Corina Bair
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
It feels like we all have anxiety at this point, right? So let's get down to it. I have years of experience working with teens, young and middle-aged adults in overcoming the symptoms of anxiety - whether that is due to social, personal, work, every day life, or just something you've always had. Assisting my clients with building insight and understanding into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors is an essential part of my therapy practice, and provide evidence-based practice tools that you can use outside of therapy as well. ~~~ Just to make it clear: BLM. Protect the dolls. FDT. Free Palestine & Sudan. F the patriarchy/capitalism. Sex + Body Positive. ~~~
I am passionate about providing a safe, compassionate, and welcoming space where you can be open about your worries so we can work through them together. Click that contact button and we can schedule a free consultation call today!

Hilary Stokes
Therapist, PHD, LCSW
Mind body approaches are fundamental to treating anxiety. Given anxiety has a primary physical component, brain informed, or body-based therapies have been shown to be essential in reducing symptoms of anxiety. In many cases these treatments far surpass traditional approaches. Meditation, mindfulness, diaphragmatic breathing practices and other relaxation techniques are often considered the hub of most mind body approaches. Brainspotting, EMDR, somatic therapy, parts therapy, hypnosis, visualization, energy psychology and biofeedback are several science-based strategies for decreasing anxiety.

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
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.

Anxiety can feel insurmountable. If you're experiencing anxiety I want to offer you hope that there is so much we can do together to help you feel more grounded, sturdy and confident. In our work we look at how anxiety is impacting your life and relationships, its patterns, and explore what might be the root of your worry. We'll try a combination of interventions designed to help you become more mindful of your anxiety and strategies to notice your thoughts and feelings rather than control them/push it away. I'm with you every step of the way so you don't have to hold everything you are navigating by yourself.
