Hayden Dover
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT, CST
Anxiety often organizes itself around responsibility, uncertainty, pressure, relationship patterns, and choices that feel difficult to make. My approach looks at the whole experience: thoughts, emotions, body signals, habits, and the larger questions of how you want to live. I use somatic awareness, practical tools, existential-humanistic therapy, and positive psychology to help clients develop more grounded and flexible ways of responding.

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.

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.

Anxiety often spikes before you can say why. Rather than only managing the symptoms, we get curious about what the anxiety is protecting, which is usually where lasting relief comes from.

Inner Compass Psychotherapy
Therapist, Group Practice | Clinical Director: Nora Katz, LCSW
Anxiety often shows up as a mind that will not slow down, a body that stays braced, or a constant sense of falling behind. We work on calming the alarm in the moment and on understanding where it comes from, so it loosens its grip over time.
