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.

Angela Nguyen
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
As much as I enjoy working with dynamics, I also hold a lot of compassion for the internal dynamic/relationship one has with themselves too. The way that we interact with ourselves and our emotions can exacerbate anxiety. By helping clients hold space for their own emotions, they also learn how to better cope with anxiety/depression/stress/self-esteem.

Anxiety
Dr. Monika Sharma
Psychologist, PsyD
We are all wired to avoid pain and seek pleasure; but foremost, to avoid pain. Because pain signals danger to most living creatures. As humans, one of the biggest discomforts we experience is anxiety. And we will do anything to reduce or avoid the things that create anxiety. However, this often backfires because the things that create feelings of anxiety are often things that truly matter. If they didn't truly matter, we wouldn't feel anxious or worried about them.
When we listen to our anxiety and try to reduce or avoid these feelings, we can end up moving away from the things that most matter to us.
I will teach you how to be curious about your uncomfortable feelings such as anxiety, anger, fear, sadness, loneliness, and overwhelm. This involves learning to build tolerance for uncomfortable feelings because they won't actually hurt us; approach these feelings without judgment; poke at them and examine them and see what lies within them; and then decide how we want to use these feelings as a compass to guide us toward those things that truly matter. You will feel empowered to be the master of your feelings, not a puppet to them.

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.
