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.

GRIS ALVES
Counselor/Therapist, Compassionate Inquiry, Trauma Informed Mindfulness Teacher
I work with anxiety and fear through a trauma-informed, body-aware approach rooted in Compassionate Inquiry®. Rather than treating anxiety as something to eliminate, we explore it as a meaningful signal shaped by past experiences, nervous system patterns, and unmet emotional needs. Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, hypervigilant, or stuck in cycles of worry or self-doubt. Together, we build awareness, regulation, and understanding, helping clients relate to anxiety with compassion and develop greater safety, clarity, and trust in themselves.

Marge Michaelson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, ACSW, DSW
Anxiety is connected to the Unknown and Fear to the known. Anxiety and fear are part of everyday existence but when it overwhelms, techniques are needed for management. Cognitive approaches, visualization and journaling are some techniques in treatment.

Corina Bair
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
It feels like we all have anxiety at this point, right? So let's get down to it. I have years of experience working with teens, young and middle-aged adults in overcoming the symptoms of anxiety - whether that is due to social, personal, work, every day life, or just something you've always had. Assisting my clients with building insight and understanding into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors is an essential part of my therapy practice, and provide evidence-based practice tools that you can use outside of therapy as well. ~~~ Just to make it clear: BLM. Protect the dolls. FDT. Free Palestine & Sudan. F the patriarchy/capitalism. Sex + Body Positive. ~~~
I am passionate about providing a safe, compassionate, and welcoming space where you can be open about your worries so we can work through them together. Click that contact button and we can schedule a free consultation call today!

Hilary Stokes
Therapist, PHD, LCSW
Mind body approaches are fundamental to treating anxiety. Given anxiety has a primary physical component, brain informed, or body-based therapies have been shown to be essential in reducing symptoms of anxiety. In many cases these treatments far surpass traditional approaches. Meditation, mindfulness, diaphragmatic breathing practices and other relaxation techniques are often considered the hub of most mind body approaches. Brainspotting, EMDR, somatic therapy, parts therapy, hypnosis, visualization, energy psychology and biofeedback are several science-based strategies for decreasing anxiety.

Dr. Maxwell Rappoport

For anxiety, I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure, and Mindfulness-based interventions to help clients break free from cycles of worry and fear. Together, we target unhelpful thought patterns, gradually reduce avoidance, and cultivate tools for calm, resilience, and confidence.

Chula Vista is one of California's fastest-growing cities and sits directly north of the US-Mexico border, with a predominantly Hispanic population and a large community of residents who maintain close ties to Tijuana — making bilingual Spanish-English therapy not a specialty but a basic access requirement for much of the population. The city's location within the broader San Diego metro means residents have access to the full range of institutional mental health resources, including Scripps Health and Sharp HealthCare, while Chula Vista's own private therapy community has expanded significantly alongside its population growth. The city's significant Filipino community and growing South Asian population add further dimensions to the demand for culturally competent care. Military families connected to Naval Base San Diego also form part of the local therapy clientele given the city's proximity to base housing.
