Anxiety
The Mindful Life with Lori Kahn
Life Coach, Certified Integrative Coach, Certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher
Working with Anxiety or Fear with mindfulness tools and techniques allows us to experience the "feeling"s without making meaning and identifying with those feelings as "who we are" rather than what we feel. Often when we begin to notice the feelings, allow them to be there without judgment but with curiosity and observation we can see how impermanent they are and they begin to be manageable.

Dr. Shelby Kittinger
Psychologist, PsyD
I help clients explore the deeper roots of anxiety—often tied to perfectionism, self-criticism, and fear of getting things wrong. Together, we increase awareness of these internal patterns and build self-trust, curiosity, and agency to create more space for ease and choice.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Client-Centered
Anxiety and fear are among the most common reasons adults seek therapy — and among the most treatable. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I help adults and high-achieving professionals identify the root causes of anxiety, chronic stress, and worry and develop practical, lasting strategies to manage them. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and evidence-based techniques, I work with clients to break the cycle of anxious thinking and reclaim a genuine sense of calm and control. Telehealth anxiety therapy available across 40+ states.

Dr. Mitch Keil, PsyD
Psychologist, Keil Psych Group
Most people who struggle with anxiety spend years trying to get rid of the feeling without ever asking a more important question: Where is it coming from?
Anxiety is often the tip of the iceberg. Beneath chronic worry, panic, overthinking, or fear, we frequently find emotions, experiences, and internal conflicts that haven't been fully understood or processed. You may have learned early in life that certain feelings weren't safe to express, that you needed to stay in control, or that constantly anticipating what could go wrong was the best way to protect yourself.
My approach to anxiety therapy is primarily psychodynamic and depth-oriented. Rather than focusing only on managing symptoms, we become curious about what your anxiety is communicating and work toward understanding its roots. At the same time, I integrate mindfulness, CBT, and practical tools when they're useful for bringing relief in the here and now.
I work with chronic anxiety, generalized anxiety, panic attacks, fears and phobias, social anxiety, health anxiety, and high-functioning anxiety. The goal isn't simply to become better at coping with anxiety. It's to understand and work through what's driving it so that anxiety no longer has to occupy such a large part of your life.

TREATMENT AND TOOLS FOR TRAUMA
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PH.D., IN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND NEUROSCIENCE, CERTIFIED PSYCHOANALYST, PSY.A, & LICENSED PSYCHOANALYST
Generalized Anxiety Disorder includes anxiety attacks and panic attacks. Both responses by the mind/brain/mind initiate the body's HPA axis sending stress hormones cascading through the body. My treatment involves the use of supplements (unique to each patient) and not drugs, talk therapy, mediation, and the development of healing flow activities. The goal is to lessen the impact of the sympathetic nervous system and to bring the parasympathetic nervous online to calm a person's mind/brain/body.

Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anxiety can feel constant, overwhelming, and difficult to quiet. I work with individuals to understand the underlying patterns driving anxious thoughts and feelings, rather than only focusing on symptom relief. Together, we slow things down, identify triggers, and build the capacity to tolerate uncertainty and distress, leading to a greater sense of steadiness and control.
