Anxiety can hijack your life—keeping you stuck in worst-case scenarios, avoiding situations that matter to you, or constantly bracing for something to go wrong. We take a body-centered and cognitive approach to anxiety treatment, helping you understand what's driving your nervous system into overdrive and giving you concrete tools to regulate it. Whether you're dealing with generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic, or specific phobias, we'll work together to help you stop managing around your anxiety and start living through it.

Anxiety
Shayda Ewalt
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anxiety is often a nervous system that has learned to stay on high alert. When you've experienced trauma, unpredictability, or emotional instability, your body adapts to protect you. Together, we can gently explore the roots of your anxiety while helping your nervous system feel safer in the present. Through trauma-informed and somatic approaches, we work toward reducing fear, calming overwhelm, and restoring a sense of inner ease.

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.

Anxiety
Lenny Gallo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Anxiety is a perceived fear about a future that has not yet happened. It presents itself as worry and panic and can cause physiological changes in the body, such as pounding heart, sweating, racing thoughts, and irritability. Experiencing occasional anxiety is a normal part of life. However, people with anxiety disorders frequently have intense, excessive, and persistent debilitating worry and agitation about everyday situations.
Anxiety disorders often involve repeated episodes of sudden feelings of intense anxiety and fear or terror that reach a peak within minutes (panic attacks). These feelings of anxiety and panic interfere with daily activities, are difficult to control, are out of proportion to the actual danger, and can last a long time. You may notice that you avoid places or situations to prevent these feelings.
Anxiety can actually be a good thing, however. When we learn how to work with it, rather than fighting it, we may find that symptoms begin to go away on their own. My approach to treating anxiety is to utilize a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to examine anxious thoughts, figure out ways to readjust our thinking, and develop better coping skills. Together we can work on how to manage this feeling so that you can take back control of your life.

Anxiety
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.

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.
