Chris 'Bucky' Bateman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anxiety has a way of quietly taking over relationships, decisions, sleep, and the ability to simply be present. We help clients understand what's driving their anxiety beneath the surface and develop practical, sustainable tools for managing it. Whether your anxiety shows up in relationships, work, or daily life, therapy provides a calm space to slow down and find your footing again.

Dr. Divya Kakaiya Healthy Within
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist Ph. D M.S. BCN-L
Anxiety lives in an overactive brain — one that perceives danger where little exists, flooding the body with stress signals that feel impossible to override.
Neurofeedback works upstream from that reaction, training the brain's own regulatory systems to dial down excessive high-frequency arousal and restore a calmer baseline. Over time, the nervous system learns to distinguish real threat from perceived threat — breaking the cycle of chronic fear at its neurological root.

Whole Wellness Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Whole wellness therapy has a huge focus on what being human means. Anxiety and fear are a beautiful part of our emotional ecosystem that help protect us from harm. However, there are several times our mind and body can trick us into believing we are in danger of harm, when we may be perfectly safe. We call this "being stuck in survival mode." We are not meant to stay stuck in this mode. It is not a suitable place to regulate our emotions. Our therapists have had expert level training in implimenting coping mechanisms to help get us out of this mode, and even more importantly, finding out how we got in that mode in the first place. It's essential to find the root of the fear, in order to face it and conquor it, or we will only come to fear our own mind and our own body.

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.

Anxiety
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.
