You have anxiety if you have excessive and unrealistic worry that is difficult to control. You may experience restlessness, shakiness, muscle tension and tiredness. You may have heart palpitations -- you're short of breath -- you have dry mouth -- trouble swallowing. You may even have nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. Our goal is to reduce the overall frequency, intensity and duration of the anxiety so that your daily functioning is improved. We’ll attempt to explain and resolve the core conflict that may be a source of your anxiety. With further work, we’ll enhance your ability to effectively cope with the full variety of life’s anxieties. Call me for a free 20 minute assessment.

Stress in life is unavoidable, but there are many effective methods for preventing and reducing anxiety. My approach begins with providing a safe, comfortable environment in which to work. I am certified in EMDR, an effective tool for resolving trauma and anxiety. I also teach mindfulness and sensorimotor awareness techniques that clients are able to use in a number of settings. Often, when calmness replaces worry, we find what has been "lying beneath" and creating the problem all along. Whether you suffer from general anxiety or have panic reactions, these things are possible to overcome. If a situation calls for it, I am willing to refer a client for medication evaluation.

We all live with anxiety and stress, but when it becomes symptomatic, such as with chronic insomnia, gastrointestinal problems, migraines, fears becoming phobias, then we need to reach out and find help. I use a three-prong approach to anxiety and stress: concrete hands-on tools such as mindful breathing practices to help begin relief. We look at your thoughts and beliefs which contribute to creating the perception of a threat, which causes stress, and finally we explore the emotional components that often are unresolved fears, grief, and doubts. I always work collaboratively with you to find the best method for you to resolve the stressors in your life.
Dino Di Donato, MFT, MS, M.Ed Counseling
I utilize a Mindfulness Based approach to stress and anxiety management. My work is influenced by Jon Kabat-Zinn's work in combination with teaching relaxation techniques. What makes this work unique is the base assumption that the best way to deal with our demons and fears is to face them, accept them and learn to work with them. Avoiding, distracting or denying them tends only to make them bigger and more threatening. I teach the use of meditation, including body scans and breath meditation, as part of this work. I include work with Acceptance Commitment Therapy (see Steven Hayes, PhD) as it appears to be highly effective in confronting anxiety and stress.
Krista Regedanz, Ph.D.
Are you stressed out, angry, worried, impatient often? Struggling with anxiety? Challenged with meeting expectations (your own or other people’s)? Stress at work or home having a negative impact on your relationships? Struggling with getting through the day, getting up in the morning, taking care of yourself, others or your home?
I help my clients:
- learn how to manage stress holistically,
- feel empowered and in control of their lives and careers,
- be more focused, creative and calm,
- create meaningful personal and professional relationships.

I use the technique of the Awareness Continuum, developed by Fritz Perls and other Gestalt Therapists,
to assist people to self soothe themselves in the face of intense anxiety and stress. This is a technique that is readily available but requires much skill in practice and execution. I have developed a highly accessible system by which people can adapt to these skills.
Claudia Sinay-Mosias, MFT, MHA
My specialty since 1987 has been the treatment of anxiety disorders. I became interested in this after having suffered from it myself and recovering at a time when little was known about treatment. Of course I use CBT methods, and I find them necessary but not sufficient. Also useful is the existential exploration of what anxiety means in our lives and why so many of us are afflicted with it. I believe in life style changes, behavior adjustments, and a commitment to a more authentic life. Recovering from anxiety mean emerging into a life more fully lived, characterized by better boundaries, less co-dependence and deeper joy.

When anxiety becomes disruptive to your life, it creates problems in your confidence, work, relationships. It shows up as excessive worry or nervousness, panic attacks, tension stress or restlessness, sleep difficulties or phobias. Unhealed traumas that keep you connected to anxious and emotionally difficult situations in your past can be at the source of your current anxiety such as family conflict or stress, feeling betrayed or rejected by another, any kind of abuse, role modeling by a highly anxious parent. You will develop new skills & resources to help you experience increased calmness, self-confidence, feeling in charge of yourself and your life, feeling comfortable in your own skin.

Feeling anxious is never comfortable; stresses of life often bring us to that point. Having a safe and compassionate listener can be the beginning of alleviating some of the pressure that causes these disruptive emotions. Being able to talk about your struggle in a trusting space allows you to put some of the angst outside of yourself and begin to look at your anxiety more objectively - allowing you to make sense of it and temper it. When you hold all of this as your own it continues to grow and expand. I can provide you a safe space. I am direct and empathetic so we will honestly explore your "stuff." Call today. Begin to make your life more manageable. You need not do this alone.

