Dr. Pam Heilman
Psychologist, Psy.D., LCP
Are you struggling with overthinking, worrying or rumination? Perhaps you are dealing with physical symptoms of anxiety or panic such as shortness of breath, shaking, or physical tension. I have extensive experience treating anxiety. Together, we can help you develop insight into the patterns of triggers, thoughts, sensations, emotions, and behaviors that are triggering your anxiety. Once we have that information, we can begin to help you break out of those patterns that are not serving you well.

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.

Annette Popernik
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Anxiety makes us scatter-brained, irritated, annoyed, edgy, overwhelmed, and so much more. We get frustrated with anxiety and we get anxiety about having anxiety. Let's identify the ways anxiety shows up for you and how we can address this. It's not about fixing it or making it go away but rather about learning how to cope with it when it arises. We can actually decrease the intensity over time but we cannot expect it to be "cured." You are enough. You are not your anxiety.

Meghan Luse
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCPC
Chronic anxiety is often the result of a nervous system that is stuck in a state of high alert. Rather than just focusing on coping skills, we will look at the underlying causes of your distress. We will utilize somatic tools to help you recognize how anxiety physically manifests in your body, allowing us to actively work on regulating your nervous system so you can feel more settled.
