Anxiety
Amanda Shrekenhamer
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC
The goal of working on your anxiety in therapy is to feel more relaxed in situations where you might usually feel overwhelmed or panicked. We do this by identifying the underlying thoughts, emotions, and stressors contributing to the anxiety, and then develop ways to cope so that you feel relief from your symptoms.
Doing this work can feel scary, as even the discomfort of anxiety can feel more comfortable than the unknown. With that in mind, I strive to create a safe an accepting space, where we work together at whatever pace that you need.

Douglas LaBier, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I treat the whole person, rather than the symptom of anxiety or fear. We explore and help awaken the source of the internal and external concerns that give rise to such symptoms. This enables new healing and growth of the person, beyond diminishment and management of symptoms.

Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Anxiety and fear can be approached from a variety of therapeutic techniques. Depending on severity, we can stay flexible in approaches to your anxiety and fear that you are experiencing. I like to note that many anxieties and fears are rooted in real experiences that are worthy of unearthing and healing. For those who come with anxieties that are based in reality, such as experiencing oppression or aggression from society, we will work together to find a path that allows you to feel like you get to live a life of value and finding ways to decrease your anxiety without necessarily losing access to safety.

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
Fear is a universal human experience. It can either serve us or immobilize us. In my holistic life coaching practice, I have amassed tools, methods, and approaches to harnessing fear for our empowerment. I am always excited to share these resources as so much in our culture and day-to-day lives drives fear and anxiety. It's difficult to get through a day without our flight-or-flight response being triggered. While fear never goes away (and it shouldn't—we need it for informed decision making), we can acknowledge, manage, and utilize fear to our benefit. Excited to share with you. I am NOT offering therapy; our work together will not focus on the failings of the past or finding a mental diagnosis because I believe you are whole, resourceful and creative as you are, right now. Our work will be to find the tools that work for you to get the life you want.

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.

Lauro Guzman
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LCSW
Anxiety is a feeling of unease, such as worry or fear, that can be mild or severe, often caused by negative thinking. I use cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and correct these negative thoughts and beliefs. The idea is that if you change the way you think, you can change the way you feel.

Washington's identity as the center of American political life creates a distinct mental health environment where therapists frequently address political burnout, moral injury, and the psychological toll of careers in government, advocacy, nonprofit work, and public policy. The city has a highly educated and driven professional demographic, and therapists specializing in perfectionism, ambition-related anxiety, and navigating high-stakes careers are consistently in demand. DC's large Black professional community and its diverse immigrant population from Africa, Central America, South Asia, and East Asia make culturally affirming and multilingual care especially important. MedStar Georgetown University Hospital and GW Hospital provide institutional mental health anchors alongside the city's dense and sophisticated independent therapy community.
