Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #145795
Have you ever felt as if you had a mental block? This block prevents you from moving forward, thinking about something else and most of all changing your emotions. When someone gets in a negative downward spiral and find it very difficult to get out of it is probably because you don’t know how to. This might sound crazy, but most people who suffer with anxiety and depression start out in this same mental state that I just described. As a california marriage and family therapist and professor, I teach psychotherapists how to help clients who are in this exact mental state. There’s a cognitive behavioral therapeutic approach known as CBT that touches on something called distortions. The best way that I can explain the distortions is by having you think of those disgusting negative messages that replays in your head. This message often makes you feel horrible, worthless, stuck and like there’s no point. CBT allows you to take back control of those distortions in order to help you change your mindset to reduce or get rid of that anxiety. Feel free to schedule a session with me to see if I will be a good fit for you.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Anxiety is a learned behavior and it can be unlearned. Your brain is not your enemy and it isn’t trying to make you worry; it is just repeating unhelpful messages from the past. I’d like to help you retrain your brain to be a source of comfort and positivity so you can direct your energy towards things you really value instead of worrying all the time. In order to change the way you think and feel, I’m going to ask you to change your daily habits and practice new skills.

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!

Drew Carr
Psychologist, Ph.D.
You had a good day. Work went well; you exercised; maybe even spent time with people you care about. Then you got home, noticed everything you had not done, opened your phone “for a minute,” and disappeared into comparison, research, or another plan to improve your life. By bedtime, the day no longer felt like enough. I work with thoughtful, driven folks, often ADHD or ADHD-ish, who look capable from the outside but feel restless, scattered, disconnected, or chronically behind. You may be successful and self-aware, yet exhausted from constantly trying to fix yourself.
My approach is practical and collaborative, grounded in contextual behavioral science. We look beneath procrastination, distraction, burnout, and indecision to understand how these patterns developed and what keeps them going. Therapy is not another performance test. It is a place to rebuild self-trust and act from what matters—not shame, fear, or proving.
I do not offer a final formula for what your life should be. I can help you slow the machinery down, recognize the rules that have been running you, and take the next honest step without abandoning yourself. If you have built a life that should feel meaningful but doesn't feel like home, contact me to see whether we're a good fit.

In the current time we live in there has been an increase in generalized anxiety and fear. In the initial intake session we will gather the history of how anxiety is impairing your past and current daily living and wellness. In following sessions I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which is a very effective, evidence based therapeutic model to learn how to handle more effectively life's anxieties.

Rich Painter, M.S.
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Life has a way of making us feel overwhelmed and out of control at times. Fears, stress, and anxiety can build up and consume your thoughts and feelings. I believe that by exploring unmet needs from the past, people can develop healthier relationships today. By working through painful losses and wounds, people can release unhelpful beliefs about themselves and others in order to live more fully in the present and with hope for the future. We are hurt in relationships; we are also healed in relationship, and the therapeutic relationship can be a useful resource. If you are ready to take the next step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

Bonnie Rae
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I am passionate and experienced in working with anxiety and fear. Fear is a primary emotion we often avoid feeling, resulting in anxiety and sophisticated defenses. In my work with ISTDP (intensive short-term dynamic therapy), I am trained and skilled at helping people understand and feel the feelings that are suppressed beneath the anxiety. Together, we will explore the root of your anxiety and fear, ultimately leading to a greater sense of freedom and an increased joy in life.
