Anxiety
Nick Sotor
Psychologist, PsyD
Anxiety is a fear of what might happen. While strategies aimed at avoiding or controlling anxiety can sometimes work in the short term, often they only serve to reinforce and strengthen anxiety over time. My approach focuses on radical acceptance of anxiety as a way to reduce suffering.

Anxiety
Natalie A Shafer
Counselor/Therapist, MA, NCC, LPC
Anxiety and fear can show up as consistent worry, restlessness, or a sense of being on edge. These responses are often rooted in the mind and body’s effort to anticipate and protect against perceived threats. Together, we can better understand these patterns, gently challenge what may no longer serve you, and develop ways to feel more steady and at ease.

Anxiety
Dr. Monika Sharma
Psychologist, PsyD
We are all wired to avoid pain and seek pleasure; but foremost, to avoid pain. Because pain signals danger to most living creatures. As humans, one of the biggest discomforts we experience is anxiety. And we will do anything to reduce or avoid the things that create anxiety. However, this often backfires because the things that create feelings of anxiety are often things that truly matter. If they didn't truly matter, we wouldn't feel anxious or worried about them.
When we listen to our anxiety and try to reduce or avoid these feelings, we can end up moving away from the things that most matter to us.
I will teach you how to be curious about your uncomfortable feelings such as anxiety, anger, fear, sadness, loneliness, and overwhelm. This involves learning to build tolerance for uncomfortable feelings because they won't actually hurt us; approach these feelings without judgment; poke at them and examine them and see what lies within them; and then decide how we want to use these feelings as a compass to guide us toward those things that truly matter. You will feel empowered to be the master of your feelings, not a puppet to them.

Anxiety affects both the mind and body, and healing begins by reconnecting with both. Using EMDR, somatic awareness, creative expression, and relational support, I help clients move from overwhelm toward clam, clarity, and self-trust.

Anxiety
Angela Nguyen
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
As much as I enjoy working with dynamics, I also hold a lot of compassion for the internal dynamic/relationship one has with themselves too. The way that we interact with ourselves and our emotions can exacerbate anxiety. By helping clients hold space for their own emotions, they also learn how to better cope with anxiety/depression/stress/self-esteem.

Anxiety
Emily Blitz
Psychologist, PsyD
Anxiety often is often hard to experience, but it's also a signal pointing to your needs, relationships, or sense of safety. In our work together, we focus on calming your nervous system while also exploring what your anxiety might be trying to tell you—especially in relation to your early experiences, important life changes, or patterns in close relationships. By approaching it with curiosity and care, anxiety can become a guide toward greater understanding and a steadier sense of calm.

Anxiety
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.
