Anxiety or Fears
Briana Marshall
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
Anxiety shows up with many different faces and can impact our daily lives. It can feel like you remind never turns off, constant overthinking, worst-case scenarios, or a sense that something is always about to go wrong. Many clients share feeling on edge, irritable, struggling to relax, or feeling overwhelmed by decisions and daily responsibilities. In our work together, we'll slow things down to understand what's driving the anxiety while building tools to help you feel more grounded and in control. The goal is not to eliminate anxiety completely, but to help you navigate it with greater ease and confidence.

Anxiety or Fears
Dr. Aleksandra Drecun
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Anxiety is an important emotion that allows us get out of harm’s way and also provides us with fuel for important events. Anxiety warns us when we need to take action. If anxiety becomes unmanageable, impairing or distressing; it no longer is useful and may cross the fine line of becoming a disorder.
Anxiety disorders are the most common psychiatric illnesses affecting children and adults. Approximately, 40 million American adults suffer from anxiety disorders. Sadly, about one-third of those individuals suffering from an anxiety disorder receive treatment. Increase in public awareness is essential in informing the public that anxiety disorders are highly treatable.
If you experience anxiety that is persistent, seemingly uncontrollable, and overwhelming it may be indicative of an anxiety disorder. If it is an excessive, illogical fear of everyday situations, it can be disabling. When anxiety interferes with your daily activities, you may have an anxiety disorder.
The term “anxiety disorder” refers to a group of anxiety disorders that includes: generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), social anxiety disorder (also called social phobia), and specific phobias.
However, if worries, fears, or anxiety attacks seem overwhelming and are stopping you from living your life in a manner that suits you, you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder. Gratefully, many treatments and self-help strategies for anxiety disorders can help you significantly decrease your anxiety symptoms, manage anxiety attacks, and reclaim your life.

Anxiety or Fears
Madelyn Alvarez
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Anxiety and fear can feel overwhelming, especially for children and young adults who may not yet have the tools to cope. In therapy, I create a calming and supportive environment where clients can safely explore their worries while building resilience and confidence. Using CBT, mindfulness, play, and creative therapies, I help clients learn to manage anxious thoughts, reduce fear, and feel more empowered in their daily lives.

Anxiety is connected to the Unknown and Fear to the known. Anxiety and fear are part of everyday existence but when it overwhelms, techniques are needed for management. Cognitive approaches, visualization and journaling are some techniques in treatment.

Anxiety or Fears
Sarah Koerner
Psychologist, PsyD
I have many years of experience working with a wide range of anxiety and anxiety disorders (including PTSD). I regularly complete trainings in this area. I aim to help people reduce anxiety thought looping and bodily/nervous system activation. I am able to provide EMDR as a treatment option for people feeling really stuck with their trauma and/or anxiety. Sessions with me feel like a real conversation with clinical info and suggestions peppered in. I believe humor and joy are often useful to help shift perspective. My goal is for clients to learn how to live in the present so that they can engage more fully in their lives.
