Dr. Felicia Jackson
Psychologist, PhD
Anxiety can make it difficult to relax, make decisions, or feel comfortable with uncertainty. You might spend hours anticipating what could go wrong, seek reassurance, or avoid situations that feel uncomfortable. Therapy can help you change your relationship with worry and fear, build confidence in your ability to handle uncertainty, and gradually reclaim the time and energy that anxiety has been taking from you.

Dr. Cheryl D La Rotta
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Ph.D, LMHC
Anxiety is more than just 'worrying'—it is a physiological state where your nervous system is stuck in a cycle of perceived danger. As a Doctor of Psychotherapy, I specialize in helping you move out of this state of hyper-vigilance. By utilizing EMDR and Hypnotherapy, we can address the 'glitch' in the brain’s alarm system, desensitizing the fears that hold you back. Whether you are battling a specific phobia, social anxiety, or the constant hum of generalized fear, our work is about teaching your body that it is finally safe to exhale.

Dr. JD Wright

I draw from cognitive, somatic, and positive psychological approaches when working with anxiety. We will focus first on strategies to help you feel more in control of your present symptoms and struggles. We can then turn to working with underlying concerns to help you feel confident that real change is happening.

Lisa Botticelli
Psychologist, Ph.D., PMH-C, c-DBT
I help clients better manage anxious, obsessive, or ruminative thoughts. While we may not be able to fully control anxious thoughts or fears, we can build practices to change the response to these mental activities and redirect attention back to the present moment. I also work with clients with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counselor, MS, CMHC, CLC
We know the pains and frustrations of anxiety firsthand: What it feels like when your chest tightens, your mind races, and sleep feels miles away. Maybe you’ve tried thinking positive, pushing through, or even meditation—but the fear keeps coming back. You’re not broken. You’re just tired of living in fight-or-flight.

• Release chronic tension and racing thoughts
• Learn grounding and breath techniques for moments of panic
• Heal the roots of fear, shame, and control
• Build confidence and clarity in decision-making
• Strengthen your faith so fear no longer has the final say
