Some say anxiety is living in the future, while depression is living in the past. Some say a little anxiety is healthy, and without it we would have a difficult time being productive. What about when the anxiety is so intense that it rules your life? From the moment you wake until the moment you go to bed, and then you cannot sleep, because, still, it persists. Call or email me today to see how we can work together to bring down the level of anxiety to one that is manageable for you.

Eric van der Voort
Psychologist, PsyD, CST, CSWT
Anxiety is a normal and adaptive emotion we all experience from time to time. However, persistent generalized worry should not be written off as part of a healthy human experience. Problematic anxiety can affect your work and school performance, prevent you from connecting with loved ones, have you imagining all the awful “what-if” scenarios, and leave you second-guessing yourself. Anxiety can also make you irritable, disrupt your sleep, and even take a physical toll on you over time. Physical symptoms, such as a racing heart, sweaty palms, or tightness in the chest are common. At its worst, some people experience debilitating panic attacks.
If you have been struggling with anxiety, the good news is that it can be treated with evidence-based therapies. Imagine going to that social event, your job, or school, and not being consumed with fear or apprehension. What if you could be comfortable in your own skin? I’d say that’s a “what if” scenario worth thinking about.

Stephen B. Lewis Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Using hypnosis I help train your mind to direct the power of your imagination towards relaxation instead of worry. The connections from your mind to your body that can cause physically exhausting reactions to irrational fears or phobias can instead be used to calm your mood, relax your body, and clear your mind.

Helen Star, MFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT, SEP
Trauma can live in the body unaddressed for a lifetime. It impacts every aspect of the person’s experience, from health concerns to psychological instability to insecurities in achieving life goals. Working through trauma is the single most important piece in establishing a more harmonious life perspective. Adults often can’t identify the source of their anxieties because it is buried in childhood experience. Or, they know the source, but addressing the impact of trauma has been elusive.
Whether you identify a single traumatic experience in your life or you experience the result through a highly strung nervous system, trauma can be addressed through working with the sensations of the body.
I was originally trained in Somatic Psychotherapy and have over 25 years of working with the language of the body. This is done through mindful observation of the body’s experience in the here and now and through expressive art and movement therapy as well as talking through the event itself. The resolution comes from a place of self-love and resiliency is built by building support in one’s life.
