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.

Daniel Minuchin
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A, LMFT
Anxiety comes in a variety of forms. Specific phobias, general anxiety, social anxiety, panic attacks. Along with more general therapeutic work, It is an area where concrete techniques can be helpful. Whether cognitive or strategic or hypnotic techniques. Some might be as simple as writing down the fears that are running around in your head and then thinking about how likely they are. Just changing them from thoughts to written statements sometimes makes a difference. Other approaches are more specific to the individual.

Kathryn Sedgwick
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
This is a profoundly unsettling time. In my practice I encourage the use of somatic techniques, such as yoga and mindfulness meditation, to replace what are often self-destructive patterns (typically substance use) clients use in response to their anxiety and fear. We also try to get at whatever the root causes of the anxious fear may be and deal with those.
