Anxiety or Fears
Alignment Psychotherapy, PLLC
Psychologist, LP, PhD
There are a multitude of theorectical, biological, psychological, and social lenses through which we can understand anxiety. We tailor anxiety treatment to the needs of the client, as well as to the way in which anxiety is presenting. For example, we might use cognitive behavioral approaches focused on challenging anxious thoughts, decreasing physical symptoms of anxiety, and reducing avoidance behaviors. Alternately, we may work with clients to adopt a more mindful and accepting stance towards anxiety while engaging in committed values-directed action. We also may work to explore how anxiety symptoms reflect responses to challenging developmental or life experiences, or past trauma. No matter the the approach, our goal is not to simply reduce our patients' overall levels of anxiety, but to help them live more meaningful and engaged lives.

Anxiety or Fears
Michael Lockwood of Scene Creative Life Solutions
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW
I understand the sensitivity surrounding anxiety and I'm here to offer my compassion and support. I know from experience it is terrifying to address this but I know we can do it together. As we unravel the complexities of anxiety, we can work on gently peeling back layers to reveal the roots of fear. In our therapeutic space, we can explore personalized strategies to manage anxious thoughts and confront fears, fostering resilience and empowerment. I believe in a collaborative approach that combines empathy with practical tools, creating a tailored roadmap towards a calmer, more authentic you.

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.

Anxiety or Fears
Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
I work with both adults and adolescents on an individual basis. Individual psychotherapy helps clients deal with particular issues, symptoms, and stressors. My goal is to provide a safe, non judgmental space for you to explore who you are, how you relate to others, and what supports you on your journey to become your best self. I lean into, listen, understand, and enhance authentic expression. Together we create a collaborative process of transformation. What that means and what that looks like is different for everyone...
I offer evidence-based therapies from a curious, nonjudgmental philosophy. No matter where you have been, evidence-based therapies focus on changing the now. I strive to help my clients experience the world mindfully, and in accordance with their personal values. Through our work in cultivating an affirming, authentic, and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship, I provide support while we collaboratively deconstruct what is causing distress in your life and preventing you from being your most effective and authentic self. Individual therapy facilitates insight and growth, becoming more effective at actualizing your values, and building more authentic relationships with yourself and with others.
While there are many forms of therapy you can pursue, my expertise is in time-limited, evidence-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT), the Unified Protocol for emotional disorders, and third wave CBT such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness based interventions. (I do have experience in, and practice, an eclectic arrangement of other modalities as well-- when applicable or specifically requested.) We explore thoughts, beliefs, and understanding, while also prioritizing behavioral processes that focus on your contexts and the functions of how you relate to your internal experiences. CBT is designed to help individuals notice and shift their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to get relief from painful emotions such as anxiety and sadness.
Third wave interventions also promote well-being through developing coping skills, personal values, and metacognition that complement traditional CBT interventions. I provide flexible, customizable approaches that look different with each patient. I empower my clients to discover their strength, clarity, creativity, autonomy, resilience, motivation, and confidence in meeting whatever happens next. I provide individualized tools to use in everyday decision-making that will help those changes last. With these modalities I treat individuals who are impacted by depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship distress, burnout, divorce, loss, uncertainty, stigma, and other life experiences, diagnoses, and stressors. We explore the sources, experiences, and beliefs that impact how you relate with the world and implement change in your life. You are the expert on you, but are you your most effective and content self?

Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
Some say anxiety is living in the future, while depression is living in the past. Some say a little anxiety is healthy, and without it we would have a difficult time being productive. What about when the anxiety is so intense that it rules your life? From the moment you wake until the moment you go to bed, and then you cannot sleep, because, still, it persists. Call or email me today to see how we can work together to bring down the level of anxiety to one that is manageable for you.

Christine Clark, PsyD
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Anxiety is one of the most overwhelming emotions we can experience. My goal is to use an integrative approach to supporting those with anxiety to feel more calm when facing their fears and talking through their anxious thoughts. Through talking through our experiences, working collaboratively, and problem-solving ways to respond to what is overwhelming us, it is possible to feel more confident in facing what comes our way.

Rick Brodsky
Psychologist, PsyD, MA
Anxiety and fears often develop into persistent patterns of thought and behaviors. Sometimes it rises to the point of a pattern of panic attacks. This has been a strong focus of my practice for over 20 years. It is an area I teach at NYU. Through the methods and strategies of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy we can use exposure methods and supportive talk therapy to untangle these patterns.

Anxiety or Fears
Jennifer Cain
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Anxiety and fears are extremely common. They are also highly treatable. Worry, tension, phobias, perfectionism, or a general sense that something bad might happen at any moment can feel debilitating. If these problems are getting in the way of fully living your life, I will help you tackle them with actionable steps to get your life back. Behavior therapy and cognitive behavioral strategies are effective for many people. I also help you get to the root of your anxiety or fear when needed. If your child is anxious, there are specific things you can do as parents, to help free your child from their fears and worry. I will work with you to implement an effective plan.

In therapy, we’ll slow things down and make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface. Together, we’ll find ways to help you feel more grounded, more in control, and more like yourself again.

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
Fear is a universal human experience. It can either serve us or immobilize us. In my holistic life coaching practice, I have amassed tools, methods, and approaches to harnessing fear for our empowerment. I am always excited to share these resources as so much in our culture and day-to-day lives drives fear and anxiety. It's difficult to get through a day without our flight-or-flight response being triggered. While fear never goes away (and it shouldn't—we need it for informed decision making), we can acknowledge, manage, and utilize fear to our benefit. Excited to share with you. I am NOT offering therapy; our work together will not focus on the failings of the past or finding a mental diagnosis because I believe you are whole, resourceful and creative as you are, right now. Our work will be to find the tools that work for you to get the life you want.
