As an Asian therapist (clinical psychologist), I specialize in helping individuals navigate the complexities of anxiety, panic, and chronic stress. My practice blends evidence-based clinical treatments with a deep, personal understanding of cultural nuances, family expectations, and the unique pressures of the Asian diaspora.

Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, NCCA CTCC CPC
In our dedicated anxiety and fear management counseling, we offer compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to help individuals navigate the complexities of anxiety, panic, and phobias. Recognizing that anxiety can manifest in diverse ways—from generalized anxiety to specific phobias and panic attacks—we provide a supportive and understanding environment where clients can safely confront their fears and learn practical strategies for managing anxiety.
Personalized Approaches to Anxiety Management
* Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): A cornerstone of our approach, CBT helps individuals understand the relationship between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Through CBT, clients learn to identify and challenge distorted thought patterns and beliefs contributing to anxiety, replacing them with healthier, more balanced ways of thinking.
* Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques: Incorporating mindfulness practices and relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and meditation, can significantly reduce symptoms of anxiety. These methods teach clients how to stay present and grounded, managing anxiety symptoms as they arise.
* Exposure Counseling: Gradually and safely exposing individuals to the source of their fears in a controlled setting can help diminish the power those fears hold.
* Stress Management: Learning to manage stress through time management, lifestyle changes, and healthy coping mechanisms can significantly reduce overall anxiety levels. We work with clients to identify sources of stress in their lives and develop practical solutions to address them.
* Strengths-Based Approach: Emphasizing the strengths and resources that each individual brings into therapy allows for a more empowering approach to managing anxiety. By building on these strengths, clients can foster a greater sense of confidence and resilience.
Goals of Counseling for Anxiety or Fears
The ultimate goal of our counseling sessions is not merely to reduce symptoms but to enhance overall well-being and quality of life. Through counseling, clients can achieve:
* Increased Coping Skills: Gain a toolkit of strategies to manage anxiety symptoms effectively when they arise.
* Improved Self-Understanding: A deeper insight into the triggers of anxiety and how past experiences may influence current reactions.
* Enhanced Quality of Life: With reduced anxiety, individuals can enjoy more fulfilling social interactions, better performance at work or school, and a richer, more engaging life.
If you or someone you know is struggling with anxiety or fears, let's work together to develop a comprehensive, personalized path to managing these feelings and fostering a more peaceful, satisfying life.

Dr. L A McCrae
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCADC, FOT, CCTP, CCTSA
When navigating Anxiety or Fears, we use sandplay and bibliotherapy to externalize the internal storms that keep you stuck. As a scholar-practitioner, I help you deconstruct the carceral narratives that fuel your hyper-vigilance. We work together to find a "felt sense" of safety that allows you to breathe in a world that often feels breathless.

Greta Carlson, Psy.D., ABPP
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety and prolonged exposure therapy for specific phobias/fears, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). CBT includes identifying and challenging specific beliefs that may be connected to anxiety and stress responses in the body, and prolonged exposure therapy includes learning and practicing skills to manage and regulate anxiety, finding ways to identify signs of anxiety in the body, and helping you overcome specific fears through gradual and careful exposure to the stimulus that brings on a fear response.

Jess Williams
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSS, LCSW
As a therapist who specializes in anxiety, I understand just how complex it can feel to start moving the needle on how anxiety affects your life. Many of my clients find themselves spiraling about how others view them, whether or not they're failing at life, how they will ever find a partner, or if they're even good enough for the partner(s) they do have. Some folks experience a lot of physical manifestations of their anxiety as well - the racing heart, shallow breathing, not-so-good tingly feeling, or even exhaustion of carrying it all. In my work with clients, we begin by trying to understand the roots of some of their anxieties, what messaging is reinforcing it, and how they would like to feel differently. We work with both the mind and the body to both understand anxiety from an intellectual standpoint, and to get a bigger picture of what your body is doing and why. I do not believe that anxiety has to be a "forever" thing - and putting the mind and body techniques together is often the key to making progress, even if that's felt impossible for a long time.
Starting therapy can be anxiety-provoking at times, which is why I offer free consultations to all prospective clients. You can book a free 20 minute phone call directly on my website, and I'll reach out to you right away to confirm. We can chat about what you're looking for support with AND make sure everything feels like a good fit before scheduling an intake. I can't wait to connect with you!

Anxiety is a normal response to uncertainty that often leads to unhelpful behaviors. Understanding the physiology of anxiety and normalizing the experience is an important step in acceptance and management of symptoms. I help clients change their relationship with anxiety to support self compassion and change.
