Anxiety
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.

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.

Laura Fleming
Pre-Licensed Professional, Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Anxiety can feel insurmountable. If you're experiencing anxiety I want to offer you hope that there is so much we can do together to help you feel more grounded, sturdy and confident. In our work we look at how anxiety is impacting your life and relationships, its patterns, and explore what might be the root of your worry. We'll try a combination of interventions designed to help you become more mindful of your anxiety and strategies to notice your thoughts and feelings rather than control them/push it away. I'm with you every step of the way so you don't have to hold everything you are navigating by yourself.

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.

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.
