Anxiety
Ebony Woney
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Anxiety can feel like your mind never turns off, constant overthinking, racing thoughts, and a sense that something is always about to go wrong. Even when things look fine on the outside, internally you may feel overwhelmed, on edge, or exhausted from trying to keep everything together.
I work with women who are navigating high levels of stress, pressure, and responsibility while silently battling anxiety. Together, we’ll slow things down, identify the patterns keeping you stuck, and develop practical tools to help you feel more grounded, in control, and at ease in your daily life. You don’t have to keep living in survival mode.

Anxiety
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.

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.

Michael Berry
Psychologist, PhD
I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety related to health, illness, medical conditions, and medical procedures. Using evidence-based cognitive behavioral and biopsychosocial approaches, I help patients understand the relationship between anxiety, physical sensations, thoughts, and behaviors—particularly when uncertainty or fear of illness can amplify distress and physical symptoms. My approach is collaborative and practical, helping patients develop effective strategies for managing health-related worry, navigating medical procedures with greater confidence, and engaging more fully in their lives despite uncertainty.

Lauren Bradley
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Anxiety often shows up as overthinking, perfectionism, or a constant sense of unease—and it can make even everyday moments feel difficult. In our work together, we’ll slow things down and explore what your anxiety is trying to communicate, while also building tools to help you feel more regulated and secure. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can gain insight, feel supported, and begin to respond to anxiety in a way that feels empowering rather than limiting.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Clients with anxiety need to become familiar with their anxious parts in order to understand how to walk the line between appropriate accommodation and tackling avoidance strategies when they dominate. Children and families need to understand how to support challenging the constraints that anxiety can impose and how to push themselves to kindly move into the world less bogged down when anxiety dictates the terms.

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Anxiety and fears often reflect deeper emotional conflicts and relational patterns formed early in life. My work integrates psychoanalytic approaches, hypnosis, and somatic awareness to explore how fear lives in both the mind and the body. Through this depth-oriented process, patients develop greater emotional regulation, self-understanding, and a more grounded sense of safety.

Valerie Rosen
Psychologist, Ph.D.
If you suffer from anxiety about a wide range of concerns in your daily life, or find that memories or triggers from past distressing events can cause significant anxiety for you, I can help you manage and reduce these symptoms using a mixture of cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic approaches. We can help you find where the anxiety is coming up in your body and develop techniques to ground yourself and feel more calm; identify underlying beliefs about the world and yourself that make you feel like you're not in control; and make connections with how anxiety was managed in your family of origin. If you have specific phobias or severe OCD, I recommend finding a cognitive-behavioral therapist who can provide structured exposure therapy. If you have mild OCD or have had some treatment in the past and made progress, I can help you maintain that progress and go deeper to understand how OCD thinking may be permeating your self-concept and relationships.

Emily Brenner
Art Therapist, LCAT, ATR-BC
You might feel constantly on edge, stuck in racing thoughts, or overwhelmed by “what ifs” that won’t let up. Even when you try to think your way out of it, the anxiety keeps coming back. 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.

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.
