When working with clients suffering from anxiety, I employ a compassionate and evidence-based approach designed to help you understand and manage your symptoms effectively. My training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR provides a strong foundation for addressing the various aspects of anxiety.
In our sessions, we will identify the triggers and patterns that contribute to your anxiety. I create a safe, supportive environment where you can openly discuss your experiences and concerns. Together, we will develop practical strategies to reduce anxiety, such as mindfulness techniques, relaxation exercises, and cognitive restructuring to challenge and change unhelpful thought patterns.

Anxiety or Fears
Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anxiety comes from the fear of getting hurt again or from the perpetual anxiety rooted in experiences of having been perpetually unsafe. In the first instance, the person fears that the source of their pain will happen again and tries to avoid it at all costs. In the second situation, the person looks out at the world and sees the worst possible scenario in everything. Regardless of what your anxieties or phobias are, we want you to know that you can overcome anxiety, emotionally stabilize, and regain control of your emotional and relational well being.

Anxiety or Fears
Jayson L. Mystkowski
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP
While Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT) is highly effective in the treatment of anxiety disorders (e.g., Panic Disorder, Social Phobia, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder), clinicians do see some “return of fear,” or partial relapse, in some patients due to a variety of factors. Over the past two decades, treatment researchers, with whom Dr. Jayson Mystkowski had the pleasure of working with at UCLA for over 10 years, have studied “return of fear” and discovered some key variables that may optimize the effects of learning during CBT for anxiety disorders (Craske et al., 2008).
First, evidence suggests that focusing on tolerating fear versus eliminating fear yields better clinical outcomes in the long term. Namely, teaching clients that fear and anxiety are normal feelings, rather than attempting to “down-regulate” such feelings all the time, is more realistic and seems to engender “hardier” clients. Second, helping clients to generate an expectancy that “scary things will not happen,” is very powerful. To do this, it is important for clinicians to create more complex exposure exercises (i.e., tasks in which a client confronts a stimulus of which they are afraid), using multiple feared stimuli instead of one at a time. Then, the lack of a feared outcome becomes particularly surprising and memorable for a client and fear reduction is more potent. Third, increasing the accessibility and retrievability of non-fear memories learned during treatment are powerful factors in mitigating against a return of fear. Craske and colleagues demonstrated that exposure to variations of a feared stimulus, using a random schedule across multiple contexts or situations, is more effective than exposure to the same stimulus, on a predictable schedule, in an unchanging environment. The former paradigm, it is argued, creates stronger non-fear memories that are easier for a client to access when subsequently confronting feared objects or situations outside of the therapy context, than the later scenario.
In sum, clinicians have long been aware that some fear or anxiety returns following very successful CBT treatment. As mentioned above, there are some clear, empirically supported ways to modify the therapy we provide to further help clients generalize the gains made in therapy sessions to the real world.

Anxiety or Fears
Brooke Taylor
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
Anxiety and fear can feel overwhelming, making it hard to navigate daily life and reach your full potential. Whether it’s constant worry, panic attacks, social anxiety, or a fear of the unknown, I help clients explore the root causes of their anxiety and develop strategies to regain control. Through a compassionate, non-judgmental approach, I empower individuals to challenge their fears, build emotional resilience, and adopt healthier coping mechanisms. Together, we can work towards creating a sense of peace and confidence, allowing you to step into each day with clarity and calm.

Anna Barrios
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Cognitive behavior therapy is an evidence based treatment for anxiety and phobias. CBT will help you effectively work through anxious feelings. You will learn to catch the thought, check the thought for its reality ,and change the thought for another that better suits your needs. I also incorporate mindfulness, progressive muscle relaxation and guided imagery strategies to relieve tension and promote grounding.
