Anxiety or Fears
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.

Kris O'Shee
Counselor/Therapist, MA in Counseling Psychology, Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Anxiety can be caused by fears in the outer world over which we may feel we have no control over, like Covid. Or, anxiety and fear can arise from memories of past experiences like childhood trauma, divorce, or the sudden death of a family member. Our bodies store these memories which live in our nervous systems and arise in unexpected ways in the form of irrational thought patterns which in turn can trigger painful emotional responses and destructive behaviors. Mind-Body Medicine, in addition to talk therapy, offers many techniques for quieting the nervous system. Through such practices as meditation, deep breathing, and guided imagery, our minds learn to let go of anxious thoughts. When this happens the nervous system calms down, our bodies relax, and our minds become freer. In my work I focus on letting go of fear and anxiety while, at the the same time, allowing disruptive thoughts and feelings to flow in healthier, more creative forms of expression.

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.

Using evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, I help clients challenge negative thought patterns and gradually confront their fears. In a supportive and empathetic environment, clients learn relaxation techniques and mindfulness practices to reduce anxiety symptoms. My goal is to empower clients to regain control over their lives and build resilience in the face of challenges.

Karen J. Osterle
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSSA, LICSW
Therapy focusing on anxiety helps patients struggling with anxiety to get emotionally organized and establish coping mechanisms for mitigating the symptoms, at least as the first order of business. The next (and equally important) step has us getting to the underlying root causes of the anxiety, so that the treatment can allow for longer-lasting changes in one’s relationships to self and others. This fundamental change paves the way to a more emotionally flexible life. Through weekly therapy sessions (or as often as necessary in the very beginning), patients suffering with anxiety can learn to free up emotional bandwidth and live their everyday lives in a more relaxed state of mind. This effective approach offers you an honest and accurate view of yourself, as well as a means to develop new ways of engaging with yourself and others.

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.

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.
