Anxiety can be a painful and constant burden. It often holds wisdom that needs our attention. We can work together to build a deeper sense of internal trust, which allows the anxiety to relax.

Melanie Carey
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA
Anxiety can feel like a constant hum in the background — overthinking, tension in the body, difficulty relaxing, or a sense that something is always “not quite right.” For many clients, anxiety is not just mental, but deeply physical and relational, shaped by past experiences, attachment patterns, and nervous system conditioning.
In therapy, we don’t just work to reduce symptoms — we listen to what the anxiety is trying to communicate. Often, anxiety carries important information about unmet needs, protective patterns, or past experiences that have never fully settled in the body.
Using a trauma-informed, psychodynamic approach integrated with Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy, we slow down enough to notice what is happening beneath the surface. This includes learning to track the “felt sense” in the body, where anxiety often shows up before it becomes thoughts or behaviors.
As clients develop this deeper awareness, anxiety often begins to shift — not through force or control, but through understanding, grounding, and nervous system regulation. The goal is not to eliminate anxiety entirely, but to change your relationship to it so that it no longer feels overwhelming or in charge of your life.
This work is especially supportive for highly sensitive individuals, creatives, and those who have tried traditional talk therapy but still feel anxious or stuck.
Together, we create space for more ease, clarity, and internal safety to emerge over time.

Ian Hagemann, MSW
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, SWAA 60977729
I believe that primary fear is about an active threat such as a tiger in the village that needs to be addressed outside of therapy. Anxiety or fears that are appopriately addressed in therapy require a wide variety of interventions so I support clients in a variety of ways to be empowered in their lives that balance courage and safety.

Anxiety
Michelle Borowitz
Psychologist, PhD
When your brain feels like it just won't turn off, it can be hard to make decisions, feel present in the moment, or even fall asleep at night. Therapy with me can help you turn down the volume on the thoughts cluttering your mind, take action without overthinking, and find a sense of calm and peace. I use mindfulness tools to help clients feel present in the here and now, which helps them reduce worries about the future. When it comes to anxiety or fears about specific situations, I work with clients to develop a plan including exposure and acceptance strategies to increase comfort when appropriate and reduce the mental energy fear is taking in your brain. Over time, you will find your perspective shifting and an increased sense of calm rather than a constant storm.

Dr. Janelle Louis
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, ND, PMHNP-BC
Oftentimes, anxiety or fears can be signals from the body and mind that something needs support; it isn't a personal failure. I address anxiety from both a root-cause and emotional perspective, helping you identify triggers (e.g., thyroid dysfunction, childhood trauma, poor blood sugar control, self-image, etc.), balance the nervous system, and build confidence in daily life. Our sessions will blend what we know works (evidence-based care) with compassion, and we'll tailor our approach to your unique needs.
