Anxiety
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.

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.

Nekea Strong (Abundant Life Therapy)
Pre-Licensed Professional, AMFT, APCC
I support individuals who are struggling with anxiety by helping them better understand their thoughts, emotions, and body responses. Together, we work to identify patterns that keep anxiety going and build practical coping tools that feel realistic and sustainable. I take a collaborative and compassionate approach, creating a space where clients can feel safe slowing down, gaining insight, and learning how to respond to anxiety rather than feeling controlled by it. My goal is to help clients feel more grounded, confident, and empowered in their daily lives.

Anxiety can feel like a running list that never ends, or a tight chest before anything has even happened. We look at the thoughts and habits that feed it and practice small, steady ways to quiet it down.

Alyssa Zarske
Pre-Licensed Professional, AMFT 158291, supervised by Nora Katz, LCSW 112300
Anxiety can look like a mind that never clocks out, or a body that stays braced long after the stressful thing is over. Together we slow it down, notice what sets it off, and practice ways to feel steadier day to day.

Anxiety
Patricia Fahmy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Anxiety can feel exhausting, especially when it begins to affect your relationships, confidence, and sense of emotional security. You may find yourself overthinking conversations, worrying about how others feel about you, seeking reassurance, struggling with trust, fearing rejection, feeling overwhelmed by conflict, or pulling away when vulnerability feels uncomfortable. While these patterns can be frustrating, they often make sense in the context of past experiences and the ways you've learned to protect yourself. I help clients understand the deeper roots of their anxiety, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop healthier, more secure ways of relating to themselves and others.
