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.

Are you willing to face your fears? Facing them involves changing the thoughts or ideas that are maintaining them. In addition, it's important to gradually expose yourself to your fear or source of anxiety. Doing so has been effective in helping us conquer even our most feared situations.

Dr. Paige Hover
Psychologist, PsyD
Anxiety can really be disruptive, making it hard to sleep, hard to eat, hard to focus, etc. Sometimes the worry can get out of hand and make you avoid things or impact your relationships with others and feel all consuming. Anxiety is tricky too because it can sometimes feel helpful, especially for a perfectionist who did well in school or is recognized for their dedication at work. Together we can better understand what you are anxious about. I can teach you how to deal with anxiety based on a deeper understanding of yourself for more successful long term mental health management.
