Anxiety

Jireh Miller (She/Her)

Professional Counselor Associate

LMHCA

Ongoing supervision and continuing education in DBT skills contribute to my work with Anxiety.

Firefly Institute

Licensed Professional Counselor

Anxiety is a common condition in which the person excessively worries about a variety of different topics or a specific topic or experience. This worry is excessive and uncontrollable and associated with additional symptoms of anxiety. Firefly clinicians are available to provide support from a relational and cognitive behavioral approach to reduce stress and worry and engage in life.

Nani Waddoups (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

Part of the Existential philosophy that guides my practice is the acceptance that Anxiety is a part of being human. Awareness that our time is limited, and ultimately we alone are responsible with what we do with our lives, creates a natural anxiety. When this anxiety rises to a distressing level, therapy helps to recalibrate, and transform that energy into fuel for a self-directed life.

Katya Stark (She/They)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MS, NCC, LPC

I use cognitive behavior therapy, rooted in ancient Stoic philosophy, to process one's reaction to events and find creative ways of eradicating negative self-talk. I apply DBT emotion regulation skills, somatic therapy to increase mind and body connection, and Gestalt therapy to learn what unmet need causes anxiety and depression. I assign homework to clients who are interested in working in between sessions.

Joaquin Lopez (he/him)

Licensed Professional Counselor

M.S.

Anxiety is a symptom of uncertainty, experiencing the unknown, and the inability to quiet the 'noise' that permeates our being. I believe in approaching anxiety with mindfulness, stream of consciousness to reveal what lies beneath the surface, and behavior modification.

Keziah Striplin (she/her)

Clinical Social Work Associate

MSW, CSWA

Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety can impact every aspect of your life—whether it’s racing thoughts, constant worry, or the physical tension that just won't go away. You may struggle to focus, sleep, or even enjoy activities that once brought you peace. You deserve to break free from the grip of anxiety and regain control of your life. Together, we can explore what drives your anxiety, and I’ll guide you in developing coping strategies that work for you.

Anxiety manifests itself in a diverse range of ways. Getting to know the way your anxiety expresses itself, and learning how to support this expression, is something I have years of experience working with as a therapist.

Michael Wilson, MA

Licensed Professional Counselor

In working with individuals suffering from anxiety I have found that it is an inability to properly identify and manage the body's emotional experience that leads to the distress. I utilize emotion focused therapy to identify the negative emotional experience and together with the client develop healthier coping strategies to deal with that emotion.

Jenny Kepler (she/her)

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

LMFT

We'll work together to find your strengths and coping skills and then use a combination of mindfulness-based practices and cognitive therapy to reduce anxiety.

Jonathan Joebgen

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW

We all have anxiety to some extent and it's a good thing because it often keeps us safe. The trouble is when our system of assessment is off and we find ourselves responding to threats that may not be there or not to the extent we think they are. With a sense of understanding and kindness we can explore those worries and fears together to find a way of moving forward.

Jennifer Rocks, MA, MS, PsyD (she/her)

Clinical Psychologist

MA, MS, PsyD

Symptoms of anxiety can include, but are not limited to: feelings of worry and overwhelm, feeling you 'can't get out of your head,' fearing the worst outcomes will happen, a vague and pervasive sense of unease, agitation, sleep problems, nausea, frequent urination or diarrhea, sweating. Anxiety can show up as fears, panic attacks, compulsions, and social discomfort.

Gemma Baumer (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A. in Counseling

Anxiety is our body's way of alerting us that something needs our attention--perhaps we are not living in accordance with our deepest selves, we cannot reconcile our life with what we truly want, or that we hold onto the impact of living with hypervigilence and disconnection. We can address the underlying concerns of anxiety in a therapeutic space that feels warm, safe, and exploratory, and seek to resolve what our anxiety can tell us about our experience of being alive.

Natalie Buller

Professional Counselor Associate

MA

Social media influence with anonymous comments and constant exposure to photoshopped images are isolating and affecting teens, college students, and young adults at an alarming rate. Anxiety medication has become the norm but that doesn't have to be the only way. Whether its panic attacks, social anxiety, or a specific phobia we will find strategies to help you navigate through this complex and overwhelming issue.

