Kinya M Lucas-Brown
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CPC
While some level of anxiety is normal and can even be helpful in certain situations, excessive or constant anxiety can have a negative impact on one's well-being. As a therapist, I pride myself on offering a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can openly express their thoughts and emotions. Through active listening and empathy, I aim to create a supportive environment that fosters healing and personal growth.

Ashley Miller Nolan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) has proved revolutionary for me and many clients I have worked with on reshaping our relationship to anxiety and fears from one of trying to avoid or control it OR be overwhelmed and drowned by it to one of acceptance and management of it. This latter way of relating to any unpleasant thought or feeling allows us to continue to thrive and be present for life even while we are experiencing it.

Nefertiti Nowell
Therapist, Dr.
Seeking help is a powerful step to improving your quality of life. Talking to someone about whatever your concerns are is something that almost anyone can benefit from, but many people are afraid to reach out. If you are considering therapy or coaching, I applaud you, and I really do want to help you find what you need to feel POWERFUL and help you develop the tools to have peace in your life.
I enjoy working with diverse clients, and have treated patients on the inpatient as well as outpatient basis. I began providing therapy in 1996, and have worked full time in several local hospitals before deciding to work full time in outpatient private practice. Though I work with many populations, I enjoy helping individuals with issues of trauma as well as working with couples. I work with all age ranges and have helped clients with a range of diagnosis. I use a variety of techniques, including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR. I am also a Certified Hypnotist and a trained mediator.

Jack Sweeney
Pre-Licensed Professional
Anxiety and fear are reasonable responses to life's curveballs. How we process these responses and engage with them will determine our relationship to the symptoms associated with them. I work to acknowledge the role anxiety plays in our lives by naming it and minimizing the harmful effects it can have on our day to day.

Sushma Cheturvedula
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
In my approach, helping someone with intense anxiety or overwhelming fears means getting how their feelings means getting how their feelings of not measuring up, stress, and just feeling down in different parts of their life can make their anxiety worse. We'd look into what's really behind their anxiety, like not being happy with work, arguments with loved ones, unresolved trauma from their past, or not knowing what the future holds. We will learn how to handle anxiety better, like spotting what sets it off, trying out relaxation methods, and challenging those negative thoughts. We'd also tackle any emotional stuff, relationship drama, work stress, or mid-life crisis stuff that's adding to their anxiety. The goal of therapy would be to help them dial down their anxiety and feel more in control of their life again.

Rick Rodgers
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LCSW, CADC, CCTP, RYT 500
Anxiety and fear is often created by trauma. Fear of the future fear the unknown is connected to the mind. I help separate you from the mind through meditation and evidence based therapies. You can get to the point where you can quiet the mind and observe the mind rather than be connected and be wrapped up in fear.

Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Anxiety and fears can come from different things like past experiences, stress, or big changes in life. I'd help someone with anxiety by figuring out what's causing their fears. Then, I'd use techniques from therapies like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness to help them deal with their anxiety and learn ways to cope. I might also use methods like Motivational Interviewing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help them face their fears and live a better life. In couples therapy, I'd use approaches like the Gottman method and Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy to deal with any relationship issues that might be making their anxiety worse.
