Anxiety
Finley Anderson
Therapist, LMFT
Anxiety almost always makes sense once we understand where it came from. Together, we’ll explore the feelings underneath the worry — fears of not being loved, safe, or enough. We’ll look at how early relationships may have taught you that the world requires this level of vigilance, examine the story anxiety has written about you, and explore what fear might be guarding against.

Together, we'll identify patterns that fuel anxiety, develop tools to manage overwhelming thoughts and emotions, and create greater flexibility and calm. My goal is to help you spend less time managing worry and more time engaging in the life that matters to you. If trauma is present, I utilize Somatic Experiencing techniques to help lessen the effects and help process at a deeper leve.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
From the perspective of Somatic Experiencing, anxiety can be a fight/flight response that hasn't fully settled. It can leave you with a feeling that something isn't quite right, and then your mind starts searching for reasons to feel that way. It's a vicious cycle.
We can work together to find ways to help your body 'complete' the unsettled fight/flight response so you can actually feel safer and more settled. Now your mind will be fresh and clear and better able to assess the situation and decide on a effective course of action.

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
Sumer Statler Aeed
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Fear while a fundamental human healthy response, often in our culture and times become instead something that becomes a stopper instead of a warning system in our lives. Learning to manage and use your central nervous system in ways that serve you, to respond instead of react, allow you to reduce and manage fears and allows them to go back to being a warning system instead of driving your life. We select and try on for you from a combination of CBT, somatic work, breathwork and Central Nervous System work and others. This allows you to have a unique system for you to manage fear and return to a balance of how your body's system is meant to be.

Anxiety is such a common issue, yet it takes on so many different manifestations. From avoiding certain places to having debilitating physical reactions, anxiety and fears can wreak havoc on your life. Together, we look at how anxiety is showing up in your life and discuss coping skills and tools for managing anxious thoughts and feelings in the moment. We also go deeper into understanding the protective aspects of fear and anxiety and work with these aspects to help decrease their intensities.

Anxiety
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.

Anxiety
Ryan Shannon
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA, MA, MS
Anxiety can make your world feel smaller. You may overthink conversations, expect the worst, avoid situations that matter to you, or feel physically tense even when there is no immediate danger. Fears of rejection, judgment, conflict, failure, illness, or losing control can begin shaping your choices without you fully realizing it.
My approach is both insight-oriented and practical. Drawing from Adlerian and psychodynamic therapy, we may explore how early experiences, relationships, criticism, rejection, or past periods of instability shaped the beliefs beneath your anxiety. Understanding where a fear comes from can help you recognize when an old protective response is no longer serving you.
I also use CBT to help you identify distorted thoughts, question catastrophic predictions, and develop more balanced ways of interpreting stressful situations. Mindfulness and physiological regulation strategies can help you respond to anxiety in the body, while solution-focused therapy can help us identify concrete steps toward relief.
Because avoidance often strengthens anxiety, I may suggest gradual behavioral missions between sessions. These could involve initiating a conversation, tolerating uncertainty, attending a social event, setting a boundary, or practicing something you have been afraid to do. These challenges are collaborative and adjusted to your level of distress so that you can build confidence without feeling overwhelmed.
When anxiety is connected to trauma or distressing memories, EMDR may also help reduce the emotional intensity attached to those experiences. My goal is not to eliminate every anxious feeling. It is to help you understand your fears, respond to them more effectively, and stop allowing anxiety to make important decisions for you.

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.

Eliot B. Altschul

I believe that anxiety is an evolutionary mechanism that has acted as a danger signal, and that this has gone awry. I like to help ct's discern between actual and perceived danger and challenge those briefs that are inaccurate.

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.