Debra Schnack (she/her/hers)

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

LMFT

When it comes to treating anxiety disorders, research shows that therapy is usually the most effective option. That’s because therapy for anxiety — as opposed to taking anxiety medication — treats more than just symptoms to the problem. Therapy can help to uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears, learn how to relax, look at situations in a new, less frightening way, and develop better coping mechanisms and problem-solving skills.

Alex MacLeod (he/him)

Professional Counselor Associate

MS, NCC, CRC

I've received training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Somatic Experiencing, both of which I find to be helpful approaches in supporting people with anxious, flighty, fast-paced, and frozen nervous systems. If you feel on-edge more than you'd like to, stuck in well-worn ruts of anxious thinking, or if there's something in particular that is so hard to look at that it's been preferable to avoid it entirely, I am equipped to stand next to you and support you to find your footing.

Daniel Maher, LCSW (He / Him)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW

Anxiety can be a primary condition or a symptom — or both. I can help you better understand the nature of your anxiety — it's origins and triggers — and learn skills to decrease it. Using a combination of cognitive and behavioral skills (including mindfulness) to soothe, you can access deeper emotional processing and experience that anxiety blocks us from feeling.

Cathy Walker, LPC (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

Anxiety is a normal part of life - until it becomes so overwhelming that it shuts us down. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical therapy and mindfulness techniques which have been shown to effectively lessen or eliminate extreme anxiety symptoms.

Amy Galaviz (she/her)

Anxiety can feel like it sneaks up on you. All of a sudden you're having racing thoughts that you can't quiet, feeling restless, difficulty sleeping and feeling jittery. I've worked with clients struggling with anxiety for over a decade and know many skills to help you manage anxiety and give you day-to-day relief. However, I also go further, helping you to uncover the underlying causes of your anxiety and heal from the issues from your past that may be coming to the surface.

Michaele Dunlap PsyD (she/her)

Anxiety can overwhelm people emotionally and physically. Response to life situations with less and increasingly less anxiety is an individual learning process. I help people develop strategies to approach and support that process.

Inness Pryor (she/her)

Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)

I'll help you identify unconscious patterns in your thinking and behavior that may not be serving you; and we will practice skills to tolerate difficult experiences and regulate your nervous system.

We will work on accepting uncertainty, and showing up as our authentic selves in order to connect with others and ourselves.

Megan McDavid

Anxiety can leave us feeling overwhelmed and unable to sleep, focus, and be present for our lives. I provide evidence-based, action-oriented treatment for anxiety disorders.

Simon Yugler (he/him)

Professional Counselor Associate

MA, LPC-A, LPF

Each unique person requires their own unique therapy. I won’t try to slot you into a theory or category, or try and “fix” you. Instead, I work through building our relationship, listening for the deeper meaning in what you have to say, and learning about who you really are. Using both depth psychology and Internal Family System, I work to heal the root of your problems, not just the surface issue.

Laura Marie Separa MA LPC MFT

Licensed Professional Counselor

Anxiety often results from feeling overwhelmed and unprepared. While some anxiety is our bodys natural way of warning us of a possible threat, it can often feel like our lives are spinning out of control. Through mindfulness practices and centering techniques, we can begin to feel more empowered and less controlled by our emotional responses.

BriAnne Schults (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LSWAIC

For anxiety, I use evidence-based techniques like cognitive restructuring and exposure therapy. Mindfulness practices help clients stay present and manage overwhelming feelings. I teach relaxation methods and coping skills to reduce anxiety in the moment. Through collaboration, clients build confidence in their ability to navigate anxious situations.

Saren Craig (They/Them)

Licensed Professional Counselor

M.A. Counseling and Guidance

Everyone experiences anxiety, but at times it can feel overwhelming. I provide a supportive space and offer practical coping strategies like breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, and other personalized approaches to help manage anxiety in the moment.

