Anxiety
Hannah Hayden with Sapphire Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Anxiety can feel exhausting, keeping you stuck in cycles of worry, overthinking, avoidance, or self-doubt. Therapy can help you better understand your anxiety, identify patterns that keep it going, and develop practical tools to manage it. Our goal is not to eliminate anxiety completely (because we can't), but to help you feel more confident, grounded, and able to move forward despite it.

Alabaster Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Anxiety has a way of making the world feel smaller, stealing your peace, keeping you up at night, and convincing you that the worst is always just around the corner. At Alabaster Counseling, we specialize in helping girls and women of all ages understand and overcome anxiety and fears, whether they show up as constant worry, panic attacks, social anxiety, phobias, or a persistent sense of dread that is hard to explain. Through evidence-based CBT techniques, we help our clients gently challenge the thoughts that fuel their fears, develop grounding tools for real-life moments, and rebuild a sense of calm, confidence, and safety from the inside out.

A Little Healing LLC
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Anxiety can show up as more than constant worry. It may look like overthinking conversations, second-guessing your decisions, worrying that someone is upset with you, struggling to say no, or feeling responsible for keeping everyone around you happy. I work with women who are tired of living in a constant state of “What if?” and questioning whether they are doing enough, being enough, or disappointing someone. Together, we’ll explore what is underneath your anxiety, identify the patterns that keep it going, and help you build the self-trust and coping skills needed to feel more grounded and confident in yourself. My goal is not simply to help you worry less, but to help you create a life where anxiety no longer gets to make your decisions for you.

Anxiety
Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Anxiety often shows up as persistent tension, overthinking, or a sense of always needing to stay in control. Many of the women I work with are highly capable and used to pushing through these feelings, even when the mental and emotional load becomes exhausting. Rather than focusing only on managing symptoms, therapy offers space to understand what anxiety has been trying to protect and how it developed over time. Together, we work toward creating a greater sense of internal steadiness and more flexible ways of responding to stress and uncertainty.
