Summer Stewart, PsyD
Pre-Licensed Professional, PsyD
Anxiety doesn’t have to run the show. Maybe your mind never seems to shut off. You’re constantly overthinking, second-guessing yourself, or playing out worst-case scenarios. Even when nothing is “wrong,” your body still feels on edge—tight chest, racing thoughts, that pit in your stomach you can’t quite explain.
You’re tired of being stuck in your head, tired of the fear, tired of feeling like you're always holding it together for everyone else. I get it. Anxiety can make even the smallest things feel overwhelming. But you don’t have to keep living this way.
Therapy is a space to breathe again—to calm your nervous system, untangle the noise in your mind, and finally feel more present and in control. Together, I'll help you understand what’s fueling the anxiety and offer you tools to manage it in a way that feels gentle, doable, and tailored to you.
You're not broken. You're overwhelmed—and you deserve support. Let’s help you find ease, clarity, and confidence again. You don’t have to keep doing this alone.

Dr. Sam Macy
Psychologist, PsyD
When high anxiety and fear take over, they can hold us back from living fuller, richer, and more engaging lives. Therapy can be transformative in helping people confront and overcome the fears and worries that limit us.

Anxiety
Natalie A Shafer
Counselor/Therapist, MA, NCC, LPC
Anxiety and fear can show up as consistent worry, restlessness, or a sense of being on edge. These responses are often rooted in the mind and body’s effort to anticipate and protect against perceived threats. Together, we can better understand these patterns, gently challenge what may no longer serve you, and develop ways to feel more steady and at ease.

Anxiety
Gemstone Wellness, Inc.
Psychologist, PsyD, LCPC, LCSW, LPC
At Gemstone Wellness, anxiety is not treated as something to simply “manage” or suppress—it is understood as a meaningful signal shaped by your nervous system, your history, and the environments you’ve had to adapt to. Rather than focusing only on symptom reduction, therapy begins by helping you understand why your anxiety exists and what it has been trying to protect.
Our approach is grounded in nervous system regulation and trauma-informed care. Many clients come in feeling overwhelmed by racing thoughts, chronic worry, panic, or a persistent sense of unease. We work collaboratively to slow these patterns down—helping you recognize triggers, understand the mind-body connection, and build the capacity to respond rather than react. Over time, this creates a greater sense of stability, clarity, and internal safety.
Treatment is not one-size-fits-all. We integrate a range of approaches—including cognitive and behavioral strategies, mindfulness, body-based awareness, and trauma-focused work—while remaining flexible to your needs, pace, and preferences. Tools are offered thoughtfully, not prescriptively, so that therapy feels supportive rather than overwhelming or performative.
Importantly, we recognize that anxiety is often rooted in deeper experiences: trauma, identity-based stress, cultural expectations, loss, or longstanding patterns of self-protection. Therapy at Gemstone Wellness makes space for these layers. We move beyond surface-level coping into insight—helping you untangle the beliefs, experiences, and relational patterns that keep anxiety in place.
The work is both practical and relational. You will gain tools to navigate moments of distress, but you will also develop a different relationship with yourself—one grounded in self-trust rather than fear. As that shift happens, anxiety often softens, not because it is forced away, but because it is no longer carrying the same burden alone.