Sprout Therapy PDX

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, LMFT, LCSW, Associates

Anxiety is one of our greatest afflictions as a society. We frequently work with clients with anxiety disorders of all kinds, including panic, OCD, and PTSD. We use many approaches to treat anxiety, but pull from cognitive behavioral therapy approaches, mindfulness, and exposure and response prevention (ERP) to help you learn skills to manage these intensely uncomfortable experiences.

Peter Gold (he/him)

Professional Counselor

PhD, LPC, LMHC

Anxiety can be a form of blocked creativity. It can also stem from worry and fear. My approach to working with anxiety comes from a mind/body orientation--acknowledging that the body influences the mind's state of being as well as the emotions. I incorporate the moving meditation of qigong into talk-therapy sessions with specific exercises for anxiety.

Ladan Radafshar (She/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC, NCC

Feelings of anxiety such as a pervasive sense of unease, worry, or racing thoughts can be our bodies' SOS signal. It’s an invitation to explore what needs our attention. I will work with you holistically to identify the causes of your anxiety and the emotions you're experiencing as a result. I'll support you in regulating and managing your emotions with mindfulness and CBT techniques to help you feel more grounded.

Cory Anton

Licensed Professional Counselor

Anxiety is one of the most commonly experienced human emotions. However, if you are feeling worried more often than not, if reassurance and checking is no longer helping reduce anxiety, or you find yourself avoiding things that might cause anxiety, you may be experiencing symptoms of an anxiety disorder. Therapy can help you regain control of your life and put your anxiety back in it's place.

Terri Mishler, PsyD

Clinical Psychologist

Anxiety can be experienced as fear, tension or irritability. Therapy can help you strategize how to conquer those fears, and approach life with a greater sense of calm and ease.

Michael Running (he/him)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, MS, NCC

Relying upon the trifecta of Emotion-Focused, relationally-oriented, and body-centered methods, the approach I bring to the therapeutic relationship supports you in expanding your understanding of, and shifting your relationship with, emotional states (like anxiety and depression) that cause you distress.

Matia Kelly, MA, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

Guidance around anxiety is often oriented towards talking a person out of how they are feeling, which can work on the surface, but can leave the person alone with those same anxious thoughts. I take a different approach. By exploring and identifying the needs and concerns that anxiety is trying to address, we can find more adaptive ways to meet those needs an/or identify where anxiety has become a habitual pattern or reflexive response that is no longer useful to you.

Teresa Zahariades, LCSW (she/her)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I have over 20 years experience and expertise guiding others to live differently and more skillfully with anxiety and panic. I understand anxiety from first-hand experience and can attest to evidence-based practices that work, including body-mind integration, nervous system repatterning, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

Kendra Smith (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC, NCC

Anxiety can be viewed from an evolutionary lens as response that warns us of danger. In present day, sometimes anxiety is giving us accurate cues, and other times it is overstating the level of concern. Learning to assess the appropriate level of concern can be complex. I use an approach that highlights the awareness we experience when we have contact with our environment. Through curiosity, we can work together to establish a way of interacting with the world that feels more manageable.

Ryan Kopyar

Professional Counselor Associate

Professional Counselor Associate and LMHCA

"We have to FEEL it to HEAL it." I truly believe that one of the hardest things to do in life is really sit with our feelings. That's why addiction, which can take many forms besides just drugs and alcohol, can take such a strong grip over our lives. Sitting with our emotions and feelings and truly acknowledging them, can be scary, overwhelming, and can almost feel like it's magnifying the feelings more then helping us to release them

Elyse Conterno (she/her)

Clinical Psychologist

PsyD (licensed in Oregon and Washington)

My specialty is treating anxiety disorders including social anxiety disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, specific phobias, and panic disorder. Treatment includes concepts and approaches of CBT and ACT.

Kir Rian (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, MFA, Licensed Professional Counselor/OR, Licensed Mental Health Counselor/WA

Anxiety can look like so many things--a steady, constant worry all the way to full-blown panic attacks. It can be restlessness or a tense jaw or neck muscles, poor self care choices, and sleep challenges as your body holds all that stress trying to protect you. Learning tools for anxiety and worry management can help minimize how these symptoms interfere with your life. Often, there are underlying root issues that can be processed through counseling, as well.

