Anxiety or Fears
Karen Petren
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Anxiety can be debilitating, yet people who don’t have it can unknowingly be dismissive of it. It can be so lonely. Working with an experienced therapist who truly gets it can radically change your perspective and dramatically improve the quality of your life. CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy) are two treatment modalities I use to help you question your negative thoughts and begin to believe that you can decide how we you to feel.

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.

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.

Anxiety can feel constant, showing up as worry, overthinking, or a sense of being on edge. It can interfere with your ability to relax, make decisions, or feel present. In therapy we will work on understanding what is driving your anxiety and learning ways to manage it more effectively. The focus is on helping you feel calmer, more grounded, and more confident in handling situations that used to feel overwhelming.

Anxiety or Fears
Jayson L. Mystkowski
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP
While Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT) is highly effective in the treatment of anxiety disorders (e.g., Panic Disorder, Social Phobia, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder), clinicians do see some “return of fear,” or partial relapse, in some patients due to a variety of factors. Over the past two decades, treatment researchers, with whom Dr. Jayson Mystkowski had the pleasure of working with at UCLA for over 10 years, have studied “return of fear” and discovered some key variables that may optimize the effects of learning during CBT for anxiety disorders (Craske et al., 2008).
First, evidence suggests that focusing on tolerating fear versus eliminating fear yields better clinical outcomes in the long term. Namely, teaching clients that fear and anxiety are normal feelings, rather than attempting to “down-regulate” such feelings all the time, is more realistic and seems to engender “hardier” clients. Second, helping clients to generate an expectancy that “scary things will not happen,” is very powerful. To do this, it is important for clinicians to create more complex exposure exercises (i.e., tasks in which a client confronts a stimulus of which they are afraid), using multiple feared stimuli instead of one at a time. Then, the lack of a feared outcome becomes particularly surprising and memorable for a client and fear reduction is more potent. Third, increasing the accessibility and retrievability of non-fear memories learned during treatment are powerful factors in mitigating against a return of fear. Craske and colleagues demonstrated that exposure to variations of a feared stimulus, using a random schedule across multiple contexts or situations, is more effective than exposure to the same stimulus, on a predictable schedule, in an unchanging environment. The former paradigm, it is argued, creates stronger non-fear memories that are easier for a client to access when subsequently confronting feared objects or situations outside of the therapy context, than the later scenario.
In sum, clinicians have long been aware that some fear or anxiety returns following very successful CBT treatment. As mentioned above, there are some clear, empirically supported ways to modify the therapy we provide to further help clients generalize the gains made in therapy sessions to the real world.

David Andreone
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, AMFT
Anxiety is almost always rooted in the future -- thinking about the future, obsessing about the future, worrying about the future. Learning how to live in the moment, in the here and now, can reduce most outsized anxiety.

Empowered Wellbeing, Trauma/Complex Trauma (CPTSD), Dissociation and Addiction Recovery Care
Life Coach, view my credentials online at: www.recoveringfromwithin.com/credentialslongform
From an TIST/EFIT/IPNB/IFS Parts Perspective, clients get to know parts with anxieties and fears and learn how to listen and be with the anxiety, even finding hidden wisdom in these parts. We also offer the Polyvagal Theory based Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) for clients with more intensive anxiety and fears, particularly social and intimacy fears. Sometimes a functional approach may support clients experiencing anxiety due to physiological stress or epigenetic adaptive stress (e.g. if a basic metabolism or hormonal cycle is not able to complete with ease or there is an injury or chronic health condition that is still being tended to in the body, the brain will likely receive signals of distress that could be read as baseline anxiety, but may be a bodily signal that some part of a basic physiological cycle is not able to function smoothly and may benefit from ascertaining where the challenge is and working with supplemental or integrative support/education/care that is within scope or collaborative scope); please feel free to ask if you have any questions about this.

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Anxiety and fears often reflect deeper emotional conflicts and relational patterns formed early in life. My work integrates psychoanalytic approaches, hypnosis, and somatic awareness to explore how fear lives in both the mind and the body. Through this depth-oriented process, patients develop greater emotional regulation, self-understanding, and a more grounded sense of safety.

Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
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.

Experiencing anxiety can be intensely uncomfortable. Coming to understand not only where your anxiety comes from, but how to soothe it, can be central to fostering self-compassion and a sense of control over your emotional experiences.

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.
