Anxiety or Fears
Sophie Pierce
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I approach social anxiety through a relational and nervous system lens, recognizing that fear, self-consciousness, and avoidance often develop as protective responses to experiences of feeling unsafe, disconnected, or misunderstood. Therapy focuses on creating a space of relational safety where clients can better understand their responses, build confidence, and gradually develop a greater sense of comfort and connection in relationships and social situations.

Anxiety or Fears
Amy Guido
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
It can be hard to know how to respond to a child or partner when feeling unsure or uneasy in ways that grow person rather than the anxiety. There are things we do in the short run that comfort, but don't seem to lessen anxiety in the long run.
We'll look at the role of worry collaboratively finding more effective responses that build capabilities over time so you're moving toward who and what matters most to you.

Anxiety or Fears
Patricia Fahmy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Anxiety can feel exhausting, especially when it begins to affect your relationships, confidence, and sense of emotional security. You may find yourself overthinking conversations, worrying about how others feel about you, seeking reassurance, struggling with trust, fearing rejection, feeling overwhelmed by conflict, or pulling away when vulnerability feels uncomfortable. While these patterns can be frustrating, they often make sense in the context of past experiences and the ways you've learned to protect yourself. I help clients understand the deeper roots of their anxiety, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop healthier, more secure ways of relating to themselves and others.

Anxiety or Fears
Sumer Statler Aeed
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Fear while a fundamental human healthy response, often in our culture and times become instead something that becomes a stopper instead of a warning system in our lives. Learning to manage and use your central nervous system in ways that serve you, to respond instead of react, allow you to reduce and manage fears and allows them to go back to being a warning system instead of driving your life. We select and try on for you from a combination of CBT, somatic work, breathwork and Central Nervous System work and others. This allows you to have a unique system for you to manage fear and return to a balance of how your body's system is meant to be.

Anxiety or Fears
Claire Karakey
Therapist, LPC, MC
Fear and anxiety can be paralyzing. In therapy, I work with people to help better explore and identify their fears so they can walk through them. I often utilize EMDR to help "clear" or "neutralize" fears that are stopping people from living their best life. I treat people dealing with all kinds of anxiety such as social, PTSD, OCD, etc.

Anxiety or Fears
Cynthia A. Criss
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LPCC, CSAT
Anxiety and addiction often have a complex relationship. They can co-occur, with one exacerbating the other. Here's an overview of how they interrelate and some strategies for addressing both:
The Connection Between Anxiety and Addiction
Self-Medication:
People with anxiety may turn to substances (alcohol, drugs, etc.) or behaviors (e.g., gambling, overeating) to alleviate their symptoms.
This can lead to dependence and, eventually, addiction.
Biological and Psychological Links:
Both anxiety and addiction may involve similar brain pathways, such as those regulating stress and reward.
Trauma, genetics, and environmental stressors can increase the risk of both.
Addiction as a Cause of Anxiety:
Substance use and withdrawal can heighten anxiety symptoms.
Addiction can create stress in relationships, work, and personal life, fueling anxiety.
