Anxiety or Fears
Brent Peak
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Anxiety can feel like you’re constantly bracing for impact, even when nothing is wrong. You overthink conversations, anticipate rejection, and struggle to relax, as if the weight of responsibility and others' expectations never stops pressing down. Maybe your mind races at night, replaying mistakes or worrying about things beyond your control. You’ve learned to stay on high alert—not because you want to, but because your nervous system never learned how to feel safe. If you grew up in an environment where love felt conditional, emotions were dismissed, or conflict meant danger, it makes sense that your brain adapted to expect the worst.
But you don’t have to live this way forever. Anxiety isn’t just in your mind—it’s in your body, shaped by old survival patterns that no longer serve you. Using Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Post-Induction Therapy (PIT), I help clients reprocess past wounds so their nervous system can finally relax. Instead of just managing symptoms, we teach your brain and body that you are safe now—so you can stop living in survival mode, set boundaries without guilt, and trust yourself again. Therapy isn’t about forcing yourself to “calm down”—it’s about healing the root cause so peace becomes your new normal.

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.

Dr. Florence Rosiello
Therapist, Ph.D.
Most of my work is with people who have difficulty in relationships, either feeling too emotionally isolated or too merged. My strength lies in helping people find a place where they can be in intimate relationships and not lose themselves. Loving is difficult - and feeling loved, is even harder.

Federico Poloni
Marriage and Family Therapist, LAMFT, Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
You can't seem to turn off your thoughts and the worry keeps you up at night. You wish you didn't have to live in fear of the unknown or worry about what other's think about you or will do around you. You are drained and no-one seems to understand you, they just keep telling you how to solve your problems. That is exhausting! You don't have to live this way, it takes work but you can learn to handle your anxiety so it doesn't handle you. I have helped others to learn tools that bring a sense of control over their fears and worries so they can feel rest from their anxiety.
