Anxiety
Lisa Abdilova Andresen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Is your anxiety productive sometimes? Fears of what others think of you or worrying about letting others down can fuel working long hours, over-preparing, and perfectionist tendencies. However, anxiety can also lead to procrastination, a harsh inner critic, running the tape of past conversations on repeat, over-eating, or troubles sleeping. Sometimes the worries seem endless and the angst leads to physical discomfort, neck/shoulder tension, and stomach pains. Fortunately, research shows CBT can improve anxiety symptoms within 8-12 sessions.

Vince Heyman
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Anxiety can feel like it’s running your life, pulling you into spiraling thoughts, keeping your body stuck in fear, and leaving you emotionally drained or numb. Over time, it can start to take the joy and connection out of relationships, hobbies, and everyday life, leaving you wondering if things will ever ease.
In therapy with me, you’ll learn how anxiety works, gain practical ways to find calm, and build genuine self-acceptance so the pressure can begin to lift. Together, we’ll explore the beliefs and past experiences driving your fears, helping you move toward a life that feels lighter, steadier, and more enjoyable.

Matthew Weisskopf
Psychologist, PhD
I can assist clients with addressing anxiety or fear with cognitive behavioral therapy approaches. This type of approach is practical and will assist the client with shifting their thoughts and underlying beliefs, as well as behaviors that may be driving anxiety or fear. This includes the application of various relaxation techniques.

Vanessa Ffrench
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (140713), Certified Yoga & Meditation Instructor
I have experience and training in working with anxiety and panic attacks and have personal experience with both. I approach these issues with a psychoeducational framework (teaching you about your body’s protective mechanisms), inviting in acceptance and self compassion, while also using body-oriented and mindfulness practices to ground in the body and resource oneself.

Rich Painter, M.S.
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Life has a way of making us feel overwhelmed and out of control at times. Fears, stress, and anxiety can build up and consume your thoughts and feelings. I believe that by exploring unmet needs from the past, people can develop healthier relationships today. By working through painful losses and wounds, people can release unhelpful beliefs about themselves and others in order to live more fully in the present and with hope for the future. We are hurt in relationships; we are also healed in relationship, and the therapeutic relationship can be a useful resource. If you are ready to take the next step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!
