Anxiety
Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
From the perspective of Somatic Experiencing, anxiety can be a fight/flight response that hasn't fully settled. It can leave you with a feeling that something isn't quite right, and then your mind starts searching for reasons to feel that way. It's a vicious cycle.
We can work together to find ways to help your body 'complete' the unsettled fight/flight response so you can actually feel safer and more settled. Now your mind will be fresh and clear and better able to assess the situation and decide on a effective course of action.

Amenah Arman
Therapist, MS-CLINICAL MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING, Nationally Certified Counselor
Anxiety often shows up as constant mental activity, pressure to perform, or a nervous system that rarely slows down. Many of the people I work with are founders, creatives, and high-performing professionals managing chronic stress, perfectionism, and the sense that they must always stay “on.” Through trauma-informed therapy and nervous system regulation, we work to reduce anxiety at its root so you can experience greater steadiness, clarity, and the ability to lead and create without running on constant adrenaline.

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.

Glenn Sample
Psychologist, Psy.D., MSCP
Anxiety can affect the way you think, feel, behave, and experience everyday life. Persistent worry, racing thoughts, difficulty relaxing, irritability, or feeling overwhelmed can make it difficult to stay present and enjoy the things that matter to you.
Therapy can provide a space to better understand what contributes to anxiety and identify patterns that may be keeping it going. Using CBT and DBT-informed strategies, I help clients recognize unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, develop effective coping skills, and build greater confidence in managing difficult emotions and situations. Together, we can work toward responding to anxiety with greater awareness and effectiveness rather than allowing it to control your choices.

We will look at what your anxiety is trying to protect you from while also giving you real tools to dial it down when it takes over. You deserve to move through your days with more ease instead of bracing for disaster all the time.

Anxiety Eliminated
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Health Coach, MBA
i have a 95% success rate with healing anxiety. There are key dietary components which must be assessed and, in hypnosis, are very easy to fix. Once the body is stabilized, we go on to identify childhood challenges and traumas that are related to the anxiety. These issues are released by being pulled out by their roots by a specialized combination of releasing and hypnotherapy techniques.

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.

Diane Hough, LMFT — Integrative Therapy for Relationships & Life Transitions
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anxiety is one of the most common reasons people come to therapy, and I've helped many clients work with anxiety and fear over the years. Having someone you can talk to honestly, who can hold space for what you're going through and help you feel less alone, can be an important first step. From there, we can explore what's underneath the anxiety while also working more directly with the body and nervous system. I incorporate mindfulness, somatic approaches, and other tools that can help calm the nervous system and begin to shift old patterns in the brain and body, so anxiety doesn't have to run your life.
