Anxiety or Fears
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.

Dr. Christina A Remek
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Anxiety is fear that is rooted in the past and the future. Sitting with that anxiety can be debilitating and keep you from your happiness in the present. If you work with me, I can help you start to let go of that fear and cultivate a more present state of being through learning mindfulness skills and relaxation training with biofeedback. Biofeedback lets you see your physical responses to stress in real time so you can learn to gain control over those responses, which will in turn positively affect your mental well-being.
