Anxiety
Sarah Gersick
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When new stressors arise, they can activate old patterns that make it hard to cope in a healthy way. It helps to have a place to talk through what is making you anxious today while also working to understand how the past is contributing to present symptoms. I am an experienced psychodynamic psychologist who can help you do both, so you can learn techniques to reduce distress you are feeling now, and make deep changes that lead to better coping in the future.

Richard S. Shapiro Ph.D., ABPP
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP
Have you been avoiding the people, places, or things that used to give you pleasure? Do you feel hijacked by your emotions? Are you a perfectionist or someone who needs things to be a certain way all the time? Has anxiety or fears caused your life-space to shrink? You may be suffering from an anxiety disorder. In your work with me we will focus on understanding how you think and feel and construct your world along with the factors that are holding you back. We will work on ways for you to gradually and safely re-engage with those aspects of your life that you used to love. In our work together I will help you to reduce the subtle and the obvious emotional and cognitive avoidance that derails you and maintains your fear cycle. We will focus on learning new skills, practicing new ways to approach life based on your needs, interests, and values. We will focus on reducing felt chaos and replacing behavioral and emotional rigidity with flexibility .

Anxiety
Linda Michlin Ludwig
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Anxiety for better or worse is part of being human. Take for example test-taking. Too little anxiety and you won't study sufficiently for the test. Too much anxiety and you can't concentrate. Anxiety is inevitable. Let's talk about your anxiety. Let's break it down. Let's make it manageable. Fears are usually more specific than anxiety. Fears and anxieties can often be understood on a continuum from realistic to unrealistic. If you prefer, I can suggest workbooks for out of session help with these emotions.

Daniel Snow
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Anxiety can rule a person's life- restricting what they do or say, who they talk to, what they do, and where they go. It becomes a prison of our own making, though it can feel like an overpowering force to be avoided. There are tools and skills to free one's self of anxiety and the limitations it places, though it does take a real intention to change one's relationship to anxiety, once and for all.

Richard (Rick) Brodsky
Psychologist, PsyD, MA
Anxiety and fears often develop into persistent patterns of thought and behaviors. Sometimes it rises to the point of a pattern of panic attacks. This has been a strong focus of my practice for over 20 years. It is an area I teach at NYU. Through the methods and strategies of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy we can use exposure methods and supportive talk therapy to untangle these patterns.

Anna Diamantis
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, PMH-C
Anxiety or fear can quietly shrink your world through constant worry, panic, or avoiding anything that might set them off. I use cognitive behavioral therapy and exposure-based tools to help adults understand what keeps the cycle going and practice new ways of responding. We'll work toward concrete skills you can use between sessions so everyday life feels more manageable again.

Clare Campbell
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience, I provide intensive psychotherapy for individuals navigating anxiety and the emotional toll of persistent stress. I offer telehealth sessions to clients across the United States, as well as in-person appointments in Darien, Connecticut. My approach is highly individualized, grounded in the belief that meaningful change arises through a deeper understanding of one’s emotional life in the present moment. Together, we will work to uncover and shift long-standing patterns that may be interfering with your well-being, relationships, or sense of self. I aim to bring both compassion and challenge to our work—meeting you with respect, curiosity, and acceptance, while also encouraging growth toward a more authentic and connected version of yourself.
