There are two kinds of worriers: the what...iffers and the woulda...coulda..shouldas . The what...iffers worry about the future and the woulda...coulda...shoulders worry about the past. There are also two kinds of worries, reasonable and unreasonable. Reasonable worries are worries that a person can make a plan for, relieving them of the worry. Unreasonable worries are worries that have no plan and need to be replaced with calming strategies and reframing thoughts.

Authentically You Counseling
Treatment Center, LCMHC
Scheduling at AYC is easy - schedule an intake as soon as next week. Finding the courage to be true to yourself despite the challenges you have to overcome is the ultimate goal of therapy. I believe one of the greatest grievances is living an inauthentic life with who you are. Regardless of what you’ve been through, if something is stopping you from living your truth - if fear prevents you from engaging in life the way you want or you are attempting to live up to some societal or personal expectation so far out of reach it hurts - If something is preventing you from living your fullest life, you can make a difference!
I want to help you reach your fullest potential according to your personal truth, values and beliefs. If we embark on this journey together, you will be the driver. I will simply help you see the different paths to reaching your end goal. In the end, you must be true to yourself in choosing the path you wish to take - or none at all.
Finding your truth sometimes means making a decision about whether or not to live your full truth. We can work together to help you explore your options to make the right choice for You. Making the call (or email) to start your journey is the first step - Let us start your journey together!

Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
None of us is immune to anxiety and I believe we need a certain amount of anxiety in order to get out of bed each morning and to push ourselves to meet all that we have to accomplish in a given day. Balance, however, is essential. Too much anxiety immobilizes and stymies us, but too little can also create complications for motivation, productivity, goal-setting, and self-esteem.

Catherine Bitney
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
I have a passion for helping clients reduce anxiety and OCD. Some of my clients have started therapy because they want to rid themselves of anxiety altogether. I try to remind them that people who don't have anxiety also have issues, think about psychopaths! Anxiety at it's core is trying to keep us safe. I like to re-tune anxiety, so that we can listen to the warnings without getting overwhelmed, shutting down, or avoiding the world and challenges. Research in psychology shows that we feel more confident and have higher self-esteem when we can accomplish difficult tasks. The goal is not to shy away from challenges and stressors, but to learn to face them, manage them better, and have success stories.

Aria Fraser
Hypnotherapist, Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist
We are not born with most fears; the only fears that all babies are born with are a fear of falling/ being dropped, and fear of loud noises; every other fear is learned, with an origin in a negative experience (usually at a young age), with the thing that is feared. It can also be used as a coping mechanism in place of something else, such as to avoid certain situations or other feelings. Anxiety that has reached a higher-than-normal level can also be learned, and arises when your nervous system keeps telling you that you're in danger (even with inherently non-dangerous events like tests and public speaking), and also has roots in negative childhood experiences that have led to a belief that a person would be rejected or not good enough, or they felt not safe. Rapid Transformational Therapy is very effective at identifying how the fear or anxiety was created as a survival or coping skill. Once its cause is identified, it can be reframed, interrupted, and the subconscious mind can then focus on sending messages of safety and coping beliefs to calm the nervous system. The personalized recording focuses on these messages, as well as on visualizations of feeling the opposite of fear when the situations/ things that evoked it are encountered. The person's nervous system will calm more easily and quickly through the repetition of the new empowering subconscious beliefs, and amazing coping skills will develop. Other coping mechanisms/ skills that calm the nervous system for everyday stresses can be advised if needed, and ongoing support will be available.
