Anxiety or Fears
Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC
I will address anxiety and fears by integrating psychological techniques with Christian principles to provide a comprehensive and faith-based approach. I will guide you in understanding that it is normal to experience fear but emphasize relying on their faith to navigate through challenges. Prayer, meditation on scripture, and the cultivation of a strong spiritual foundation are often incorporated to promote a sense of peace and trust in God's plan. Cognitive-behavioral strategies may be employed to identify and challenge negative thought patterns contributing to anxiety. Encouragement to surrender worries to God and trust in His guidance is a common theme, aligning with Christian teachings on casting anxieties onto the Lord. Through this integrative approach, you are supported in managing anxiety in a manner that is consistent with their Christian beliefs while fostering mental and emotional well-being.

Craig Springer
Psychologist, PhD
Do you worry about work constantly when you’re at home, or feel anxious and tense even about small events?
Is your mind riddled with a powerless sense of imminent danger, a place where rising panic can be difficult to quell?
Does your apprehension make it difficult to get on with regular life and enjoy each day?
Do you struggle with recurrent thoughts that bring about fear, doubt and anxiety and compel you to engage in safety and sometimes nonsensical behaviors?
Do you often experience the urge to seek reassurance from friends or family members to keep your doubts, worries, and fears at bay?
These signs and symptoms are common in those suffering from anxiety disorders. Anxiety and fear can have even paralyzing effects in many aspects of your life; however, there is hope for a calm and serene horizon.
Anxiety is not your fault or caused by anything you have or haven’t done.
It is important to know that you are not alone and that many other people experience problems with anxiety. The good news? There is help.

– Physical symptoms like headaches, sweating, shakes and jumpiness, trouble concentrating, a frequent need to urinate and stomach uneasiness
Or if you often think…
– “It’s safer to stay at home.”
– “But what if…”
– “I can’t breathe / do this / relax / stop / switch off!”
