Anxiety or Fears
Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I am passionate about working with anyone who has experienced depression or anxiety and who wants to take a deeper look at how these painful thoughts and feelings developed, and how they shape their daily lives. I strive to give my patients a myriad of coping skills and therapeutic tools that will allow them to deftly navigate the world’s everyday stressors, and ask them to look introspectively at their own expectations and biases as together we resist heteronormative patriachal structures.

Anxiety or Fears
Dr. L. Pittman
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have worked throughout my career to help individuals (children, adolescents, and adults) manage aspects of anxiety that are significantly impacting their functioning and well-being. I further help them identify strengths that can help them focus on what they have control over, and gain skills to manage their anxiety. This sometimes involves referral to and/or collaboration with a medication prescriber for comprehensive care and maximization of management of symptoms.

Anxiety or Fears
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.

DR Mindy Jacobs
Psychologist, PhD -licensed psychologist, ABPP-Board Certified in Counseling Psychology
I work with patients to help them bring together their thoughts and emotions. I start with accepting them for who they are and helping people live out their potential. I explore the person's history as well as prenent influences. I also utilize the therapy relationship as a microcosm their life.

Anxiety or Fears
MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Anxiety and fears are areas where hypnotherapy can have a profound impact. Through the power of suggestion and the exploration of the subconscious mind, hypnotherapy helps individuals confront and release the deep-rooted causes of their anxiety and fears. This therapeutic process begins with a state of deep relaxation, allowing clients to access their subconscious mind where negative thoughts and behaviors often originate.

Anxiety or Fears
Dr. Wayne Bullock
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd
Life is filled with challenges! These challenges can leave us feeling anxious or afraid, and depending on how you were taught to handle anxiety, you might feel paralyzed by it, find ways to avoid those things that causes it, or become reactionary to stress. All of these may leave you feeling your life is not as full or rich as you want it to be, or that you are missing out on the life you always wanted to live. I can help you to understand what makes you anxious as well as how to manage those feelings so that you can begin to live a more authentic life.

Anxiety or Fears
Johanna Isaacs
Psychologist, Psy.D., PsyPACT Participant
I help clients with anxiety identify their fear and worry patterns, understand where these thoughts may have come from in their lives, and create new ways of thinking that are more balanced and supportive. Creating anxiety management tools that help reduce physical anxiety symptoms in the moment means that my clients build realistic and useful coping strategies that help them feel better when anxiety peaks. We cannot eliminate anxiety or fear from our life but we can learn to understand our anxiety as a piece of us and ultimately appreciate who we are as a whole person.

Kimberly Turner-Frazier
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, LPC
Anxiety can feel like a constant weight, making even the smallest decisions feel overwhelming. In our work together, I use evidence-based CBT techniques to help you identify the thought patterns fueling your fears. We will focus on developing practical, real-world tools to quiet the 'what-ifs' and help you regain a sense of calm and control in your daily life.

Anxiety or Fears
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.

Anxiety or Fears
Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
Sexual anxiety, performance fears, or the quiet worry that something is “wrong” with your desire or body can create distance in your relationship or within yourself. In a safe, non-judgmental space, we gently unpack where the anxiety comes from—whether it’s rooted in past experiences, shame, or repeating patterns—and help you rebuild confidence, presence, and pleasure. Many clients notice they can finally relax, communicate their needs more openly, and experience intimacy that feels good instead of pressured or scary.

Anxiety or Fears
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.

Anxiety or Fears
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.

Dr. Lindsay Perrin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Anxious thoughts and worries can be overwhelming and can impact our daily functioning at times. I draw upon Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to explore how our thoughts, behaviors, and emotions are all reciprocally related. This allows us to examine what changes we can make that will produce significant reduction in anxiety symptoms.

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.
