I am skilled at addressing the anxiety and fear that is inherent in managing a medical crisis or burnout from your role as a helper. These often include helping with questions like, "What next?" or "Who am I now?" Using various modalities such as CBT, MI, DBT, creative art interventions, and others, together we will help you coming to your own answers to ensure you feel empowered to take next steps.
Anxiety can be crippling when it keeps us from reaching our goals. Dr. Baumgardner specializes in helping individuals of all ages learn strategies to manage and decrease anxiety so that life can be fully enjoyed.
Anxiety can be a debilitating mental and physical experience, and can limit our ability to engage with our relationships and the world around us. Through therapy, I hope to help you not only understand your fears, the trauma they came from, and the reasons you've avoided them thus far - but also help you gain the courage and strength to face them. overcome them, and move forward with confidence and resiliency.