I have extensive experience working with people suffering from anxiety and stress. Symptoms can range from severe panic attacks, obsessive and/or compulsive behavior, to shyness, and sleep disorders. I use a full range of techniques which are suited to the presenting problem. I am very interactive and begin with cognitive behavioral therapy and then if necessary deal with the deeper issues psycho-dynamically.

A small amount of anxiety over a short period of time (or related to a particular event) can bolster performance, keep us focused, and motivate us toward excellence. But when anxiety becomes chronic, debilitating, and locks us away from enjoyment of everyday tasks and ever feeling truly at ease, it is time to learn some new tools and open to what the true basis of our fear is (which is something medication alone cannot do).

Any change – or a need for change is stressful and can cause anxiety.
Some of us live in a constant state of anxiety.
Both are natural. One is struggling to adapt, the other is sensitive to the ongoing uncertainties that we live with day-to-day.
Being in a constant state of stress or anxiety may be due to a traumatic experience or it could simply be how you are made.
In either scenario, learning to recognize and manage your anxiety can add years to life, pleasure to your relationships, and happiness to your daily experience.
This is accomplished through identifying the sources and working with our own particular patterns of response to change, dissatisfaction, and uncertainty.
Kathryn Kinsey, LCSW
Cognitive behavioral therapy is most effective in learning to manage stress and anxiety. This is enhanced by the use of specific stress management techniques such as meditation, progressive relaxation, behavioral desensitization of triggers, development and use of social supports, physical exercise, and medications as needed. We can learn to manage everyday stresses and have a more restful, peaceful lifestyle.

Emily Lyon, PhD
One source of Anxiety is a life-style full of pressure and stress when you may not be sure why you are so driven but you are moving too fast to slow down and find out what you are really feeling. Another, deeper source of Anxiety is an internal conflict in which one aspect of you is pushing in a certain direction and another aspect is either resisting or pulling in another direction. A third source of anxiety is a history of serious life difficulties when you may have been abused, ignored, or mistreated in some way. All of these kinds of anxiety can be helped if we can sit together and understand these anxieties in more depth. and find new and more effective coping mechanisms

You're not crazy, but anxiety can make you feel that way.
Do you or your child worry about things a great deal, even when you know it is not reasonable?
Do you or your child find yourself unable to relax?
Do you or your child become easily angered or frustrated?
Do you or your child have sleeping problems, digestive concerns, and cannot sit still?
If you've answered "yes" to any of these questions, you may want to consult with an anxiety therapist like myself to determine if you're suffering from anxiety, so you can receive the therapy you deserve.

Anxiety and Stress affect all people at some point in life, to some degree. Dr. Goodwin has a special interest and experience working with these issues and uses empirically tested approaches. Although anxiety, panic, stress, and worry can be extremely uncomfortable, the good news is that excellent interventions exist and most clients can see good results. Get on the right track so that you can start living your life to its fullest. Of course, reaching out for help can be very stressful in and of itself. Dr. Goodwin is warm and non-judgmental, take the next step and call or email her to set up a phone consultation.
Beverley Conrad, Ph.D
I believe in the interventions most evidenced based to treat anxiety and stress. These primarily are mindfulness and meditation and stress reduction. Thoughts and cognitions are also examined and change is enhanced by working on one's core beliefs. This is the most efficient way to experience relief. Current brain science is utilized to give relief and actualize change.
Mey Saephan, MS
Did you know that if you had a traumatic birth you can be predisposed to anxiety? If you had early trauma and it is unresolved, current stress can trigger anxiety. When you come to see me for anxiety, I will provide an assessment and then I will decide which Lifespan Integration protocol to use to free you from that anxiety. Then I will provide you with new strategies to cope with anxiety, but usually Lifespan Integration will do that for you. For more info go to Lifespanintegration.com. I do provide a free consultation, when clients ask me.

Learning to ways to release stress and anxiety will liberate people to pursue their real dreams and goals. I use relaxation therapy, EMDR that releases emotions trapped in the body from past experiences very rapidly, and other alternative modalities like TFT or EFT that work with acupuncture points on the body. These alternative approaches are much more rapid and effective in making real changes. We also exam deeply held beliefs and choose which ones you want to keep.
Ruth Schweitzer-Mordecai, LMFT
I can help you learn the ways you are creating or allowing stress in your life. By understanding the causes of your anxiety, you can begin to heal and to experience greater calm in your life. In the model I use, you will learn techniques that you can then take home and use by yourself.
Anxiety and stress can be a painful drain of our energy, especially when they are chronic. In the United States stress is epidemic.

