Cynthia A. Criss
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LPCC, CSAT
Anxiety and addiction often have a complex relationship. They can co-occur, with one exacerbating the other. Here's an overview of how they interrelate and some strategies for addressing both:
The Connection Between Anxiety and Addiction
Self-Medication:
People with anxiety may turn to substances (alcohol, drugs, etc.) or behaviors (e.g., gambling, overeating) to alleviate their symptoms.
This can lead to dependence and, eventually, addiction.
Biological and Psychological Links:
Both anxiety and addiction may involve similar brain pathways, such as those regulating stress and reward.
Trauma, genetics, and environmental stressors can increase the risk of both.
Addiction as a Cause of Anxiety:
Substance use and withdrawal can heighten anxiety symptoms.
Addiction can create stress in relationships, work, and personal life, fueling anxiety.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
Many high functioning adults live with a level of anxiety that no one around them would ever guess. You may appear steady and capable while privately managing a nervous system that feels overworked: racing thoughts, tension you cannot unwind, irritability, or a constant sense that you need to stay “on” to keep life moving. Anxiety often shows up not as panic, but as overthinking, emotional shutdown, or feeling like you are bracing for something you cannot quite name. In therapy, we slow down enough to understand what your anxiety is protecting, what it anticipates, and what it has learned from years of carrying more than your internal resources could comfortably hold. We look at the patterns that once helped you cope, such as staying ahead of everything, taking on too much, or managing others’ needs, and how those same strategies may now be costing you ease, connection, or a sense of yourself. Our work helps you recognize the early signals in your body, understand the emotional logic beneath your reactions, and build a more supportive internal rhythm. This is not about eliminating fear. It is about reducing the burden of managing everything alone and creating a life that does not require constant vigilance to maintain.

Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
"What If" thoughts trigger anxiety and fears. Most "What If" thoughts never come true, yet you probably spend so much time ruminating on them. I teach you how to explore and challenge your "What If" thoughts by looking at the data or evidence to counter those negative stressful thoughts. I also teach you strategies to calm your body so that it can get out of the "fight or flight" state.

MN Couples & Family Therapy
Psychologist, Ph.D., L.P.
I work extensively with anxiety as it is typically co-occurring with issues such as ADHD, relationship challenges, life stress and issues related to infertility. I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy interventions to reduce anxiety, panic and a variety of fear based issues. I am a firm believer in providing tools to effectively manage anxiety and panic, ideally to the point of no longer needing medication if possible.
