Anxiety or Fears
Joshua Redding
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Many complain of feeling nervous or anxious, but few understand how severe anxiety can be debilitating and life-altering. Even if it's just occasional fears or specific phobias, some things can be done to help alleviate these concerns. It's important that anxiety is treated as it's often a symptom of other issues in your life and relationships and therapy can help you understand why it happens and how to improve the outcomes. Consider booking a free 30-minute consult to explore more.

Finding Clarity
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
"It's normal to feel anxious from time to time, especially if your life is stressful. However, excessive, ongoing anxiety and worry that are difficult to control and interfere with day-to-day activities may be a sign of generalized anxiety disorder. It's possible to develop generalized anxiety disorder as a child or an adult. Generalized anxiety disorder has symptoms that are similar to panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder and other types of anxiety, but they're all different conditions.
Living with generalized anxiety disorder can be a long-term challenge. In many cases, it occurs along with other anxiety or mood disorders. In most cases, generalized anxiety disorder improves with psychotherapy or medications. Making lifestyle changes, learning coping skills and using relaxation techniques also can help." - Mayo Clinic

Anxiety or Fears
Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for anxiety, panic attacks, chronic stress, excessive worry, and nervous system overwhelm. Many high-achieving professionals, business owners, caregivers, and driven individuals silently struggle with anxiety while continuing to perform at a high level in work, relationships, and daily responsibilities. Over time, chronic anxiety can lead to emotional exhaustion, difficulty relaxing, sleep problems, irritability, panic symptoms, burnout, and a constant feeling of being “on edge.”
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to anxiety treatment, helping clients understand and address the deeper emotional and neurological patterns contributing to anxiety symptoms. Anxiety often develops from unresolved trauma, chronic stress exposure, attachment wounds, perfectionism, high-pressure environments, or painful life experiences that continue to activate the nervous system long after the original events occurred.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, mindfulness-based approaches, and holistic therapeutic methods to help clients reduce anxiety, process emotional triggers, and restore a greater sense of calm, clarity, and control.
Therapy focuses on identifying the root causes of anxiety rather than only managing symptoms. Clients work to better understand emotional triggers, reduce nervous system hyperactivation, improve coping strategies, and develop healthier emotional and relational patterns that support long-term emotional wellness.
Brad works collaboratively with clients to create an individualized treatment plan tailored to their personal goals, lifestyle demands, and emotional needs. Therapy provides a confidential, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where clients can safely explore the factors contributing to stress, anxiety, panic, or emotional overwhelm while building practical strategies for lasting change.
Many successful individuals become trapped in cycles of overthinking, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or constant productivity that leave little room for rest, emotional connection, or peace of mind. Brad’s approach helps clients move beyond survival mode and regain a healthier balance emotionally, mentally, and relationally.
The goal of therapy is not simply to reduce anxiety symptoms, but to help clients restore emotional stability, improve relationships, strengthen resilience, and create a more grounded, balanced, and fulfilling life.
Virtual counseling and online EMDR therapy sessions are available, providing confidential and convenient access to specialized trauma-focused therapy from the comfort and privacy of home.

David B. Shaw, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
In my treatment for anxiety and fears, I provide a supportive space where I help you identify the root causes of your worries and catastrophic thought patterns. I utilize evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you replace irrational fears with realistic perspectives while teaching you practical relaxation and grounding techniques to manage physical distress. Through safe, gradual exposure to your triggers, I work alongside you to break the cycle of avoidance and help you regain lasting confidence.

Anxiety or Fears
Tricia Mazza
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Anxiety often shows up as constant overthinking, second-guessing yourself, and feeling responsible for keeping everything—and everyone—okay. For many women, this is deeply connected to relationship patterns where you’ve had to anticipate others’ needs, walk on eggshells, or stay hyper-aware of shifting moods. Over time, this can create a sense of internal pressure, emotional exhaustion, and difficulty trusting your own judgment. In our work, we focus on understanding where this anxiety comes from and helping you respond with clarity and grounded self-trust instead of self-doubt.

Anxiety or Fears
John Burkin
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LMHC, LPCC, LCPC, CPL, Registered Member MBACP
Anxiety and Fear covers a spectrum of disorders and I have helped clients who have experienced such concerns ranging from the most severe psychotic paranoia to panic, worry and intrusive thoughts. I do not believe there is a good or bad, right or wrong, better or worse label in these comparisons rather each person has their own experience of what they are going through and to learn to alleviate those difficulties is what I work to do.
