Dr. Hiyaguha Cohen
Counselor/Therapist, Ph.D., LPCA, MA, MFA
I help you to tackle anxiety on two levels. First, to get immediate relief, and next, to stop the anxiety from recurring by understanding what's causing it in the first place. Immediate relief comes from a combination of interventions such as EMDR. hypnotherapy, energy psychology techniques, lifestyle interventions, and grounding techniques. Once the anxiety is under control, we may delve into the issues triggering the anxiety so that you gain control over the fear and it doesn't come back.

Anxiety, Fear, and the Overactive Alarm
Moving from Survival to Safety
Anxiety is rarely just "stress." It is a profound, systemic response—a persistent signal from your nervous system that you are not safe, even when your logical mind says otherwise. In my practice, we don’t just "manage" symptoms; we work to understand the roots of your fear and rewire the internal alarm that keeps you in a state of constant vigilance.
The Anatomy of Fear
Whether your anxiety manifests as a loud, racing heart or a quiet, paralyzing dread, it often stems from deep-seated patterns of protection. We explore:
The "What-If" Loop: Addressing the cognitive exhaustion of chronic worry and the hyper-vigilance that comes from expecting the next crisis.
Somatic Awareness: Understanding how your body stores fear—from the tight chest to the shallow breath—and learning to regulate your nervous system in real-time.
Attachment-Based Anxiety: Exploring how early relationships shape our current fears of abandonment, inadequacy, or "not being enough."
A Specialized Clinical Approach
With over 20 years of experience, I integrate deep-reaching modalities to help you find a grounded sense of peace:
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): We use EMDR to target the "stuck" memories or past traumas that fuel today’s anxiety, allowing your brain to finally process fear into a sense of resolution.
Systems Theory: We look at the external "constructs" in your life—your family, your work, and social inequities—to see how your environment may be triggering or sustaining your anxiety.
IFS-Informed Parts Work: We get curious about the "anxious parts" of you. Instead of fighting them, we learn what they are trying to protect, allowing them to finally step back from the driver's seat.
For the "High-Functioning" Anxious
I have a particular passion for working with perfectionists, therapists, and leaders who appear composed on the outside while white-knuckling through their days. You deserve a space where you don't have to "have it all together"—a space where your fear is met with courage, curiosity, and clinical precision.

Chelsie Ciminelli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Holistic Health Practitioner
I support individuals who are struggling with anxiety, fear, worry, panic, or a persistent sense of feeling unsafe or on edge. My work looks beyond the anxious thoughts themselves to explore the underlying experiences, beliefs, emotional patterns, and nervous-system responses that may be contributing to anxiety. Through a trauma-informed, somatic, and mind-body approach, I help clients develop greater awareness of what their body and emotions are communicating while building a deeper sense of safety, grounding, and self-trust. Together, we work toward helping you feel less controlled by fear and more able to move through life with a greater sense of calm, confidence, and choice.
