Newport Institute
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Anxiety issues in young adults can be crippling. At this critical stage of life, as they confront the hard work of establishing autonomy and selfhood, anxiety in young adults can be paralyzing. As a result, the demands of college-level academics, the workplace, and intimate relationships become too much to handle. Perhaps it’s no surprise that one recent study found that 50 percent of millennials and a full 75 percent of Gen Z youth have left a job for mental health reasons.

Anxiety or Fears
Shelly Melroe
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Symptoms of anxiety and worry are natural artifacts of early life experiences that kept us from learning healthy habits with emotions. Unfortunately, you may have learned to fear uncertainty or believe that you cannot handle stressors and need to 'manage' them out of your life. This appears controlling and manipulating and can cause harm to relationships without any relief to the original anxiety or fear. The good news is that it CAN reshape these habits, embodied within your nervous system, to be engaged with all emotions for improved health and relationships.

Living with anxiety can turn even the simplest of daily tasks into daunting challenges. What might seem effortless to others can trigger intense worry, restlessness, and even emotional paralysis for those grappling with anxiety. Whether you've inherited a genetic predisposition to anxiety from your family or have been thrust into this state due to uncontrollable life circumstances, the struggle is real. It could even be a blend of various factors contributing to your anxiety. But regardless of its origins, there are effective methods to alleviate anxiety, regain a sense of self-control, cope with everyday hardships, and confront difficult situations with confidence.
As a licensed psychologist, I wield one of my profession's most potent tools: the ability to teach you how to harness the immense potential of your mind to reshape your responses to life's twists and turns. My specialized training in neuropsychology, EMDR, clinical hypnosis, and somatic techniques equips me to offer profound assistance to those battling anxiety. I employ meditation, mindfulness, guided imagery, breathwork, and visualization to guide you in quelling your symptoms and taking charge of your anxiety. Furthermore, I delve into the underlying negative thoughts and core beliefs that may be fueling your anxiety, arming you with invaluable self-empowerment tools to navigate your inner experiences and minimize suffering.
Anxiety is a multifaceted adversary, encompassing various forms such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia, Social Anxiety, Phobias, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Most frequently, it manifests as chronic worry and fear, casting a shadow over every aspect of life. Nonetheless, with the right therapeutic strategies, I can guide you towards seizing control of your thoughts, conquering your anxiety, and embracing a life brimming with serenity and happiness.
