Marnie Kahn
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, HeartMath Certified Practitioner
Anxiety can be a debilitating and painful experience, which can stop individuals from living and experiencing life at its fullest. I teach individuals how to become aware of their thoughts rather than be consumed and fused with them. I have found that people get so caught up in their anxiety provoking thoughts that they actually believe they are the thought, rather than being the person who is experiencing the thought. I teach people how to take back their life again!
Combining awareness with the HeartMaths tools of creating coherence teaches people how to shift out of negative and anxious mindsets and into more positive renewing feelings.

Kisha Winston-Watkins
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C, MBA
Fear and anxiety can make everyday life feel heavier than it should. Whether it shows up as constant worry, racing thoughts, or feeling “on edge,” these emotions can quietly take over — stealing joy, interfering with goals, and limiting our ability to function at our best. Many people try to push through alone, but you don’t have to.
I help individuals understand what’s driving their anxiety and fear while teaching practical, evidence‑based tools to regain control. My approach is warm, supportive, and grounded in meeting you exactly where you are. Together, we work to reduce overwhelm, calm the mind, and rebuild the sense of stability and confidence you deserve.
If you’re ready to feel lighter, clearer, and more in control, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

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.

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.
