Anxiety therapists in Mount Airy, Maryland MD
Bill Dennis
Counselor/Therapist, M.Ed., C.E.O.
We become strong with time, meditation and yoga as well as running, walking, relationship, and love: work on mind, body, spirit. We often work in communities or groups. We do not focus on diagnosis but the person. Strength and flexibility come from inner and other work. There is always room to expand, grow, learn, commune, and replace one thing with a healthier thing. We will also work on practices that support change and focus. Community is essential for fear of any kind.

If anxiety is casting a shadow over your daily life, seeking psychotherapy can be a transformative step towards finding relief and building resilience. Anxiety can manifest in various ways, including persistent worry, fear, and physical symptoms such as tension and restlessness. In therapy, you'll have a supportive and confidential space to explore the root causes of your anxiety, identify triggers, and develop effective coping mechanisms. A skilled therapist can provide practical tools, such as relaxation techniques and cognitive-behavioral strategies, to manage anxious thoughts and behaviors. Together, you and your therapist can work towards understanding and challenging irrational fears, ultimately fostering a sense of control and well-being. Seeking psychotherapy for anxiety reflects a proactive commitment to your mental health, offering a personalized journey towards greater calmness and a more balanced life.

Stacey Hellman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C
Anxiety can be debilitating and scary in and of itself. An anxious person has a disregulated nervous system which needs to be addressed. While I am not an expert on specific phobias, I do know a lot of behavioral tools and techniques that can help manage anxiety in general. In more severe cases such as panic attacks or very debilitating anxiety, medication may be helpful to improve overall quality of life and day to day functioning. I don't prescribe medication but I can coordinate care with a doctor if needed. The techniques I use to mitigate symptoms of anxiety include specific breathing techniques and other body-centered tools that we can practice in session. Anxiety doesn't respond well to the client telling themself to "just calm down." Then it is up to the client to use these tools as much as possible on a daily basis in order to get the best results possible. Just like a medication, you can't just use a breathing technique one time and expect it to keep on working the next day. The nervous system is complicated and needs consistent soothing techniques in order to become more regulated. The more you practice the tools, the better they will work and the less anxious you will feel in general. When your nervous system is regulated, you are more resilient to stressful situations and are able to "bounce back" more quickly if you do get rattled.
