Anxiety
Dr. Michael M. Grant
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist PhD, MBA
If the experience of depression is "stuck in present pain" then the experience of anxiety is "fear of future pain". The core experience of anxiety is fear and fear is always about something in the future that we think is going to cause us pain as it gets closer and closer to the present moment and begins to become it.
We don't fear things that happened in the past...no need to fear them as they are past events. But, as we look at the future and as it becomes our present, we see what we think will hurt us and no one wants to hurt or feel pain. So, we begin to dread these things and the pain we think they will cause us. We begin to fear the experience of pain we are sure is going to happen.
The symptoms of any of the anxiety disorders include not only emotional fear and dread but also behavior: avoidance of the feared thing, attempts to dodge it, saying/doing things to protect oneself from this anticipated pain, etc.
Symptoms are also physiological: heart racing, sweating, feeling restless, fidgety, continuous chewing on thoughts about the feared thing in a vain attempt to "come at it from all angles" in our minds and so somehow lessen the impact we fear. We can also have gastrointestinal problems (the GI system is very sensitive to anxiety), problems sleeping, relationship problems, shallowness of breath, sexual functioning problems, and a host of other physical complaints.
There are some very specific tactics you can learn that will help you manage your anxiety and take your power back in a way that restores a sense of calm--and I can help you learn those tactics.

Anxiety
Wayne G. Siegel, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, Clinical Psychology
Anxiety isn’t always loud—it can show up as relentless overthinking, perfectionism, or the quiet dread of “what if.” Whether you're managing high-functioning anxiety, panic episodes, or chronic worry that’s begun to interfere with sleep, relationships, or decision-making, I offer a structured, research-backed approach to help you regain clarity and control.
My treatment integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), and the Unified Protocol to address both the symptoms and the underlying patterns that sustain anxiety. We’ll explore how your thoughts, behaviors, and core beliefs interact—and develop practical tools to interrupt the cycle. For clients with obsessive worry or rumination, I also offer targeted interventions, including Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT) and Response Prevention.
Therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your strengths. Whether you're a healthcare professional, entrepreneur, or someone navigating a major life transition, we’ll build a roadmap that supports both immediate relief and long-term resilience.

Anxiety
Melissa Jermann
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Anxiety can feel like a constant state of worry, restlessness, or even panic that makes it hard to fully engage in your daily life. At our practice, we understand how overwhelming anxiety can be and offer evidence-based approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Exposure Therapy to help you manage and reduce its impact. Together, we’ll pin point anxiety triggers, develop tools to navigate it, break reinforcing cycles, and create a path to a more grounded version of yourself.

Dr. Ruth Viehoff
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP
I offer CBT-focused therapy to help you better cope with worry, anxiety, panic, and overwhelm. Often with anxiety, we start to avoid things that cause discomfort or unpleasant emotions. My goal is to help you re-engage with things you have stepped away from due to anxiety and panic. Through therapy, we'll work to understand how patterns of behavior can keep you stuck in anxiety spirals, and find a way forward where you can focus on the things that matter to you.
