When Anxiety Takes Over
Life can feel overwhelming when your mind never seems to rest. If you’re constantly worried, tense, or replaying conversations in your head, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to keep living that way. I specialize in helping women whose lives look “fine” on the outside but feel anything but calm on the inside. You may find yourself overthinking every decision, doubting your worth, or feeling frozen when it’s time to speak up or say no. You might notice that your fears — of judgment, rejection, or failure — keep you from showing up fully in your work, relationships, or daily life.
If you relate to this, I can help you learn how to quiet the mental noise and create more space for peace, confidence, and genuine connection. Using a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT, I’ll guide you through practical tools that help you understand and retrain the patterns that fuel anxiety. Together, we’ll uncover what triggers your fears, and build emotional skills so you can respond to stress with clarity instead of panic. My clients often describe the process as “life-changing” — because it helps them feel capable, grounded, and free.
I BELIEVE:
Anxiety isn’t a weakness — it’s your mind trying to protect you. We’ll teach it new ways to help instead of harm.
Mixed feelings are normal. You can want change and fear it at the same time.
Relationships are worth the effort. When you communicate with honesty and compassion, fear loses its grip.
You deserve to feel at ease in your own skin — confident, calm, and clear about what matters most.
Healing doesn’t have to be heavy. A little humor and humanity go a long way.

Tara Maazel
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PN1-NC
I work with adults who have experienced trauma, chronic health issues, invisible illnesses, chronic pain, anxiety, and depression. I utilize an individualized and tailored approach drawing from my training in IFS, EMDR, CBT, and Somatic Art therapy. I offer concrete tools and skills to help you navigate your way toward a more vibrant and purposeful life. Using an IFS lens, we will explore how some of your anxiety symptoms may be attempts to protect more vulnerable parts of yourself. Through guided processes and exercises we can begin to create a map of your inner landscape and foster healing so that you can feel more empowered to care for vulnerable parts of yourself in ways that feel more effective and sustainable.

Alexis Hollingsworth
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Anxiety is incredibly prevalent in our society today especially among young adults, because of this anxiety is one of my main specialties I love working with. I believe that anxiety itself is not the problem but rather how we react to it and how we choose to cope. Utilizing ACT and mindfulness based practices I can help you learn how to cope with your anxiety and take back control of your life.

Elaine Skoulas
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Anxiety often hides beneath competence and productivity. Many of the people I work with are successful and capable on the outside, yet internally feel tense, restless, or unable to fully relax. Racing thoughts, constant mental scanning, difficulty sleeping, or a body that feels perpetually “on” are common experiences. In our work together we explore the deeper patterns that drive anxiety, including perfectionism, trauma, and chronic stress. Using somatic therapy and nervous system regulation, we help your system learn how to settle so you can move through life with greater steadiness and clarity.

Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, LCSW
In my practice, understanding and addressing anxiety and fears involves a holistic approach that recognizes these experiences as deeply intertwined with the nervous system's response to both past and present traumas. This perspective acknowledges that anxiety often signals unresolved issues demanding attention, guiding us towards a journey of healing and connection with our authentic selves.
Central to our therapeutic work is the regulation of the nervous system, a critical step in creating a foundation for processing traumas and alleviating the physical and emotional manifestations of anxiety. By fostering a state of calm and safety within the body, we open pathways for individuals to explore the deeper sources of their anxiety and fears, which often stem from unprocessed traumas and the disconnection from their true selves.
Together, we embark on a process of gently uncovering and working through these traumas, aiming to understand their impact and integrate these experiences in a way that promotes healing and resilience. This journey is not just about managing symptoms but about transforming the relationship with anxiety and fear, viewing these emotions as part of a larger narrative of self-discovery and personal growth.
By re-establishing a connection to the authentic self, individuals are empowered to navigate their lives with a renewed sense of clarity, purpose, and inner strength. This reconnection also facilitates a deeper understanding of one's needs, desires, and boundaries, leading to more fulfilling relationships and a life that truly reflects one's values and aspirations.
Through this compassionate and depth-oriented approach, anxiety and fears are transformed from overwhelming challenges into opportunities for profound healing and self-realization, paving the way for a life lived with greater peace, authenticity, and empowerment.

Lisa Paer
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, EMDR Certified
Shortness of breath, beating heart, tense muscles, sweaty palms, restlessness, difficulty sleeping...you try to remind yourself that your anxiety is irrational, but it's not enough. The symptoms continue. You just don't know what to do anymore, because if telling yourself to "calm down" actually worked then you wouldn't be here! Anxiety is inherently a fear of the unknown. People with anxiety tend to struggle with not feeling in control. Fears of future (worst-case, of course) scenarios plague your mind. Sound like you? You've come to the right place. I use research-backed methods to treat these symptoms and more.

Jeremy Rhoades
Counselor/Therapist, MFT, LPCC, Harm Reduction Specialist, Psychedelic Integration Consultant
Anxiety and fear can be a great portal to being present. We can work with anxiety and fear directly to transmute the energy, so that you are not stuck in the story that is attached to the feeling, but rather able to see the situation from a broader perspective and have more choice about what you'd like to do next. Or, if it is too difficult to approach it directly, we can slowly build acceptance techniques and see what tools help to mitigate the intensity.

Anxiety and panic is very treatable. It does not have to continue to limit your life. My goal is to understand your internal experience, uncover the memories and thought spirals that drive panic attacks, and help you access the wisest, most balanced part of yourself. We can work through anxiety producing material in a way that feels safe and doable. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that are most effective in freeing you from old patterns and helping you to reclaim the balanced, happy, active life you deserve.

Dr. Lynn E. O'Connor
Therapist, PhD
Working with clients suffering from anxiety, I provide supportive and educational psychotherapy while --in collaboration with my clients-- introducing them to exposure and response prevention methods. I usually encourage clients to obtain a medical evaluation to consider psychotropic medications, such as serotonergic agents. Integrating methods from CBT, the biological sciences, and humanistic perspectives, as a student of Buddhism, I also offer experience with mindfulness meditation and other contemplative approaches in conjunction with self-compassion in accordance with clients' interests.

Brad Gilmore
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MA
Key in treating anxiety is learning what messages your anxiety is encoding - what does it want / need you to know and what lies underneath the anxiety - what feelings and emotions await your attention. In therapy, you learn to process these feelings and foster a deeper connection with yourself and others.

Los Angeles has one of the highest concentrations of therapists in the United States, with a culture that broadly embraces personal growth, self-development, and long-term therapeutic work. The entertainment industry generates distinct demand for therapists who understand performance anxiety, identity, the psychological pressures of creative careers, and the particular challenges of fame and public scrutiny. LA's extraordinary diversity means therapists fluent in Spanish, Korean, Mandarin, Farsi, Armenian, and Tagalog are all abundant, making culturally matched care particularly accessible. Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and the UCLA Health system anchor institutional mental health services across the Los Angeles basin.
