Anxiety or Fears
Karen Petren
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Anxiety can be debilitating, yet people who don’t have it can unknowingly be dismissive of it. It can be so lonely. Working with an experienced therapist who truly gets it can radically change your perspective and dramatically improve the quality of your life. CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy) are two treatment modalities I use to help you question your negative thoughts and begin to believe that you can decide how we you to feel.

The tools that I'll provide you with are tools that I have been perfecting over my career helping people just like you. I have dozens of them. My goal for you is to have at least five different tools and techniques that you can carry with you at all times. So no matter where you go, you'll always have access to discreet exercises that can quickly create relief. I am direct and solution focused. We'll work collaboratively to address the anxiety attacks that are bothering you right now. We'll start with what's going on in the moment and how to get control over your body and thoughts. For the past 10 years, my practice has been focused on helping people get rid of anxiety. I have attended trainings that teach leading edge techniques. We'll address what's going on in your brain when you feel anxious and how to get in touch with different parts of your brain to find relief. We'll discuss what happens to your body when fear takes over so you can learn how to quickly calm down. You'll gain resilience so that attacks don't continue in the future.

Anxiety or Fears
Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anxiety is not a feeling so much as a state of being. Anxiety attaches it self to a variety of emotional states, adding energy and intensity to our thoughts and actions. There is NO eliminating anxiety. It is hardwired within us, a biological necessity for our survival as a species. Why do we try so hard to destroy it? Because, we reply, it is unpleasant, and disruptive, to our lives. So the key then is to manage it, to reduce its intensity, and to better understand when, where and why it erupts within us.

Santa Monica combines proximity to the entertainment industry with a strong wellness culture, creating demand for therapists who specialize in performance anxiety, the pressures of creative and entertainment careers, identity, and the particular stresses of living adjacent to fame and public scrutiny. The area's affluent demographic and beach lifestyle coexist with significant rates of anxiety, eating concerns, and relationship distress, and the Westside has a notably high density of experienced therapists relative to its size. Providence Saint John's Health Center and UCLA Health provide institutional mental health anchors for the Westside community. Many Santa Monica therapists also serve clients from Malibu, Pacific Palisades, and the broader Westside corridor.