I work with those anxious parts of you that sneak in and tend to take over, keeping you from being present right where you are. Depression often comes along for the ride since connection is interrupted when anxious parts are big. We sit ever so patiently and let these parts inform us so that they can feel safe, seen and soothed.

Jed Rendleman (he/him)

Marriage and Family Therapist Associate

MFT

I have extensive experience working with anxiety both as a client and a therapist. In my experience, anxiety is almost always a symptom of another issue, one that perhaps remains beneath consciousness. I am trained in mindfulness and somatic techniques that can enable us to reduce the frequency and intensity of anxiety while we work to excavate its roots.

Megan Bucknum (She/Her)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW CADC I

Experiencing anxiety is a normal part of life. Sometimes we feel anxiety so intensely, in our attempts to cope and survive, we may find ourselves moving away from the life we want. Enjoyable activities may no longer feel possible and our circle of workability may start to shrink. My training treating anxiety utilizes approaches to assist others in connecting to their values, unhooking from painful thoughts/feelings, growing self-compassion, and helping you reconnect to what is important to you.

Jenny Larson (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC (OR), LMHC (WA)

Our brains work hard to keep us safe and feeling like we belong, but sometimes those strategies cause more harm than good and keep us from living the life we want. Anxiety can feel exhausting as we constantly try to get rid of or ignore thoughts and feelings that aren’t helping, but find that we can’t get rid of them. Therapy can provide a safe space to explore those thoughts and feelings that we can’t avoid, so that we can truly let go of them and move forward in the life we want to be living.

Anxiety stems from many places, most often occurring when we feel and perceive that we are out of control of all certain aspects of our lives.

Liam Woods (he/him)

Marriage and Family Therapist Associate

Masters In Counseling

Anxiety is the embodiment of fear—a signal from our body that we are experiencing a lack of safety. Working with anxiety in the body provides a deeper, more nuanced understanding of what needs to be addressed, whether it’s nervous system healing, trauma, relationship conflict, or the impact of excessive technology. For me, anxiety has been a generational inheritance and a lifelong practice of discerning where to make changes in my life and where to work through fear in order to recognize safety.

Jordan Hubchik (she/her/hers)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, LCAT, ATR-BC

Anxiety is a normal, developmental stress response that can sometimes go into overdrive, causing us to feel excessive worry and dread about our present and future experiences.

These exercises facilitate awareness, and increase your ability to stay with these challenging feelings.

Anxiety is a natural part of existence for humans, in fact, you need it! However, there are existential concepts such as perfection, permanence, and fairness, that can create unresolvable anxiety.

I use mindfulness based CBT to address the behaviors a systems perspective to address the cognitions.

Anxiety can feel overwhelming, like you're losing control, with racing thoughts and physical symptoms that make it hard to feel grounded.

Let’s look at patterns and triggers together and collaborate on coping skills to manage how anxiety plays a role in your every day life.

We all experience anxiety to some degree. Anxiety is a natural reaction to feeling unsafe or uncertain, and it often escalates when we aren't trusting ourselves in those fears. Sometimes we get trapped in a cycle of anxiety, and it feels impossible to break free. In therapy we work to make sense of the roots of your anxiety, as you learn to tolerate, manage, and alleviate some of that discomfort through finding a real sense of self-trust, wholeness, and clarity within your true self.

Having suffered for a long time with anxiety/panic attacks, I know very well how debilitating it can be; whether it shows up as a panic attack or just a general ongoing feeling of anxiety. Using trance and guided meditation, we can restructure and actually remove these very old thought patterns which have been lodged into place for so long.

Robin Carlisle (She/her)

Anxiety is a form of habituated negative looping.

I am not sure there are many people nowadays who do not feel some measure of anxiety. In fact, I would like to think that this might be the appropriate response to the world we live in.

Anxiety is a primary driving force of our nervous systems. It's a necessary survival mechanism, but one that all too often feels like it's overflowing past its usefulness.

If you suffer from general anxiety, social anxiety, or other anxiety, I can help through the use of mindfulness practices and assisting you in uncovering the root causes of the stress.

