Anxiety or Fears
Kristina Peck
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Anxiety has a sneaky way of hijacking your thoughts, draining your energy, and convincing you that everything is a bit more catastrophic than it probably is. Whether it shows up as constant worry, racing thoughts, sleepless nights, or that uncomfortable tightness in your chest, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to stay stuck.
With nearly 20 years of experience as a licensed psychologist, I help clients understand and work with their anxiety—not just try to outrun it. Using mindfulness-based approaches, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and compassion-focused tools (with a dash of humor), we’ll explore what your anxiety is trying to tell you—and how to respond in a way that feels empowering instead of paralyzing.
You’ll learn how to ground yourself, create space from your thoughts, and reconnect with what matters most—even when anxiety tries to take the wheel. Fear might still visit (because hey, it’s human), but it doesn’t have to drive your life.
Let’s turn down the volume on anxiety and help you breathe a little easier.

Susanne R Mealer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Anxiety, fears and phobias can truly shrink you world and how you show up in it. These issues can be related to/caused by just about anything, sometimes it makes sense to people and sometimes not at all. Whatever the cause, you don't have to continue tolerating it.

Claire Robinson-Scalzi
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LCMHCA, NCC
Feeling constantly stuck in the future with all of your fears and worries? Together, we can help you recenter into the present moment and let go of the anxieties that keep you frantic. This will look like trying lots of centering techniques to find what works best for you, exploring and feeling through your fears, and looking at past events that have reinforced those worries and/or negative beliefs about yourself that keep you on edge.

Dr. Mike Lee
Psychologist
I support individuals in understanding anxious states and fear, easing distress, and cultivating a steadier way of living. The work is depth-informed and collaborative: we take time to study what is happening on the surface and underneath, then turn that clarity into workable steps. The aim is durable change—less reactivity, more steadiness and choice, and a life that can hold uncertainty without being overwhelmed.

Lynette Cisneros
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHC, LMHC
I work with clients struggling with Generalized Anxiety and Social Anxiety. We work to identify triggers, increase the ability to challenge the anxiety spiral distortions that may consume your thinking patterns and build coping skills that you will actually engage in. A significant part of addressing anxiety is increased self awareness. We will work to interrupt your behaviors or communication patterns that may be intensifying your negative symptoms.

Anxiety causes us oftentimes to avoid and isolate. Through cognitive behavior therapy, exposure work, and dialectical behavior therapy, I work with clients on challenging this avoidance in order to help you cope more effectively with the anxiety you struggle with.

Carrie Torn
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Carries often works with clients struggling with perfectionism, anxiety and people pleasing.
Overthinking leaves you stuck in your head and draining your energy. You second-guess your every decision and struggle to be productive with procrastination. Or maybe you have a hard time saying "no" to others, leaving you burned out, or, resentful. Imagine how much you can accomplish you without perfectionism, burnout, and self-doubt holding you back. Carrie helps clients go from burned out to boundaried. From overthinking to taking action. From emotionally spiraling to grounded and resilient.

I have a lot of experience helping people who struggle with anxiety. It's actually one of my main areas of focus, partly because I've dealt with anxiety myself. I know the techniques I'll teach you actually work because I've had to use them in my own life to find relief.

Paulina Mendez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSWA, LCASA
Anxiety often shows up as a constant state of bracing; a sense that you need to stay alert just to get through the day. In our work together, I focus on creating a steady, supportive container where anxiety can soften enough to be understood. We pay attention to how fear has been trying to protect you, while building practical tools that help your nervous system feel less alone with what it’s carrying. Over time, this work supports more steadiness, choice, and ease in daily life.

Anxiety or Fears
Tenikka Denard
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LCMHC
Anxiety can feel scary and debilitating. Often times, people just want those scary feelings to go away, but it is crucial to understand that our brains and bodies utilize feelings of anxiety as part of an internal security system to keep us safe. Sometimes that system gets overloaded or stuck in a state of alarm that we don't know how to turn off. My approach to treating anxiety is it to use holistic approaches and evidence based strategies to help you understand how you got stuck or overloaded so you can learn healthy coping skills to gain more control of that system. Let's connect and discuss how I can help you gain more control of your anxiety.

Charlotte's position as a major banking and financial hub drives strong demand for therapists specializing in workplace stress, perfectionism, and the particular pressures of corporate and executive careers. The city has grown rapidly through domestic migration, and therapists frequently work with the isolation, loneliness, and adjustment difficulties common among newcomers building community in a fast-growing city. Charlotte also has a strong faith community, and many therapists offer faith-integrated approaches alongside evidence-based treatment for clients who value that alignment. Atrium Health and Novant Health serve as the city's major institutional mental health anchors.
