Anxiety or Fears
Linda Friedman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Anxiety is something we all experience. It's just to what degree and how much distress it is causing you at any given time. High levels of anxiety can be debilitating to how well you are able to function day to day. I can help with not allowing your anxiety to get the best of you and live a more fulfilling life.

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.

Joy Rabon
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CCTP, CIMHP
I have never met a human being, or even an animal for that matter that hasn't experienced some form of anxiety, worry, or fear. These feelings are normal and instinctive and are designed to protect us from danger. However, those very feelings that are designed to protect us can become out of balance and interfere with how we see ourselves and others and in turn wreak havoc on our communication, relational dynamics, and ability to reach our desired goals and dreams. When this happens, it is helpful to have someone objective, supportive, experienced, and knowledgeable to assist us with getting such thoughts and feelings back in balance. As your therapist, I utilize a number of integrative therapeutic techniques to equip you with the skills needed to manage anxiety and put it in its rightful place while normalizing its existence and meaning and putting you back in control of your life.
