Anxiety
Gail Kirk Poust
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anxiety is like an alarm that won't stop ringing: the 2 a.m. spirals, the racing heart, the what-ifs that take over an ordinary afternoon. Maybe it spiked during a season your body or life changed the rules such as pregnancy, postpartum, a health scare, the wait between appointments, or maybe it's been your quiet companion for years. Either way, you don't have to suffer through it. Together we'll calm your nervous system with skills you can use in the moment, and use CBT to answer the thoughts that fuel the alarm. If worry has turned into rituals or reassurance-seeking draw on ERP to break the loop. Relief isn't a personality change. It's a skill set, and you can learn it.

Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, LCSW
In my practice, understanding and addressing anxiety and fears involves a holistic approach that recognizes these experiences as deeply intertwined with the nervous system's response to both past and present traumas. This perspective acknowledges that anxiety often signals unresolved issues demanding attention, guiding us towards a journey of healing and connection with our authentic selves.
Central to our therapeutic work is the regulation of the nervous system, a critical step in creating a foundation for processing traumas and alleviating the physical and emotional manifestations of anxiety. By fostering a state of calm and safety within the body, we open pathways for individuals to explore the deeper sources of their anxiety and fears, which often stem from unprocessed traumas and the disconnection from their true selves.
Together, we embark on a process of gently uncovering and working through these traumas, aiming to understand their impact and integrate these experiences in a way that promotes healing and resilience. This journey is not just about managing symptoms but about transforming the relationship with anxiety and fear, viewing these emotions as part of a larger narrative of self-discovery and personal growth.
By re-establishing a connection to the authentic self, individuals are empowered to navigate their lives with a renewed sense of clarity, purpose, and inner strength. This reconnection also facilitates a deeper understanding of one's needs, desires, and boundaries, leading to more fulfilling relationships and a life that truly reflects one's values and aspirations.
Through this compassionate and depth-oriented approach, anxiety and fears are transformed from overwhelming challenges into opportunities for profound healing and self-realization, paving the way for a life lived with greater peace, authenticity, and empowerment.

Moving from Reactive Defense to Executive Mastery
Anxiety and fear are natural survival mechanisms, yet when left unmanaged, they quietly narrow your life—paralyzing decision-making, draining vitality, and keeping your nervous system trapped in a state of high alert.
My approach to anxiety is rooted in a fundamental principle: we master fear not by avoiding, invalidating, or fighting it, but by learning to engage with it safely and intentionally. Avoidance offers temporary relief, but it ultimately reinforces the brain’s alarm system. True relief comes from systematically teaching your body and mind that you can face challenges without becoming overwhelmed.
An Integrative, Neuro-Informed Framework
Rather than applying a rigid, one-size-fits-all anxiety protocol, I synthesize insights from modern neuroscience, cognitive science, and Eastern mindfulness practices to help you regain grounded control:
Physiological Regulation & The Observer Mind: Drawing from mindfulness and neuroscience, I help you step into the "observer position"—observing and describing anxious sensations without getting swept away by them. This process helps integrate the executive functions of the prefrontal cortex with the primitive survival impulses of the limbic system, settling the body’s "biological alarm."
Cognitive Reframing: We identify and update the extreme interpretations, catastrophe-driven scripts, and implicit assumptions that fuel chronic worry, replacing mental noise with realistic, empowering perspectives.
Controlled Exposure & Desensitization: Guided by gold-standard behavioral research, we design strategic, manageable steps to help you face feared situations or reprocess anxiety-inducing memories in a safe, controlled manner—expanding your comfort zone without flooding your system.
Trauma-Informed Integration: When anxiety stems from unresolved past experiences or traumatic stress, we work gently to reprocess those memories, helping your nervous system recognize that the past is over and safety is present.
Action-Oriented Empowerment
Ultimately, the goal of our work is not merely to eliminate uncomfortable feelings, but to ensure that fear no longer dictates your choices.
Whether through meditative breathwork, cognitive restructuring, controlled memory reprocessing, or strategic behavioral action plans, we build a tailored toolkit designed for your specific life and goals. You will learn to quiet the internal alarm, access genuine presence, and take decisive action in alignment with what matters most to you.

Chris Tickner
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, MFT
We all get anxious, it's a normal part of being human. Our brains have evolved to detect threats, both real and imagined. The problem is that the human brain has a hard time distinguishing between what is actually a threat in front of you (a bus about to run you over) and an imagined fear (giving a public speech). This is anxiety, and it can be devastating. If you have ever had a panic attack, you know how bad it can get. The good news is that recent evolution in the fields of psychology and neuroscience has given us powerful ways to overcome anxiety. Simple, effective, and powerful tools to reverse the impact of anxiety and stop it in its tracks. Anxiety is one of the most successfully treated conditions, and I would love to help you. Anxiety does not have to limit you anymore!
