Anxiety or Fears
Karen J. Osterle
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSSA, LICSW
Therapy focusing on anxiety helps patients struggling with anxiety to get emotionally organized and establish coping mechanisms for mitigating the symptoms, at least as the first order of business. The next (and equally important) step has us getting to the underlying root causes of the anxiety, so that the treatment can allow for longer-lasting changes in one’s relationships to self and others. This fundamental change paves the way to a more emotionally flexible life. Through weekly therapy sessions (or as often as necessary in the very beginning), patients suffering with anxiety can learn to free up emotional bandwidth and live their everyday lives in a more relaxed state of mind. This effective approach offers you an honest and accurate view of yourself, as well as a means to develop new ways of engaging with yourself and others.

Anxiety or Fears
Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Anxiety and fear can be approached from a variety of therapeutic techniques. Depending on severity, we can stay flexible in approaches to your anxiety and fear that you are experiencing. I like to note that many anxieties and fears are rooted in real experiences that are worthy of unearthing and healing. For those who come with anxieties that are based in reality, such as experiencing oppression or aggression from society, we will work together to find a path that allows you to feel like you get to live a life of value and finding ways to decrease your anxiety without necessarily losing access to safety.

Anxiety or Fears
Dr. L. Pittman
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have worked throughout my career to help individuals (children, adolescents, and adults) manage aspects of anxiety that are significantly impacting their functioning and well-being. I further help them identify strengths that can help them focus on what they have control over, and gain skills to manage their anxiety. This sometimes involves referral to and/or collaboration with a medication prescriber for comprehensive care and maximization of management of symptoms.

Anxiety or Fears
Johanna Isaacs
Psychologist, Psy.D., PsyPACT Participant
I help clients with anxiety identify their fear and worry patterns, understand where these thoughts may have come from in their lives, and create new ways of thinking that are more balanced and supportive. Creating anxiety management tools that help reduce physical anxiety symptoms in the moment means that my clients build realistic and useful coping strategies that help them feel better when anxiety peaks. We cannot eliminate anxiety or fear from our life but we can learn to understand our anxiety as a piece of us and ultimately appreciate who we are as a whole person.

I am passionate about working with anyone who has experienced depression or anxiety and who wants to take a deeper look at how these painful thoughts and feelings developed, and how they shape their daily lives. I strive to give my patients a myriad of coping skills and therapeutic tools that will allow them to deftly navigate the world’s everyday stressors, and ask them to look introspectively at their own expectations and biases as together we resist heteronormative patriachal structures.

Anxiety or Fears
Kris O'Shee
Counselor/Therapist, MA in Counseling Psychology, Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Anxiety can be caused by fears in the outer world over which we may feel we have no control over, like Covid. Or, anxiety and fear can arise from memories of past experiences like childhood trauma, divorce, or the sudden death of a family member. Our bodies store these memories which live in our nervous systems and arise in unexpected ways in the form of irrational thought patterns which in turn can trigger painful emotional responses and destructive behaviors. Mind-Body Medicine, in addition to talk therapy, offers many techniques for quieting the nervous system. Through such practices as meditation, deep breathing, and guided imagery, our minds learn to let go of anxious thoughts. When this happens the nervous system calms down, our bodies relax, and our minds become freer. In my work I focus on letting go of fear and anxiety while, at the the same time, allowing disruptive thoughts and feelings to flow in healthier, more creative forms of expression.

Douglas LaBier, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I treat the whole person, rather than the symptom of anxiety or fear. We explore and help awaken the source of the internal and external concerns that give rise to such symptoms. This enables new healing and growth of the person, beyond diminishment and management of symptoms.

Anxiety or Fears
Lauro Guzman
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LCSW
Anxiety is a feeling of unease, such as worry or fear, that can be mild or severe, often caused by negative thinking. I use cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and correct these negative thoughts and beliefs. The idea is that if you change the way you think, you can change the way you feel.

Anxiety or Fears
Dr. Wayne Bullock
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd
Life is filled with challenges! These challenges can leave us feeling anxious or afraid, and depending on how you were taught to handle anxiety, you might feel paralyzed by it, find ways to avoid those things that causes it, or become reactionary to stress. All of these may leave you feeling your life is not as full or rich as you want it to be, or that you are missing out on the life you always wanted to live. I can help you to understand what makes you anxious as well as how to manage those feelings so that you can begin to live a more authentic life.

Anxiety or Fears
Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Are you a high-achieving woman constantly managing a full schedule, yet beneath it all, struggling with feelings of overwhelm and anxiety? You’re not alone. Anxiety often manifests in highly capable, “high-functioning” individuals as a drive for perfectionism, people-pleasing, and an inability to slow down, ultimately leading to burnout. Dr. Cynthia specializes in helping women who look composed and successful on the outside but are managing a whirlwind of anxious thoughts within.
High-functioning anxiety can feel like an invisible weight—pushing you to achieve while simultaneously leaving you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and sometimes isolated. In Dr. Cynthia’s approach, she helps clients recognize these patterns, build healthier boundaries, and move away from the cycle of burnout. Her holistic strategies include specialized coaching and, if desired, clinical hypnosis to address the root causes of anxiety and exhaustion, empowering you to feel more balanced and at peace.
Rediscovering yourself outside the demands of anxiety is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone. Dr. Cynthia offers tailored support to help you reclaim your calm, confidence, and connection with your true self.
