Anxiety or Fears
Sharon Roth
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Polyvagal theory offers a fascinating lens through which to understand anxiety and its physiological underpinnings. According to this theory, our nervous system responds to stress and threat in three distinct ways: fight-or-flight, freeze, and the social engagement system. Anxiety often arises when our nervous system becomes dysregulated, leading to an overactivation of the fight-or-flight response or a shutdown into freeze mode. By exploring polyvagal theory in therapy, clients can gain insight into how their body responds to stress and learn techniques to regulate their nervous system. I also use EMDR therapy as a promising approach for alleviating anxiety, offering a unique avenue for processing distressing experiences and reducing associated symptoms. Through this process, individuals can experience a shift in how they perceive and respond to anxiety-provoking situations, fostering a sense of empowerment and control. Exposure therapy is another powerful tool in the arsenal against anxiety, offering a structured approach to facing fears and breaking free from their grip. Through gradual and systematic exposure to anxiety-provoking stimuli, clients can learn to confront their fears in a safe and controlled environment.

John S. Wilks-Young Jr.
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, MBA, MHA, MHR, LMHC
Everybody experiences anxiety or worry occasionally. Anxiety is a typical human response to demanding circumstances. However, those anxieties and fears remain persistent for those who suffer from anxiety disorders. They continue to experience anxiety, which may possibly worsen with time.
Anxiety disorders can seriously hinder a person's performance in social, academic, and occupational settings. Anxiety may also affect a person's relationships with friends and family. Thankfully, there are efficient anxiety treatments available. I've worked with adults with anxiety for several years, so I know we can discover solutions to ease your discomfort and start redefining what it means to be neurodiverse together.

Anxiety or Fears
Joy Rabon
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LMFT, CCTP, CIMHP
I have never met a human being, or even an animal for that matter, who hasn't experienced some form of anxiety, worry, or fear. These feelings are normal and instinctive, designed to protect us from danger. However, when these protective feelings become unbalanced, they can interfere with how we perceive ourselves and others, and disrupt our communication, relational dynamics, and ability to achieve our goals and dreams.
When this happens, it is helpful to have someone objective, supportive, experienced, and knowledgeable to help restore balance to these thoughts and feelings. As your therapist, I use a variety of integrative therapeutic techniques to equip you with the skills needed to manage anxiety, normalize its presence and significance, and regain control of your life.

Anxiety or Fears
Dr. Mona E Stribling
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Is overthinking or overwhelming worry getting in the way of your school, work, social, or home life? Do you experience any of these sensations: nervousness, restlessness, tension, panic, pounding heart, difficulties breathing, excessive sweating, or trembling? Does fear keep you from connecting with others, making decisions, or going places and doing things you want or need to do? Do you drink too much, use drugs, or do other unhealthy activities to cope with stress/anxiety? Do your thoughts, feelings, and actions seem out of control, and you’re unable to relax? If you answered yes to any of these questions, please know that you are not alone and that anxiety is very treatable.
I have extensive knowledge and experience in successfully treating anxiety disorders, and I’m confident that together we can help you face, cope, recover, and move forward happier, more fulfilled and productive.

Anxiety or Fears
Make Marriage Better
Psychologist, Ph.D.
At Make Marriage Better, we help individuals and couples address anxiety and fear by revealing and working with their root causes. Using the Deconstructing Anxiety™ method, we guide clients to identify their core fears—such as abandonment, loss of meaning or fear of health problems—and recognize the self-protective patterns, or “chief defenses,” they’ve built around them. While these defenses are intended to shield against pain, they often lead to greater conflict and disconnection. By practicing our technique of doing the opposite of these defenses, clients begin to dismantle their fears and experience a deep sense of relief, empathy, and newfound openness in their relationships.
