We feel anxious because there are things we are avoiding. I approach anxiety with a combination of CBT, exposure, and mindfulness to explore what it is you might be avoiding and how you can safely reverse that cycle of avoidance.

Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
Anxiety looks a little different in all of us and finds its foothold based on a variety of factors: genetics, early experiences, current stressors, and social discomfort, to name a few. For some people it is utterly debilitating in one or more domains of life and for others it’s an unpleasant refrigerator hum that dampens an otherwise well-lived life.
Therapy can help you both regulate the intensity of anxiety and make a pivot in how you respond to its presence, making way for less struggle and more opportunities for choosing how you want to live.

Dr. Kevin Goldberg
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Anxiety and fear is our body's physiological reaction that "something is wrong." Sometimes it is important to look at what is wrong and to make sense of what our body is trying to tell us.