The work I do is focused on calming the nervous system.

Anxiety is often a reaction to unresolved trauma, and it is our body and mind's way of trying to keep us safe. Somatic therapy helps uproot the traumas held in our bodies and thoughts and reduces the grip of anxiety on our behaviors and decisions.

Angela Keeney, LCSW (She/Her)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW

Anxiety can be a normal reaction to change, an anticipated event or other life stressors. When anxiety escalates, however, it can become disruptive & unsettling, affecting our sleep, physical health, relationships and overall well-being. I use mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help clients reduce anxiety and increase balance, while also exploring/resolving the underlying causes

James Whalen (He/Him)

Licensed Professional Counselor

Anxiety has many forms, and almost all of them are uncomfortable, painful experiences. I tend to use my calming presence to help anxious clients feel safe in the therapy environment. Once we've established a sense of safety, we can move on to learning about the roots of your anxiety and how to change your relationship with those roots so that you can learn to respond to your symptoms more effectively.

Sophie Bloch Miller (she/her)

Leslie Jones

Licensed Professional Counselor

I have many years of experience working with the distress of anxiety and worry. It can feel tiresome and paralyzing to be gripped with worry, even when your logical brain wants to tell you "let it go." There is a ton of advice out there on how to reduce anxiety. Much of it is good! But sometimes you need to find a supportive space to express the worry, and look at ways to alleviate its hold. There are many techniques that can be helpful, and we can being exploring those together.

Malia Graves

Anxiety is a natural, biological response to stress, and it's our body's way of protecting us. But when we become overwhelmed by anxious thoughts it can disrupt our relationships and career. If you're experiencing panic attacks, stress, OCD, PTSD, or phobias, don't let it control you enjoying your life. I use a mix of evidence-based treatments including CBT, mindfulness techniques, and exposure.

Anxiety is our brain's way of trying to 'do something' to change a hard situation, but it often results in us simply treading water (or barely even staying afloat), and it can be debilitating. Together we will brave the waters and calm that impulse to help you actually be able to find your center and go with the flow.

Ronald L Johnson

Rachel Kendall (she/ her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MS, C7689

As someone who has struggled with anxiety, I have tried several methods to keep it at bay. Throughout the years in my healing journey, I discovered how much my nervous system was involved in my experience. I learned the brain responds to a threat the same way whether is either real or imagined. By practicing mindfulness with intentionality, we can stay present when anxious thoughts arise.

Joyce Yuan

Clinical Psychologist

Anxiety is the unpleasant experience of excessive worry, fear, and stress that can interfere with daily activities and your ability to rest/relax.

Trauma can cause a variety of symptoms and experiences that can be a distraction in your quality of life. In a therapy session, we focus on symptoms and remedies. I will not ask you to recall every detail, instead the focus is on understanding the experiences of symptoms in your daily life. For example, what it looks like, feels like, and how it causes you to respond. Together we will discover the techniques and tools that can help you specifically and reduce the intensity of your daily life.

Steve Hohenboken, LPC, LAT (he/they)

Licensed Professional Counselor

Worrying has been described as using your creativity to imagine a future you do not want. Let's redirect that valuable creative energy and use it to help you feel calmer, safer, and more fulfilled. We'll also identify your other strengths and gifts and see how they can help you find peace and move through life's challenges.

Sean Robertson (He/him)

Clinical Psychologist Resident

PsyD

There is an infinite amount of rational life experiences to be wary and careful of. To many people, that reality I just mentioned is overwhelming. It can cause a person to become increasingly preoccupied with preparing for a future that may be threatening in some way or form. And the justifiable, understandable response to that is anxiety. The trick, I believe, is understanding your need to protect yourself and those you care about while balancing ways to relieve your need to protect.

Jason Wilkinson (He/Him)

Marriage and Family Therapist Associate

MA, MDiv

Anxiety is a way that we cope with a specific emotion. We will work to uncover the emotion that initiates the coping behavior of anxiety, which then assists in lessening the reactive behavior.

