Anxiety
Wayne G. Siegel, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, Clinical Psychology
Anxiety isn’t always loud—it can show up as relentless overthinking, perfectionism, or the quiet dread of “what if.” Whether you're managing high-functioning anxiety, panic episodes, or chronic worry that’s begun to interfere with sleep, relationships, or decision-making, I offer a structured, research-backed approach to help you regain clarity and control.
My treatment integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), and the Unified Protocol to address both the symptoms and the underlying patterns that sustain anxiety. We’ll explore how your thoughts, behaviors, and core beliefs interact—and develop practical tools to interrupt the cycle. For clients with obsessive worry or rumination, I also offer targeted interventions, including Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT) and Response Prevention.
Therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your strengths. Whether you're a healthcare professional, entrepreneur, or someone navigating a major life transition, we’ll build a roadmap that supports both immediate relief and long-term resilience.

Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I work with individuals experiencing persistent worry, overthinking, and physical symptoms of anxiety that interfere with daily life. Drawing on extensive clinical experience treating anxiety and related concerns across community mental health and private practice settings, I incorporate biological and neurological education to help clients understand how anxiety affects the brain, body, and nervous system.
Anxiety is a naturally occurring process that can build slowly or appear suddenly. While many people associate anxiety only with panic attacks, it more often shows up as overthinking, constant analyzing, chronic worry, and a low-grade sense of never feeling fully safe. This ongoing activation can cause the limbic system to become overactive and gradually diminish the body’s ability to relax. Anxiety often gives the false impression of control over situations that are ultimately outside of our control.
In our work together, I teach practical skills to regulate the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, reduce reactivity, and restore a sense of internal stability. Together, we develop tools to manage uncertainty, increase tolerance for lack of control, and respond to stress with greater clarity, confidence, and emotional balance.

Anxiety
Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In my practice, I help patients struggling with anxiety and fears by utilizing a comprehensive and personalized approach tailored to their unique needs. I begin with a thorough assessment to understand the specific sources and impact of their anxiety. Education is provided to help patients recognize anxiety triggers and understand the physiological responses involved. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is employed to address negative thought patterns and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Mindfulness and relaxation techniques are taught to enhance self-awareness and reduce stress. Exposure therapy is used to gradually desensitize patients to their fears in a controlled and supportive environment. I also offer strategies for improving emotional regulation and building resilience. Family involvement is encouraged to create a supportive network, and a strength-based approach is used to build confidence and empowerment. Ongoing support and follow-up ensure continuous progress and adjustment of therapeutic strategies. This comprehensive approach aims to empower patients to manage their anxiety effectively, overcome their fears, and lead more fulfilling lives.

Anxiety
Shawna Stillwell
Marriage and Family Therapist, IMFT-S
Anxiety is the mind's way of trying to keep us safe but when it takes over, it can feel like the enemy. Rather than fighting your anxiety, I help you get to know it, which tends to reduce a lot of the internal conflict people are experiencing when they first come to me.
