Gemstone Wellness, Inc.
Psychologist, PsyD, LCPC, LCSW, LPC
At Gemstone Wellness, anxiety is not treated as something to simply “manage” or suppress—it is understood as a meaningful signal shaped by your nervous system, your history, and the environments you’ve had to adapt to. Rather than focusing only on symptom reduction, therapy begins by helping you understand why your anxiety exists and what it has been trying to protect.
Our approach is grounded in nervous system regulation and trauma-informed care. Many clients come in feeling overwhelmed by racing thoughts, chronic worry, panic, or a persistent sense of unease. We work collaboratively to slow these patterns down—helping you recognize triggers, understand the mind-body connection, and build the capacity to respond rather than react. Over time, this creates a greater sense of stability, clarity, and internal safety.
Treatment is not one-size-fits-all. We integrate a range of approaches—including cognitive and behavioral strategies, mindfulness, body-based awareness, and trauma-focused work—while remaining flexible to your needs, pace, and preferences. Tools are offered thoughtfully, not prescriptively, so that therapy feels supportive rather than overwhelming or performative.
Importantly, we recognize that anxiety is often rooted in deeper experiences: trauma, identity-based stress, cultural expectations, loss, or longstanding patterns of self-protection. Therapy at Gemstone Wellness makes space for these layers. We move beyond surface-level coping into insight—helping you untangle the beliefs, experiences, and relational patterns that keep anxiety in place.
The work is both practical and relational. You will gain tools to navigate moments of distress, but you will also develop a different relationship with yourself—one grounded in self-trust rather than fear. As that shift happens, anxiety often softens, not because it is forced away, but because it is no longer carrying the same burden alone.

Emily Hurlin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LISW, LCSW
Anxiety often lives in the body first: a tight chest, racing thoughts, a constant sense that something is about to go wrong. Along with talking through what worries you, I use body-based tools from Somatic Experiencing to help your nervous system learn what safety feels like again. When anxiety is rooted in past experiences, EMDR can help reduce its intensity. For couples, we also look at how one partner's anxiety and the other's response can feed each other, and how to interrupt that cycle.

Juliette Grantham
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I'm Juliette Grantham, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist specializing in anxiety.
Anxiety has a way of outliving its reasons. You resolve the thing you were worried about, and the worry finds a new home. It can show up as trouble sleeping because your mind will not slow down, replaying conversations and analyzing what you said, overthinking that leaves you stuck in your head, perfectionism that turns ordinary tasks into occasions for dread, or a body that carries tension it will not release. Generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and health anxiety often travel together with these patterns.
I work psychoanalytically, which means we follow the worry to its source with the goal of uprooting it, rather than only managing it. Anxiety carries an unconscious logic worth understanding: it is often protecting against a feeling or memory that once felt overwhelming. In sessions we trace the spiraling thoughts back toward their source. This is slower work than skills-based approaches, and it does not ask you to set aside what already helps, whether medication, exercise, or mindfulness. What it offers is different: understanding that tends to create change willpower alone could not reach.
If anxiety has been taking up more of your life than you want it to, I would be glad to talk.