Do you feel like you're white-knuckling it through your days with so many things to worry about or brace for, all the while feeling irritable, edgy and nervous? Anxiety can disrupt sleep, keep you "in your head" and make it harder to connect with others. It can look a lot of different ways. Learning to recognize the parts of you that are anxious and what those parts need can help you manage anxiety and calm your nervous system.

Tiffany Del Pozo (She/her)

Professional Counselor Associate

QMHP

I bring a lot of myself into my work with clients who experience anxiety, and take various treatment approaches, ranging from ACT to exposure therapy.

Karel Chan

Licensed Professional Counselor

LMHC, LPC

Anxiety is the mind's way of trying to achieve peace and safety using thoughts and intellect to exert control, find solutions, and fix what's "wrong." The problem with this is that very few things require solutions, or are actually "wrong" or truly within our control. Peace and safety, though, are innate human needs, so the journey is learning to step away from thinking and into a space of courageously being with feelings of fear and unrest, building an inner strength and wisdom that we trust.

Arah Erickson (she/her/hers)

Professional Counselor Associate

MS, NCC, LPC-A

Anxiety can show up differently throughout our lives. Life transitions, age, stress, specific events can all impact it's intensity. Sometimes we don't immediately recognize the part our anxiety is playing in our life challenges. I believe that it is important to understand the shape and nature of your anxiety, and to learn specific techniques that support you in moving through it when it gets in your way, as well as to build compassion for yourself and your experience of anxiety.

Anxiety is misery. Whether it's pervasive or situation-specific, anxiety sucks the spark from life.

Because life doesn't have to feel this way.

Aaron Kelsay (he / him)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, CADC I

"Anxiety" was something I experienced as "normal" until I started to put it into words. It was through my own healing journey that I realized there are other ways to be, think, and feel -- imagine if you could "let your guard down," enjoy every moment, and embrace what's coming. Through a combination of cognitive, somatic, and story-based interventions, you can move towards a more balanced, less anxious, more enjoyable way of being in the world.

Otoniel "Toni" Calderon (He/They)

As someone who has experienced generalized anxiety throughout my life, I know how impactful this can be. I believe that anxiety is future-based fear and can be worked through by addressing the core fears that underlie it.

Sarah Sterling

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC, LMHC

Many of us come to counseling with some sort of an issue like anxiety, depression, or low self esteem. I believe that these 'issues' are actually pathways inward to wholeness and freedom. Anxiety is life force energy that is stuck, obstructed or unchanneled. The more we clear fear, resistance and doubt from our systems, the more usefully our life force energy will flow.

Pearl Waldorf

Licensed Professional Counselor

An activated Nervous System can make satisfying engagement with others nearly impossible. My anxiety clients may feel confused about why you struggle as you do. When asked about your history, it's likely you'll say you had good parents. Parents who provided you with everything you needed. I dig deeper with my clients to understand, what may have been missing and to begin filling in the gaps.

Anxiety is a general term for the several manifestations of experience that tend to produce nervousness, fear, apprehension, and worrying.

Peace is around the corner.

Erin Davis (They/Them)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Since starting in social work in 2013 I have worked with countless people with mild to severe anxiety. Anxiety often stems from deeply held, negative, subconscious beliefs we have about ourselves and from traumatic or challenging experiences in our past. From excessive worry, restlessness, trouble with leaving the house and being social, to difficulty stopping fearful and negative thinking; I have had the privilege to witness and support people on their journey towards peace and healing.

Christina Sheehan (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MS, LPC

In everyday life anxiety can be a helpful feeling. It can encourage you to finish the work or school assignment, push you to get the oil changed in your car, or help you notice when something important has been forgotten. When anxiety is happening more often then not, is not attached to a specific thing or floats from one thing to another and is causing you distress, it might be time to get some help. Constant anxiety is not a fun way to live and change is possible.

Alicia Pasik (She/They)

Amy Welsh (she/her)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW

My clients want to stop thinking about all their decisions, behaviors, and words so much. They want to stop comparing themselves to others and spending the day overanalyzing every action. Instead of looking for constant reassurance and ruminating about your decisions or past events, you are able to relax and be present with yourself and others. Clients who are most successful achieving this are the ones ready to work and willing to show up over and over again to face fears.

