Anxiety
Michael Losoff
Psychologist, PhD
Michael treats anxiety as more than just a symptom to be silenced, exploring it as a meaningful signal that points toward deeper, unresolved conflicts or life transitions.
Anxiety often feels like an internal alarm that won’t turn off. Even though it often can contain a neurobiological component, it usually serves as a protective—albeit exhausting—response to deeper vulnerabilities. With over 35 years of clinical experience, Michael helps clients move beyond merely managing "nerves" to understanding what their anxiety is trying to communicate. By utilizing a psychodynamic approach, he explores the underlying roots of worry, whether they stem from early life patterns, complex trauma, or the existential pressures of major transitions. This collaborative work aims to transform the energy of anxiety into self-awareness, allowing for a more grounded, peaceful, and intentional life.

Beck Gardner
Pre-Licensed Professional, M.A.
I find psychoanalytic therapy can be quite helpful in treating anxiety and other fears. Understanding your worries, their nuances, and where they come from, can often help people change their relationship to them and better ways of managing them.

My communication style varies based on the person. I try my best to meet the person where they are by providing a safe space for them to be as expressive as they want.

Susan Killelea
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Sex Therapist
I use Acceptance & Commitment Therapy interventions and mindfulness techniques to assist clients in addressing anxiety, stress and trauma in their lives. This approach helps clients abandon restrictive strategies and instead experience and accept difficult thoughts and feelings as a necessary part of a worthy life.

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.
