Hayden Dover
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT, CST
Anxiety often organizes itself around responsibility, uncertainty, pressure, relationship patterns, and choices that feel difficult to make. My approach looks at the whole experience: thoughts, emotions, body signals, habits, and the larger questions of how you want to live. I use somatic awareness, practical tools, existential-humanistic therapy, and positive psychology to help clients develop more grounded and flexible ways of responding.

Claire Babbitt, LMFT, JD
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, J.D.
When a patient presents with anxiety and fears, my approach is compassionate and with empathy. No matter what the fear, even if irrational to some, it is important to spend time to support the patient, and try to get possible clarity on any underlying conflict and current situational stress. Empathy and time with the patient is crucial, making sure the patient and therapist discuss patient's issues. Positive goals and solutions may provide relief in the short term, with the long term goal being reduction of fear and anxiety, with understanding of cause and steps toward solution.

GRIS ALVES
Counselor/Therapist, Compassionate Inquiry, Trauma Informed Mindfulness Teacher
I work with anxiety and fear through a trauma-informed, body-aware approach rooted in Compassionate Inquiry®. Rather than treating anxiety as something to eliminate, we explore it as a meaningful signal shaped by past experiences, nervous system patterns, and unmet emotional needs. Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, hypervigilant, or stuck in cycles of worry or self-doubt. Together, we build awareness, regulation, and understanding, helping clients relate to anxiety with compassion and develop greater safety, clarity, and trust in themselves.

Vince Heyman
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Anxiety can feel like it’s running your life, pulling you into spiraling thoughts, keeping your body stuck in fear, and leaving you emotionally drained or numb. Over time, it can start to take the joy and connection out of relationships, hobbies, and everyday life, leaving you wondering if things will ever ease.
In therapy with me, you’ll learn how anxiety works, gain practical ways to find calm, and build genuine self-acceptance so the pressure can begin to lift. Together, we’ll explore the beliefs and past experiences driving your fears, helping you move toward a life that feels lighter, steadier, and more enjoyable.

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.
