Jenna Buono
Therapist, LPMHC
At Petals Therapy Psychotherapy, we support clients who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, persistent worry, or fears that interfere with daily life. Whether your anxiety shows up as racing thoughts, physical tension, avoidance, or a sense of always being “on alert,” we understand how draining it can be to carry that weight alone.
Our approach focuses on helping you understand the roots of your anxiety, gain tools to calm your nervous system, and shift patterns that keep you feeling stuck. We work collaboratively to reduce fear’s hold on your life, build emotional resilience, and restore a sense of safety and control.
With the right support, anxiety becomes more manageable, your perspective becomes clearer, and your confidence grows. You deserve to move through the world with ease, rather than fear, and we’re here to help you get there.

Chrissie Chua- Ly van manh
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D, LPC
I have over 10 years of experience supporting clients experiencing mild to severe anxiety and fear-based struggles. My approach combines evidence-based strategies with deeper emotional exploration to help clients better understand and manage their anxiety in both the short and long term.
I often integrate CBT-based tools to help clients identify anxious thought patterns, challenge unhelpful thinking, and develop more realistic and balanced ways of responding to stress. Alongside this, I incorporate somatic and mindfulness-based practices to help clients become more aware of how anxiety shows up in the body and learn ways to regulate and ground themselves in the present moment.
While practical tools are an important part of treatment, I also believe it’s essential to understand where anxiety comes from. Together, we explore past experiences, relationships, and learned patterns that may have shaped how anxiety developed over time. This combination of insight and skill-building allows clients not only to manage symptoms in the moment, but also to address the deeper roots of their anxiety.
Clients can expect a supportive, collaborative process that balances warmth, structure, and real-world strategies they can apply outside of session to feel more grounded, confident, and in control of their anxiety.

Deborah Ejiofor
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
Treating anxiety in therapy usually involves different methods to help people manage their symptoms. One common approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps people identify and change negative thoughts that cause anxiety. CBT also teaches coping strategies and relaxation techniques. Other therapies, like mindfulness, focus on staying present and managing anxiety through deep breathing and awareness. Therapy provides a safe space to understand the causes of anxiety and learn skills to manage stress and fear for better long-term emotional health.

Craig Springer
Psychologist, PhD
Do you worry about work constantly when you’re at home, or feel anxious and tense even about small events?
Is your mind riddled with a powerless sense of imminent danger, a place where rising panic can be difficult to quell?
Does your apprehension make it difficult to get on with regular life and enjoy each day?
Do you struggle with recurrent thoughts that bring about fear, doubt and anxiety and compel you to engage in safety and sometimes nonsensical behaviors?
Do you often experience the urge to seek reassurance from friends or family members to keep your doubts, worries, and fears at bay?
These signs and symptoms are common in those suffering from anxiety disorders. Anxiety and fear can have even paralyzing effects in many aspects of your life; however, there is hope for a calm and serene horizon.
Anxiety is not your fault or caused by anything you have or haven’t done.
It is important to know that you are not alone and that many other people experience problems with anxiety. The good news? There is help.
Like many other illnesses, effective treatments exist to decrease your suffering and reconnect you with a happier, healthier life.
We have wide-ranging experience supporting people with anxiety disorders including: fears of objects or places, social phobias, separation anxiety, performance anxiety, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. The evidence-based treatments that we use can enable you to effectively manage your symptoms, regain control, and begin to experience greater joy.
So, if you frequently experience…
– Constant feelings of dread
– A pounding heart, the racing heightened by the slightest of frights
– Anticipating the worst, regardless of evidence
– Physical symptoms like headaches, sweating, shakes and jumpiness, trouble concentrating, a frequent need to urinate and stomach uneasiness
Or if you often think…
– “It’s safer to stay at home.”
– “But what if…”
– “I can’t breathe / do this / relax / stop / switch off!”
– “They or I could be in danger!”
…Then I am glad you found me. While I know this condition can come with a stigma that may have stopped you from seeking the care you need, your life can and should get better. The evidence-based therapeutic methods that I use can help to bring you substantial relief. If you’d like me to assist you, please contact me today for an appointment.

Elizabeth is New Jersey's fourth-largest city and one of its most densely populated and ethnically diverse communities, a port city in Union County with a long history of immigrant settlement that today is home to large Dominican, Puerto Rican, Colombian, Ecuadorian, Haitian, and other Latin American and Caribbean communities, alongside significant West African populations. The city has a high poverty rate and limited private therapy infrastructure, and the most pressing mental health needs are often addressed through emergency and community health channels. Multilingual care—in Spanish, Haitian Creole, and other languages—is essential, and bilingual and bicultural therapists who understand the specific experiences of recent immigrants, refugees, and documentation-insecure communities are in consistent demand. Common therapy concerns include immigration trauma, family separation, economic stress, anxiety, depression, and the compounding psychological challenges of navigating life in a dense urban community with limited resources and significant systemic barriers.
