Anxiety or Fears
Dr. Thomas Ballas
Psychologist, PhD; PSYPACT
I am a clinical psychologist with specialized expertise in treating anxiety disorders. My professional background spans hospital settings, private practice, and service as a medical officer in the U.S. Army, where I gained extensive experience addressing a wide range of mental health challenges. I have refined my skills in evidence-based treatments for anxiety, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), through advanced training in leading military treatment facilities and reknowned private practices.
These experiences have provided me with a deep understanding of the complexities of anxiety and a strong commitment to delivering personalized, effective care. My goal is to help you break free from the grip of anxiety, improve your emotional well-being, and create a more balanced and fulfilling life. Together, we’ll develop a therapeutic approach tailored to your unique needs, ensuring you feel supported and empowered every step of the way.

Anxiety or Fears
Rene Gonzalez
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
While many of us experience anxiety, only some of us will develop anxiety intense enough to really interfere with our ability to carry on in our daily lives. For those of us who know what this kind of anxiety feels like, it's about more than just feeling worried or nervous, it's also about sweaty palms, a rapid heart rate, fast and shallow breathing, and even tense muscles. I use CBT and body-based approaches to help you address the content of your anxious thoughts, while also using physical exercises that work to decrease the physiological side of anxiety. Examples of cognitive techniques that can help reduce anxiety include de-catastrophizing, re-framing, and even exposure therapy. Techniques that address the bodily side of anxiety might include diaphragmatic breathing, exercises aimed at building bodily awareness of what happens when we get anxious, and grounding techniques using our 5 senses.

Anxiety or Fears
Dr. Paige Hover
Psychologist, PsyD
Anxiety can really be disruptive, making it hard to sleep, hard to eat, hard to focus, etc. Sometimes the worry can get out of hand and make you avoid things or impact your relationships with others and feel all consuming. Anxiety is tricky too because it can sometimes feel helpful, especially for a perfectionist who did well in school or is recognized for their dedication at work. Together we can better understand what you are anxious about. I can teach you how to deal with anxiety based on a deeper understanding of yourself for more successful long term mental health management.

Hillary Geffner LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Anxiety can feel like an ever-present shadow, casting doubt, fear, and unease over various aspects of your life. It may manifest as constant worry, panic attacks, restlessness, or physical symptoms like a racing heart and shortness of breath. These feelings can interfere with your relationships, work, and overall well-being. If you're struggling with anxiety, know that you're not alone, and there is a path toward relief and empowerment. No two experiences are the same, and I believe that it is important to understand how to treat not just the symptoms but the underlying causes of anxiety. Anxiety can manifest in many different ways. In our work, we will utilize a dual approach, making sure you have the tools needed to lessen symptoms so that you can find relief in your daily life while simultaneously exploring what factors contribute to and exacerbate your anxiety.
