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.

Mind Body Connections

We each approach working with this differently. Through the use of trauma informed somatic body based approaches we work with the client to become more aware of how the anxiety shows up in their body and then practice tools to emotionally regulate the system.

XaHara A. MeGod
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, R-DMT, CPT
Anxiety often lives in the body as tightness, restlessness, or fear. I offer culturally attuned, body-based tools to help you recognize early signs of anxiety and interrupt the cycle before it overwhelms you. We’ll explore how systemic stress, perfectionism, or past trauma may fuel your worry, and we’ll build grounding practices that restore a sense of calm and choice.
