Allison Margolis
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC, LICSW, RN
An anxiety disorder is a medical condition that needs proper treatment and cannot be overcome simply through willpower or a change in attitude. At Bell Health, we will create an individualized treatment plan based on your needs, which may include medication, psychotherapy, or lifestyle changes.

The Becoming Therapy Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, LMFT
Anxiety in women often doesn't look like panic. It looks like over-functioning, constant worry, difficulty resting, and the nagging feeling that something is always about to go wrong. We help women identify the roots of their anxiety, quiet the noise, and build a nervous system that doesn't have to stay on high alert. Whether your anxiety is tied to pregnancy, parenting, identity, or simply the weight of everything you're holding, you'll find steady, evidence-based support here.

Angelynn Lindor
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Anxiety can feel overwhelming—racing thoughts, constant worry, fear of the unknown, and difficulty finding peace. I help clients unpack what’s beneath the anxiety and develop tools to manage it with clarity and confidence. Using a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and a trauma-informed lens, we work together to interrupt anxious thought patterns and build emotional regulation skills. For those who desire it, I also offer space to explore anxiety through a spiritual lens, helping you reconnect with grounding practices that bring calm and purpose. Whether your anxiety is situational or long-standing, you don’t have to navigate it alone—healing is possible.

Join the Rebellion (JTR23 Inc)
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
High-performing men often experience anxiety not as panic attacks or visible distress but as relentless overthinking, an inner critic that never quiets, and a nervous system perpetually braced for the next threat to their reputation or results. I specialize in anxiety treatment for men using Character Driven Therapy to identify the belief systems and identity patterns generating anxiety — not just manage the symptoms. The goal is permanent relief built on understanding the roots of the anxiety, not an ongoing coping strategy that has to be maintained indefinitely.

Vida Mendez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW, EMDR II
You are everyone’s go-to person. High achievement and performance in everything you do is expected. Picking up the slack and getting the job done at all costs is just what you do. Others praise your drive and work ethic—you don’t miss a beat. Whether it’s in your relationships, at work, or in your family, you carry more than your share of the responsibility.
On the inside, it’s a different story. You may be constantly on edge, overthinking, running on fumes, or feeling like you can never fully relax. This level of pressure is exhausting, but slowing down doesn’t feel like an option.
I help clients work through the experiences that are driving these patterns so anxiety no longer has the same hold on them. Using EMDR, we address what’s underneath the anxiety so you can feel more grounded, calm, and in control.

Yourdeline Sertyl
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Anxiety can feel constant and exhausting, especially when you’re used to being high-functioning on the outside. Racing thoughts, overthinking, physical tension, and worst-case-scenario thinking can interfere with daily life. I use evidence-based approaches like CBT to help you challenge anxious thought patterns while building grounding and coping skills that promote calm, clarity, and confidence.

Anxiety
Abelee Groff
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
I work with anxiety and fears through a trauma-informed, nervous system–focused approach that goes beyond symptom management. Rather than viewing anxiety as something to eliminate, I help clients understand how anxiety developed as a protective response and how it shows up in the body, thoughts, and relationships. This work often includes building awareness of triggers, increasing emotional tolerance, and restoring a sense of safety.
I integrate attachment-based therapy, somatic strategies, and parts-informed work to support emotional regulation, reduce reactivity, and strengthen self-trust. Therapy focuses on helping clients respond to anxiety with curiosity and compassion, while developing practical tools to feel more grounded, resilient, and connected in daily life.

CELACare
Counselor/Therapist, Roselle O'Brien, LMHC
Anxiety can often make even the smallest things seem challenging if not unreachable or undoable. You don't have to struggle alone. Together we'll work on strategies (many of which are DBT-based) to help manage feelings of anxiety in-the-moment, as well as explore the roots of the anxiety with a focus on how to best manage reducing its symptoms going forward.

Online in Boston, MA Massachusetts (Online Only)
Boston's extraordinary concentration of universities — including Harvard, MIT, Boston University, and Northeastern — generates strong demand for therapists specializing in academic pressure, young adult transitions, and anxiety. The area is home to world-class mental health institutions including Massachusetts General Hospital and nearby McLean Hospital in Belmont, and many private therapists work in close collaboration with these systems. Boston's large student and young professional population drives high demand for therapists focusing on identity, relationships, and adjustment to major life changes. The city also has a significant immigrant population from Cape Verde, China, Vietnam, and Latin America, with bilingual and culturally informed therapists well represented.
