Anxiety or Fears
Stephanie Marks
Hypnotherapist, MA
Have you struggled with anxiety/depression, unreasonable or mysterious fears or sadness? In stressful situations do you tense your body and find it hard to relax? Do you feel disappointed in the life that you have and feel that it is not the life you desired or expected to have? Fears and Anxieties can take hold of our lives and make us feel stuck and unable to see beyond them. Contrary to popular understanding, anxiety is not a feeling, but rather a defense we use when feelings overwhelm us, resulting in a reaction of anxiety that takes over. Sometimes these are thoughts and feelings are experienced as forbidden to enter our conscious mind and the anxiety reaction dominates instead. In our work together, we will explore these limiting patterns of thinking and feeling and in order to free up more space to live a fuller life without these constraints.

Anxiety or Fears
Hillary Geffner LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Anxiety can feel like an ever-present shadow, casting doubt, fear, and unease over various aspects of your life. It may manifest as constant worry, panic attacks, restlessness, or physical symptoms like a racing heart and shortness of breath. These feelings can interfere with your relationships, work, and overall well-being. If you're struggling with anxiety, know that you're not alone, and there is a path toward relief and empowerment. No two experiences are the same, and I believe that it is important to understand how to treat not just the symptoms but the underlying causes of anxiety. Anxiety can manifest in many different ways. In our work, we will utilize a dual approach, making sure you have the tools needed to lessen symptoms so that you can find relief in your daily life while simultaneously exploring what factors contribute to and exacerbate your anxiety.

Anxiety or Fears
Jessica Biles
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R
Living with excessive worry and uncontrollable negative thoughts may impede your functioning during the day and keep you up at night. When anxiety impacts your ability to live comfortably, therapy can help. I work with clients to recognize and target the multiple components of anxiety: physical, cognitive, and behavioral symptoms. Using CBT and concrete coping skills I’m able to help clients to cope with stress, address specific fears, and alter negative self-talk. I also incorporate psychodynamic, insight-oriented interventions, to help clients dive deeper to explore and work through the root of their anxiety. Although anxiety can be overwhelming and debilitating, it’s highly treatable. Together, we can help you work through your worries, and find strategies that help you feel calmer, more at peace, and fulfilled.

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.
