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.

Taylor Swing
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Sometimes we feel stuck in the same loop, thinking about the same things, making the same decisions. Have you struggled to sleep at night or get things done because you’re ruminating about a thought or situation? Do you struggle to make decisions or constantly worry about making the right one? Not sure how to address a conflict? You're not alone, sometimes our anxiety can become overwhelming. I can support you in learning effective coping skills, challenging your thoughts, and changing your thinking patterns to help you reach your goals in the space of therapy.

Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
Some say anxiety is living in the future, while depression is living in the past. Some say a little anxiety is healthy, and without it we would have a difficult time being productive. What about when the anxiety is so intense that it rules your life? From the moment you wake until the moment you go to bed, and then you cannot sleep, because, still, it persists. Call or email me today to see how we can work together to bring down the level of anxiety to one that is manageable for you.

Helen Star, MFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT, SEP
Trauma can live in the body unaddressed for a lifetime. It impacts every aspect of the person’s experience, from health concerns to psychological instability to insecurities in achieving life goals. Working through trauma is the single most important piece in establishing a more harmonious life perspective. Adults often can’t identify the source of their anxieties because it is buried in childhood experience. Or, they know the source, but addressing the impact of trauma has been elusive.
Whether you identify a single traumatic experience in your life or you experience the result through a highly strung nervous system, trauma can be addressed through working with the sensations of the body.
I was originally trained in Somatic Psychotherapy and have over 25 years of working with the language of the body. This is done through mindful observation of the body’s experience in the here and now and through expressive art and movement therapy as well as talking through the event itself. The resolution comes from a place of self-love and resiliency is built by building support in one’s life.

Stephen B. Lewis Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Using hypnosis I help train your mind to direct the power of your imagination towards relaxation instead of worry. The connections from your mind to your body that can cause physically exhausting reactions to irrational fears or phobias can instead be used to calm your mood, relax your body, and clear your mind.

Lisa Andresen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Is your anxiety productive sometimes? Fears of what others think of you or worrying about letting others down can fuel working long hours, over-preparing, and perfectionist tendencies. However, anxiety can also lead to procrastination, a harsh inner critic, running the tape of past conversations on repeat, over-eating, or troubles sleeping. Sometimes the worries seem endless and the angst leads to physical discomfort, neck/shoulder tension, and stomach pains. Fortunately, research shows CBT can improve anxiety symptoms within 8-12 sessions.
