Anxiety or Fears
Erin Kennedy
Therapist, LPCC
Do you find yourself constantly worrying about the future or anticipating that something will go wrong? Do you tend to ruminate about the past or feel like you're being judged? Anxiety can be a common aspect of modern life (especially with our ever-increasing digital connectedness), but it doesn't need to run yours. In fact, anxiety is often a way we attempt to cope with other difficult emotions like hurt, sadness, powerlessness, and anger. We will work together to identify the emotions driving your anxiety and develop more effective strategies, like mindfulness & radical acceptance, to cope.

Anxiety or Fears
Claire Babbitt, LMFT, JD
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, J.D.
When a patient presents with anxiety and fears, my approach is compassionate and with empathy. No matter what the fear, even if irrational to some, it is important to spend time to support the patient, and try to get possible clarity on any underlying conflict and current situational stress. Empathy and time with the patient is crucial, making sure the patient and therapist discuss patient's issues. Positive goals and solutions may provide relief in the short term, with the long term goal being reduction of fear and anxiety, with understanding of cause and steps toward solution.

Anxiety or Fears
Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Welcome! It is so common for us to expect everyone's anxiety to match our own experience. However, I want to start therapy by learning your language and your personal experience with anxiety. We’ll start with stories of when you notice an absence or smaller amount of anxiety present—environments, relationships, and activities where maybe you feel peaceful, content, and confident. We’ll talk through the patterns of when anxiety arises, what happens during the experience, how others respond, and what consequences follow the anxiety experience. After I’ve really learned your experience, we’ll begin to increase experiences of exception, building on those beautiful exhales and moments of glee. We may use EMDR or somatic therapy approaches to explore deeper roots and truly move through the embodied experience of fear. We can also use EMDR and imagery to practice tools and skills successfully for future experiences that often bring anxiety, so that when the experience occurs the amount of anxiety is lessened.

Anxiety or Fears
Dr. Pamela Collman
Psychologist, PhD in Clinical Psychology
Separation anxiety, which can sometimes arise from an attachment issue, will impede a child’s success in school and hinder his or her creativity and productivity. I consider separation anxiety to be a learning disability and one of the most disabling of the anxiety disorders.

Marge Michaelson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, ACSW, DSW
Anxiety is connected to the Unknown and Fear to the known. Anxiety and fear are part of everyday existence but when it overwhelms, techniques are needed for management. Cognitive approaches, visualization and journaling are some techniques in treatment.
