Anxiety
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.

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.

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.

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.

Anne Dennis, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
In the current time we live in there has been an increase in generalized anxiety and fear. In the initial intake session we will gather the history of how anxiety is impairing your past and current daily living and wellness. In following sessions I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which is a very effective, evidence based therapeutic model to learn how to handle more effectively life's anxieties.

Drew Carr
Psychologist, Ph.D.
You had a good day. Work went well; you exercised; maybe even spent time with people you care about. Then you got home, noticed everything you had not done, opened your phone “for a minute,” and disappeared into comparison, research, or another plan to improve your life. By bedtime, the day no longer felt like enough. I work with thoughtful, driven folks, often ADHD or ADHD-ish, who look capable from the outside but feel restless, scattered, disconnected, or chronically behind. You may be successful and self-aware, yet exhausted from constantly trying to fix yourself.
My approach is practical and collaborative, grounded in contextual behavioral science. We look beneath procrastination, distraction, burnout, and indecision to understand how these patterns developed and what keeps them going. Therapy is not another performance test. It is a place to rebuild self-trust and act from what matters—not shame, fear, or proving.
I do not offer a final formula for what your life should be. I can help you slow the machinery down, recognize the rules that have been running you, and take the next honest step without abandoning yourself. If you have built a life that should feel meaningful but doesn't feel like home, contact me to see whether we're a good fit.
