Anxiety or Fears
Sharon Roth
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Polyvagal theory offers a fascinating lens through which to understand anxiety and its physiological underpinnings. According to this theory, our nervous system responds to stress and threat in three distinct ways: fight-or-flight, freeze, and the social engagement system. Anxiety often arises when our nervous system becomes dysregulated, leading to an overactivation of the fight-or-flight response or a shutdown into freeze mode. By exploring polyvagal theory in therapy, clients can gain insight into how their body responds to stress and learn techniques to regulate their nervous system. I also use EMDR therapy as a promising approach for alleviating anxiety, offering a unique avenue for processing distressing experiences and reducing associated symptoms. Through this process, individuals can experience a shift in how they perceive and respond to anxiety-provoking situations, fostering a sense of empowerment and control. Exposure therapy is another powerful tool in the arsenal against anxiety, offering a structured approach to facing fears and breaking free from their grip. Through gradual and systematic exposure to anxiety-provoking stimuli, clients can learn to confront their fears in a safe and controlled environment.

Everybody experiences anxiety or worry occasionally. Anxiety is a typical human response to demanding circumstances. However, those anxieties and fears remain persistent for those who suffer from anxiety disorders. They continue to experience anxiety, which may possibly worsen with time.
Anxiety disorders can seriously hinder a person's performance in social, academic, and occupational settings. Anxiety may also affect a person's relationships with friends and family. Thankfully, there are efficient anxiety treatments available. I've worked with adults with anxiety for several years, so I know we can discover solutions to ease your discomfort and start redefining what it means to be neurodiverse together.

Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
Anxiety looks a little different in all of us and finds its foothold based on a variety of factors: genetics, early experiences, current stressors, and social discomfort, to name a few. For some people it is utterly debilitating in one or more domains of life and for others it’s an unpleasant refrigerator hum that dampens an otherwise well-lived life.
Therapy can help you both regulate the intensity of anxiety and make a pivot in how you respond to its presence, making way for less struggle and more opportunities for choosing how you want to live.

Dr. Christina A Remek
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Anxiety is fear that is rooted in the past and the future. Sitting with that anxiety can be debilitating and keep you from your happiness in the present. If you work with me, I can help you start to let go of that fear and cultivate a more present state of being through learning mindfulness skills and relaxation training with biofeedback. Biofeedback lets you see your physical responses to stress in real time so you can learn to gain control over those responses, which will in turn positively affect your mental well-being.
