How do you work with clients with anxiety?
"Anxiety" has a different flavor for different characters. Our personalities are (in part) built on what we think/feel is the worst possible outcome to life, like having no guidance, being useless, being trapped, or feeling unloved. In therapeutic conversation, we can befriend the parts of you that see to it that you don't directly encounter the feelings that come with these fears. Being in dialogue with the parts that protect you means finding an opportunity to give those parts what they need to stop working so hard. When you start to feel the underlying fears with the confidence that they aren't the end of the world, you can surrender the ways that you unconsciously prove to yourself that anxiety is necessary. Self-fulfilling prophecies like "No one will help me" or "I am going to fail" stop feeling so magnetic when you realize just how much you have sought to prove that these are likely outcomes.
I help you get to the heart of your inner conflicts with questions like: What are the different parts of your personality? Why do you keep repeating the same patterns over and over? Why do you choose one emotional response over another? If you're experiencing addictive patterns (either to substances or behaviors), I can help you find autonomy even if you feel you're self-sabotaging. I am also adept at addressing men's issues, trauma, anxiety, and depression. Anyone who is committed to self-reflection will benefit from my non-pathologizing approach to emotional balance. I devote myself to easing a person into knowledge of their cognition, their character, and their life script so that they feel empowered to embrace themselves fully and edit their experience as they please. I have built a system of diagnostics that leads into health, rather than out of "illness." I support you in understanding the purpose of your pain. I know how many mental health appointments simply leave a person feeling that they have one more knot to undo, one more stuck point lingering. I offer you a new view of yourself that is based in holistic wisdom. You'll embrace the realities of your inner life from a place of resourcefulness and present-focused awareness.

How do you work with clients with anxiety?
Our team draws on a wealth of expertise and experience in effective cognitive and behavioral treatments. The approaches we utilize most often are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and a specialized form of cognitive-behavioral therapy called Exposure Therapy or Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). Through these approaches, clients learn to modify unhelpful patterns of thinking; reduce undesirable behavior patterns (such as avoidance, anxious behaviors, or procrastination); and gradually confront and master the situations, activities, objects, and memories that cause anxiety. Where appropriate, we integrate mindfulness and acceptance-based approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), to help clients cope more effectively with difficult thoughts, feelings, and situations. We will work closely with you to custom-tailor treatment and identify the combination of strategies, principles, and tools most likely to work for you based on your particular problems, needs, and goals. For clients with certain problems and needs, we also draw upon in-depth training in more specialized cognitive-behavioral treatments, including: - Habit Reversal Training (HRT) for trichotillomania and excoriation disorders - Comprehensive Behavioral Treatment (ComB) for trichotillomania and excoriation disorders - Prolonged Exposure (PE) for trauma and PTSD - Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma and PTSD Behavioral Activation (BA) for depression - Intolerance of Uncertainty (IU) Therapy for generalized anxiety - Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills Training
