Mariko Roberts
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LCPC
Anxiety can feel like a constant uphill battle — but it doesn't have to be. I work with clients to shift that relationship, moving from struggle and resistance to curiosity and understanding. By exploring what fuels your anxiety, we can work together to find a calmer, more grounded way of showing up in your life and relationships.

Andrew McKenzie, Psy.D.
Psychologist
Anxiety tries to convince us that certainty is the only path to safety, leaving us caught in cycles of overthinking, worry, or avoidance of challenging but important life activities. Instead of treating anxiety as the enemy, we'll become curious about what it's trying to accomplish and why it has become so persistent. Together, we'll learn more flexible ways of responding to anxious thoughts and feelings so they no longer dictate your decisions. The goal isn't to eliminate anxiety altogether, but to help you build a life that's guided more by your sense of purpose than by fear.

Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
The worry doesn't turn off. You run through scenarios, anticipate problems, prepare for disasters that never arrive. Your body stays tense even when there's no immediate threat. People tell you to relax, as if you hadn't thought of that, as if you wouldn't if you could. We work with anxiety not by trying to make it disappear but by helping you understand what's driving it and changing your relationship to it. You can learn to feel the discomfort without being controlled by it. Our clinicians use evidence-based approaches that actually work, not just reassurance that wears off by the time you get to your car. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.

Best Therapies, Inc.
Therapist
Anxiety is one of the most common presenting problems for people coming into therapy. Work pressures, families and relationships, reading the news, and the dumpster fire that is social media can all be sources of stress. For folks with anxiety, severe stress can trigger anything from rumination and worry to panic attacks.

Sarah Farris
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, LPC
Anxiety can present in a number of ways, including worrying thoughts about several areas of life, rumination, physical tension and restlessness, sleep difficulty/insomnia, mind going blank, and avoidance. Feelings of anxiety can make daily tasks seem overwhelming, leading to doubtful decision making, difficulty performing your best, or interference with the things you care about most. I utilized evidence-based practices designed to treat anxiety and fears, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), and mindfulness methods. My therapeutic style includes values driven skill development, supportive therapy, behavioral experiments, and coping strategies to help adults manage worry and overcome fears.
