Anxiety or Fears
David Schaffer, MSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (WV), Licensed Independent Social Worker (OH)
I particularly like working with people who experience anxiety of all forms. The first area of anxiety I developed a special interest in is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It really strikes me how "crazy" people feel when they struggle with obsessive thoughts and the compulsions that go along with them. When you are able to help people change their reaction to their obsessive thoughts, it is remarkable the improvement they can experience.
I enjoy the whole range of anxiety disorders from the worry of generalized anxiety to the body focus of panic to the avoidance reminders of traumatic experiences from posttraumatic stress. It feels like this is an area where I understand people's experiences and where the ways I tend to work with people seem to make a difference, often very quickly.

Anxiety or Fears
Dr. Michael M. Grant
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist PhD, MBA
If the experience of depression is "stuck in present pain" then the experience of anxiety is "fear of future pain". The core experience of anxiety is fear and fear is always about something in the future that we think is going to cause us pain as it gets closer and closer to the present moment and begins to become it.
We don't fear things that happened in the past...no need to fear them as they are past events. But, as we look at the future and as it becomes our present, we see what we think will hurt us and no one wants to hurt or feel pain. So, we begin to dread these things and the pain we think they will cause us. We begin to fear the experience of pain we are sure is going to happen.
The symptoms of any of the anxiety disorders include not only emotional fear and dread but also behavior: avoidance of the feared thing, attempts to dodge it, saying/doing things to protect oneself from this anticipated pain, etc.
Symptoms are also physiological: heart racing, sweating, feeling restless, fidgety, continuous chewing on thoughts about the feared thing in a vain attempt to "come at it from all angles" in our minds and so somehow lessen the impact we fear. We can also have gastrointestinal problems (the GI system is very sensitive to anxiety), problems sleeping, relationship problems, shallowness of breath, sexual functioning problems, and a host of other physical complaints.
There are some very specific tactics you can learn that will help you manage your anxiety and take your power back in a way that restores a sense of calm--and I can help you learn those tactics.

Anxiety or Fears
Dr. Brian Weir
Psychologist, PsyD
If you are suffering from anxiety, I can help! Anxiety keeps us from living a full life, it can badly effect our performance and pays a toll on our body. Many people become so used to their anxiety that they may think it not a symptom, but rather their personality. For this reason, they may even resist change because it doesn't feel authentic to their personality. Fortunately I have many tools and skills to address your anxiety and help you quite your anxious thoughts so you can hear, feel, and experience who you really are without anxiety calling the shots.

Anxiety or Fears
Dr. Amanda Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
I specialize in helping individuals manage and reduce anxiety through evidence-based therapeutic approaches. Using techniques like CBT, mindfulness, and relaxation strategies, I work with clients to identify and challenge negative thought patterns, reduce physical symptoms of anxiety, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. My goal is to help individuals feel more in control, build resilience, and improve their overall well-being by addressing the underlying causes of anxiety. I tailor my approach to each person's unique experience, helping them regain confidence and find peace in their daily lives. Referrals for medication management, if desired, are made to local prescribing providers.
