Anxiety or Fears

Dr. Glenn Francis

Marriage and Family Therapist, Psy.D., MFT
Anxiety is helped by taking care of a few basics. We can give careful attention to what is in our thoughts -- are they catastrophic, hopeless, or distorted in other ways, making us anxious? Noticing our thoughts, and editing our thought-stream to become more realistic can bring us back to the present moment, and more ease. The second basic is to make sure that we are breathing more like babies, from the abdomen, and less like desperate people running away from tigers. Fight or flight breathing makes us anxious, and anxiety makes us breathe like desperate people. More realistic thoughts and better breathing are very helpful for anxiety.

Anxiety or Fears

Dr. Robert Nemerovski

Psychologist, Psy.D.
Racing pulse? Sweaty palms? Tight chest? Shortness of breath? Difficulty thinking clearly? Feeling “anxiety”? These are some of the most common signs of anxiety, a normal human emotional and physical state that serves to signal us that something important is going on. Anxiety can signal something good, such as our excitement before we see a long lost friend. It can also signal something potentially bad, such as when we imagine making a blundering error just before we start a presentation. A little anxiety keeps us alert, such as when we are about to cross the street and our anxiety signals us to be cautious and check for traffic before stepping off the curb. A lot of anxiety can distract us, make us physically uncomfortable, steal our sleep, lead us to avoid important activities in life, and even increase our risk for stroke, heart attack, and other serious illness. I help clients decrease their suffering from excessive anxiety by working on several fronts: reducing uncomfortable symptoms by increasing coping and relaxation skills; examining and changing anxiety-provoking ways of thinking; and getting to the root causes of the anxiety in order to minimize recurrences and develop mastery over excessive anxiety.

Anxiety or Fears

Robynne OByrne

Psychologist, Ph.D.
Anxiety is perhaps the most common and distressing affliction from which people suffer. Anxiety has both neurological and psychological roots. In my work, I help my clients sort through the underlying causes of their anxiety and determine what interventions will be most effective. We focus on the somatic underpinnings of anxiety and learn practical and simple ways of managing and relieving anxiety.

Anxiety or Fears

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I have extensive experience working with anxiety. I help clients understand that their anxiety is a way they have protected themselves. And once we understand what it’s trying to protect them and why I then offer other ways of supporting the underlying vulnerability that don’t get in the way of moving toward the life they want.

Anxiety or Fears

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.
