Anxiety or Fears
Debra Nelson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
We all experience worries and anxiety at some point in our lives. Sometimes our ways of coping with these feelings don't seem like enough. Whether you are dealing with nagging worries, or something more significant such as specific fears (e.g., driving, flying), obsessive-compulsive tendencies (e.g., hording, having trouble with germs, varying your routine), or are having panic attack symptoms, we can work towards reducing the impact these worries are having on your life.

Anxiety or Fears
Michelle Peacock
Psychologist, PhD
Anxiety and fears involve intolerance of uncertainty and thoughts of worst-case-scenario predictions. Avoiding and escaping situations and the physical and emotional feelings only make anxiety worse. CBT is an empirically-validated, effective treatment for anxiety and fears.

Dr. Jennifer McManus
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist, PLLC
Does this sound familiar? You want to feel calm and peaceful, but instead you find yourself feeling: constantly worried, burdened by a sense of impending doom, or even debilitated by anxiety. It has been hard for you to manage this level of fear and anxiety on your own. Each day it becomes more difficult to focus on anything other than those worst-case scenarios that your mind so quickly creates. Life doesn’t have to go on this way. Hi, I’m Dr. Jennifer McManus, and I help ambitious women find relief from fear and anxiety. It is my mission to provide scientifically informed psychotherapy without sacrificing compassion and genuine concern.

Do you worry about work constantly when you’re at home, or feel anxious and tense even about small events?
Is your mind riddled with a powerless sense of imminent danger, a place where rising panic can be difficult to quell?
Does your apprehension make it difficult to get on with regular life and enjoy each day?
Do you struggle with recurrent thoughts that bring about fear, doubt and anxiety and compel you to engage in safety and sometimes nonsensical behaviors?
Do you often experience the urge to seek reassurance from friends or family members to keep your doubts, worries, and fears at bay?
These signs and symptoms are common in those suffering from anxiety disorders. Anxiety and fear can have even paralyzing effects in many aspects of your life; however, there is hope for a calm and serene horizon.
Anxiety is not your fault or caused by anything you have or haven’t done.
It is important to know that you are not alone and that many other people experience problems with anxiety. The good news? There is help.
Like many other illnesses, effective treatments exist to decrease your suffering and reconnect you with a happier, healthier life.
We have wide-ranging experience supporting people with anxiety disorders including: fears of objects or places, social phobias, separation anxiety, performance anxiety, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. The evidence-based treatments that we use can enable you to effectively manage your symptoms, regain control, and begin to experience greater joy.
So, if you frequently experience…
– Constant feelings of dread
– A pounding heart, the racing heightened by the slightest of frights
– Anticipating the worst, regardless of evidence
– Physical symptoms like headaches, sweating, shakes and jumpiness, trouble concentrating, a frequent need to urinate and stomach uneasiness
Or if you often think…
– “It’s safer to stay at home.”
– “But what if…”
– “I can’t breathe / do this / relax / stop / switch off!”
– “They or I could be in danger!”
…Then I am glad you found me. While I know this condition can come with a stigma that may have stopped you from seeking the care you need, your life can and should get better. The evidence-based therapeutic methods that I use can help to bring you substantial relief. If you’d like me to assist you, please contact me today for an appointment.

South Psychology
Psychologist, PhD
South Psychology, based in Centennial, Colorado, specializes in providing evidence-based mental health therapy for individuals dealing with anxiety or fears. Their skilled clinicians employ a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and exposure and response prevention (ERP). Let’s delve into the details:
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP): ERP is a powerful technique used to treat anxiety disorders, particularly obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It aims to gradually reduce anxiety by exposing individuals to triggering stimuli or thoughts in a safe and controlled environment. Through repeated exposure, people become less physiologically aroused by these triggers, leading to habituation. The response prevention component teaches clients not to give in to compulsive behaviors, ultimately breaking the cycle of anxiety and avoidance.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): South Psychology integrates CBT principles to help clients understand and manage their anxious thoughts. By identifying cognitive distortions and challenging irrational beliefs, individuals learn healthier coping strategies. CBT equips them with practical tools to navigate anxiety-inducing situations, improve emotional regulation, and enhance overall well-being.
Optimizing Functioning: Beyond symptom reduction, South Psychology focuses on optimizing various aspects of life. Whether it’s excelling in school, advancing in a career, or nurturing social connections, their approach aims to empower clients to thrive despite anxiety or fears.
