Anxiety
Elena Duong
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Anxiety is a deeply-rooted human response, shaped by evolution to keep us alert and alive. At its core, it is the mind and body’s early warning system—triggering heightened awareness, faster thinking, and physical readiness in the face of perceived threats. While this response was once essential for survival in dangerous environments, modern life often activates the same system in situations that are not physically harmful, such as social pressure, uncertainty, or future worries. As a result, anxiety can feel overwhelming, persistent, and sometimes disconnected from immediate reality. Though uncomfortable, it reflects a system that is trying—sometimes too hard—to protect us, highlighting both the strength and the limits of our evolutionary wiring.

John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT MACP LPCC
Most people don't know that anxiety is actually healthy. It's a natural response in order to keep our bodies alert and functional. It's when it becomes chronic and affects our lifestyle that it needs to be addressed and reshaped. There are tons of tools to bring this back in-line. Let's figure it out and get you grounded.

Brandy Jaramillo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
In my work with clients experiencing anxiety and fear, I use a blended therapeutic approach drawing from Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Therapy. I help clients identify specific, achievable goals (SFBT), challenge and reframe unhelpful thought patterns (CBT), and strengthen their internal motivation for change and growth (Motivational Therapy). This integrative method empowers clients to regain control, build resilience, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

Talia Chanoff
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I support individuals navigating anxiety in a way that honors how these experiences often develop as understandable responses to stress, uncertainty, or past experiences. Rather than trying to eliminate anxiety outright, our work focuses on listening to what your fears may be communicating, building self-compassion, and developing greater flexibility in how you relate to anxious thoughts and bodily sensations. Together, we work toward creating a sense of safety, agency, and trust in yourself.
