Briana Marshall
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
Anxiety shows up with many different faces and can impact our daily lives. It can feel like you remind never turns off, constant overthinking, worst-case scenarios, or a sense that something is always about to go wrong. Many clients share feeling on edge, irritable, struggling to relax, or feeling overwhelmed by decisions and daily responsibilities. In our work together, we'll slow things down to understand what's driving the anxiety while building tools to help you feel more grounded and in control. The goal is not to eliminate anxiety completely, but to help you navigate it with greater ease and confidence.

Anxiety or Fears
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 or Fears
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.
