Nathan Ely, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MDiv, LMFT
A lot of our anxiety comes from a fear of the unknown which leads us to feel unsafe. I have experience helping people process their anxiety and find emotional regulation in the midst of the pressures of life.

Bonnie Rae
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I am passionate and experienced in working with anxiety and fear. Fear is a primary emotion we often avoid feeling, resulting in anxiety and sophisticated defenses. In my work with ISTDP (intensive short-term dynamic therapy), I am trained and skilled at helping people understand and feel the feelings that are suppressed beneath the anxiety. Together, we will explore the root of your anxiety and fear, ultimately leading to a greater sense of freedom and an increased joy in life.

Mona Saba Valeriano
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Anxiety is often treated as the primary problem—especially when it shows up as panic or feels debilitating. While anxiety is very real and distressing, I often understand it as a signal: a masking emotion that points to deeper, unprocessed material beneath the surface.
When we lose connection to the early somatic cues of anxiety, it tends to intensify or become somatized. Drawing from ISTDP and IFS, I help clients build awareness of how anxiety lives in their bodies and strengthen their capacity to regulate it through mindfulness and nervous system attunement. When appropriate, we gently move beneath the anxiety to explore the underlying feelings and protective defenses driving it. As those deeper emotions are processed, anxiety symptoms often lessen naturally and sustainably.

Anxiety
Matthew Kijak, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Anxiety can be like a heavy fog, clouding our vision and weighing us down. But, as a therapist, I believe that together we can navigate through this fog and find the path to inner peace. By delving into the root causes of your anxiety and exploring practical strategies, we can work collaboratively to find a sense of calm amidst the chaos. Together, drawing from the wisdom of Eastern philosophy, mindfulness practices, and ancient stoic principles, we can explore new ways to calm the mind and the soul. This journey towards inner peace and self-discovery is something we'll undertake together, as equals, walking side by side.

Rich Painter, M.S.
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Life has a way of making us feel overwhelmed and out of control at times. Fears, stress, and anxiety can build up and consume your thoughts and feelings. I believe that by exploring unmet needs from the past, people can develop healthier relationships today. By working through painful losses and wounds, people can release unhelpful beliefs about themselves and others in order to live more fully in the present and with hope for the future. We are hurt in relationships; we are also healed in relationship, and the therapeutic relationship can be a useful resource. If you are ready to take the next step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

Leila Tabatabaee
Psychologist, PhD
Unfortunately, anxiety is incredibly common. This partly has to do with the way that our brain and nervous system is wired to keep us safe. I can help you develop an understanding of how you are wired, develop tools to rewire the aspects that are no longer serving you and gain freedom from the fears and anxieties that are limiting you.

Chloe Lankshear
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.Ed, Ed/S, LMFT
If you are living life with anxiety or an abundance of fear, it can be really limiting (not to mention unpleasant and stressful). I will do a comprehensive assessment to get to know you, your background story and your goals, so I have all of the relevant information. Then, I will put together a draft treatment plan, with your input. The details will depend on the person, but generally with anxiety, I start with teaching tools and tricks for managing symptoms. This is usually a trial and error approach as different things work for different people. This will give you a set of go-to strategies to help you feel more confident in managing symptoms when they arise. From there, I would move on to tackling the source of the anxiety and seeing if there are other ways of thinking that would be less anxiety-inducing, but still feel true. Then, I would look to help you expand your comfort zone gradually, to be your confidence in with the things that cause your anxiety.
