is often created by trauma. Fear of the future fear the unknown is connected to the mind. I help separate you from the mind through meditation and evidence based therapies. You can get to the point where you can quiet the mind and observe the mind rather than be connected and be wrapped up in fear.

Ashley Miller Nolan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) has proved revolutionary for me and many clients I have worked with on reshaping our relationship to anxiety and fears from one of trying to avoid or control it OR be overwhelmed and drowned by it to one of acceptance and management of it. This latter way of relating to any unpleasant thought or feeling allows us to continue to thrive and be present for life even while we are experiencing it.
