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.

Dr. Aleksandra Drecun
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Anxiety is an important emotion that allows us get out of harm’s way and also provides us with fuel for important events. Anxiety warns us when we need to take action. If anxiety becomes unmanageable, impairing or distressing; it no longer is useful and may cross the fine line of becoming a disorder.
Anxiety disorders are the most common psychiatric illnesses affecting children and adults. Approximately, 40 million American adults suffer from anxiety disorders. Sadly, about one-third of those individuals suffering from an anxiety disorder receive treatment. Increase in public awareness is essential in informing the public that anxiety disorders are highly treatable.
If you experience anxiety that is persistent, seemingly uncontrollable, and overwhelming it may be indicative of an anxiety disorder. If it is an excessive, illogical fear of everyday situations, it can be disabling. When anxiety interferes with your daily activities, you may have an anxiety disorder.
The term “anxiety disorder” refers to a group of anxiety disorders that includes: generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), social anxiety disorder (also called social phobia), and specific phobias.
However, if worries, fears, or anxiety attacks seem overwhelming and are stopping you from living your life in a manner that suits you, you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder. Gratefully, many treatments and self-help strategies for anxiety disorders can help you significantly decrease your anxiety symptoms, manage anxiety attacks, and reclaim your life.

Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Welcome! It is so common for us to expect everyone's anxiety to match our own experience. However, I want to start therapy by learning your language and your personal experience with anxiety. We’ll start with stories of when you notice an absence or smaller amount of anxiety present—environments, relationships, and activities where maybe you feel peaceful, content, and confident. We’ll talk through the patterns of when anxiety arises, what happens during the experience, how others respond, and what consequences follow the anxiety experience. After I’ve really learned your experience, we’ll begin to increase experiences of exception, building on those beautiful exhales and moments of glee. We may use EMDR or somatic therapy approaches to explore deeper roots and truly move through the embodied experience of fear. We can also use EMDR and imagery to practice tools and skills successfully for future experiences that often bring anxiety, so that when the experience occurs the amount of anxiety is lessened.