Camillia de la Garza Thompson (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC, CMA

Eric Abelow Blakeley (he/him)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW

Anxiety is nearly ubiquitous in navigating the complexities of everyday life. A small degree of anxiety can be motivating while too much anxiety is incapacitating. Anxiety also takes up a great deal of energy. The goal of treatment over time is to become more flexible inside and to find new ways of relating to the emotional meanings that constitute the basis of the anxiety.

Rebecca Garetz (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

Lorraine Storm

Licensed Professional Counselor

Anxiety is very common - we all experience it to some degree, but when it keeps you from doing the things that you love and are important to you, a change is needed. It can be a result of over-analyzing or over-thinking situations to the point that it no longer serves you. I will help you “get out of your head” and embrace your inner strength to enjoy the things that are important to you.

Lynne Coon

Everything is frequency. Ideally, our minds and bodies are a harmonious place for us to reside in. However, for many of us, stress has become an energetic habitual pattern.

Anxiety, panic, and phobias can be suffocating. You may feel tense, preoccupied with worry, or experience an elevated heart rate, upset stomach, chronic pain, or headaches.

I use evidence-based practices to help you break free from the control of anxiety.

Anxiety disorders are fairly common but can at times be very uncomfortable and sometimes debilitating. I most often treat individuals with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder. I find that by teaching clients about Cognitive Distortions, behavioral coping strategies, mindfulness techniques, and stress reduction techniques, anxiety symptoms can be managed.

Beth Bogdon (she/her)

Sometimes worries about life events, social situations, or general worry impact how a person lives their day to day life and I will work with you to move towards personal values with self-compassion.

Courtney Burns

Anxiety serves a purpose! Its there to protect us. But many times we perceive a threat when it’s not as big as our brain leads us to believe. Finding ways to talk to yourself in times of panic or worry can be a pathway to relief. We will dig into lots of techniques to help you feel in control and equipped.

Jenna Washburn (she / her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA: Mental Health Counseling - Specialization in Addictions

I have worked with clients of all ages on issues of anxiety. Especially after the past year, it's safe to assume that everyone is experiencing some level of it. And yet, anxiety can show up in a myriad of ways: panic, fear, insomnia, low self esteem, chronic perfectionism, or that constant sinking feeling that everything is on the verge of falling apart. I offer a unique counseling method that seeks to address the symptoms of anxiety as well as discovering the root causes.

Leigh Varley (she/her)

Professional Counselor Associate

I help clients understand and address the underlying patterns that fuel their fears and worries. Together, we explore the root causes of their anxiety, working to identify triggers and shift unhelpful thought patterns. I guide clients in becoming more aware of their body’s stress responses and support them in finding ways to calm and center themselves. By fostering a sense of internal safety and self-compassion, I empower clients to manage anxiety with greater confidence and resilience.

Anxiety is the normal healthy fear that we have about everyday things we find in life. Anxiety could also be that paralyzing persistent fear that cripples us and holds us back from achieving our life goals. Therapy helps the client work through some of their thoughts and will help a person be more aware of them self as well as how life affects them.

Sonia Holdaway (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MS

In a society that prizes individual strength, it can be hard to open up with others. Your therapist should be someone with whom you feel comfortable sharing your toughest anxieties, and who genuinely cares about your experience. My goal is to help you feel accepted & supported when talking about your struggles, and to help guide you through to the other side - to feeling capable and in control of your own experience.

Finally, Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps clients understand and harmonize their inner parts, promoting healing and emotional resilience.

Fear is a powerful tool of survival, but we don't need it as often as our mind seems to think! By understanding the source of our fears, we can learn to conquer them.

You can move forward with curiosity and confidence.

People with anxiety may feel nervous or “on edge,” worry a lot, and avoid doing things that make their anxiety worse. They may have physical symptoms, such as a racing heart, upset stomach, and sweating or shaking. Many of these also often cause difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or both. I help people learn coping skills and other lifestyle habits that help them feel less anxious.