Anxiety is a debilitating disorder that deprives people of their happiness and sense of well-being. I work with children and adults to help alleviate their suffering. Together we explore their anxiety "triggers" e.g. what brings on their anxiety, and work with question those assumptions. Next I help my clients learn how to use tools to combat the thoughts that can paralyze and torment them and bring their negative thoughts back under their control, helping them to feel happy and confident once more.

One-third to one-half of my practice addresses anxiety and stress. My approach is to gain realistic clarity about a client's direct experience, their history, triggers, thinking, expectations and feelings herein. I use desensitization and deconstruction approaches, strongly support presence and witnessing, and offer practical tools to address uncomfortable symptoms. Root causes are revealed and resolved using mind-body approaches like EMDR to build strong internal resources and complete incomplete traumas with cognitive, behavioral, and other therapeutic approaches. Benefits: letting go of the mind’s negativity, not following its fearful thoughts, and inhabiting a relaxed peaceful presence.
Harry Lieberman, MFT
Anxiety is frequent worry or apprehensive expectation that is difficult to control. The specific worries may change, but one worries about something much of the time. Anxiety may interfere with sleep, the ability to concentrate, and can result in muscle tension and fatigue. The antidotes to fear and anxiety involve regaining your perspective on reality, This is where my work and Cognitive Behavioal Therapy can assist you to regain your perspective and reduce your feat and anxiety in context of safety and support

Inherent in life is stress and anxiety. Many of us have not learned appropriate means of dealing with stress. It eventually becomes a negative feedback loop -- one begins to have stress and anxiety in anticipation of having stress and anxiety. My job with you is to help you identify the causes of these patterns and to learn more appropriate and effective means of managing them; in other words, breaking the negative feedback loop. A key component of dismantling the feedback loop is becoming aware of the patterns that trigger your responses. The ultimate goal of our work together is to eliminate the negative and create a positive feedback loop.
Neal Winblad, MFT
In addition to being a licensed Marriage Family Therapist, I am also a ceritified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner as developed by Dr. Peter Levine, and a certified Structural Integration Practitioner as developed by Dr. Ida Rolf. Using these body-based technologies in what we call a "bottom up" approach to anxiety and stress is a lot more effective than the "top down" approach of traditional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That's because anxiety and stress are artifacts of the reptillian brain and limbic system not the neocortex where CBT works.

Nancy Marx, Ph.D.
I see treatment as the ability to effectively manage ones stress and anxiety instead of feeling that the anxiety/stress controls you. In part that involves the willingness to face ones fears, be they rational or irrational fears. The work involves learning to stay in a problem solving mode instead on feeling overwhelmed and subsumed by worry. It involves developing organizational skills, creating a hierarchy of tasks and filtering out the multitude of responsibilities that remain undone. It involves deconstructing an amorphous burden into doable steps. It involves building a sense of confidence.
Jill Kane, Psy.D.
Anxiety and stress are so prevalent in today's society. I can help you gather the tools you need to successfully handle those moments when you feel overwhelmed - even if those moments seem like they are all the time. I utilize psychodynamic and/or a cognitive behavioral approach to treating anxiety and stress. I also treat Obsessive Compulsive Disorder using Exposure and Response Prevention.
Ben Goldstone, LMFT
Many men succeed in their professional lives but find themselves ill-equipped to participate fully in their emotional lives. Unable to access and express their true feelings, they struggle with anger, depression, addiction and anxiety impacting their daily lives. Some isolate, while others, surrounded by people, are dissatisfied with the quality of connection they do have.
Women must perform a balancing act. The demands of being a mother, daughter, wife, partner in our world have increased dramatically. Women are regularly asked to compromise themselves for the sake of their families and careers. The strain of making these difficult daily decisions can take its toll.
Lois Mark, LCSW, BCD
In our troubled world, rarely a few escape the feelings of stress and anxiety. However, learning how to deal with these feelings so that one can remain positive and productive in job and family relationships is important. My counseling approach is a cognitive one to assist people in being more aware of their reactions, their frustration tolerance levels and their ability to negotiate, navigate and successfully direct their energy toward resolution.

Anxiety and stress are two of the most common reasons people seek therapy. Sharing our feelings with family or friends can leave us feeling like a burden to the ones we love. When exercise or a vacation are not enough, therapy can help you learn how to minimize the amount of anxiety and stress in your life. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy has been shown to be an effective tool in the treatment of both everyday anxiety and stress, and the anxiety and stress that result from a traumatic event or crisis. Clients can learn to identify triggers and develop a "toolbox" of ideas to help them manage the often overwhelming feelings that can affect us everyday.
