Louise Will-Wallace

Similar to what I wrote about depression, anxiety takes many forms and has many causes. Some are worry habits and some are reality based. Some people are aware of the trigger and others are not. Once again treatment is tailored to your particular issues and how to help you find relieve from difficult and painful anxiety.

I'm looking for clients who are ready to get to work on issues, big or small. If you need someone to laugh with you, that's me.

I know finding a therapist can seem like such a monumental task, but choose to start somewhere. If I'm not the right fit, I'll try to help you so you can find that person you need.

Kayla Schuster

The therapeutic relationship, built on trust and understanding, is an essential component to therapy, and I strive to bring warmth, encouragement, and humor into our collaboration. I work with individuals struggling with eating disorders and body image issues, anxiety, depression, trauma/post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and related issues.

Jessica O'Neil

Anxiety is the mind and body's way of protecting us from danger but often times we get stuck in the fight, flight or freeze response. Therapy is a great tool to work through those unhelpful thought patterns and start enjoying life again!

Melissa Clawson

It is common for people to see me for their own personal development. Often old patterns interfere with people being able to achieve their full potential. Therapy can identify these patterns. Working through the thoughts and emotions related to these patterns will allow one to be transformed and decrease their influence on the client.

I work primarily with children, adolescents and young adults (ages 8-22) to develop a sense of empowerment through therapy, while utilizing mind-body awareness, self-regulation and relaxation techniques, coping skills, and social-skills-training to reduce anxiety, process trauma, increase self-esteem, develop social skills, and provide an opportunity for creative expression.

Kevin M. Holloway

Anxiety is a good thing when it is working properly. It helps us recognize danger, deal with threats effectively, and survive. But sometimes anxiety gets activated at times that aren't useful, and instead of helping, it interferes with our normal day to day lives. If you are dealing with anxiety the good news is that there are effective approaches to help you re-calibrate that anxiety and make it work for you again. Let's talk and find out how we can work together to help you get there.

Have you wondered if healing will every be possible for you? Does it feel like life is filled with too many challenges and you just can't catch a break? Emotional pain can be exhausting but with support you can find your momentum and regain your power. I'm dedicated to helping others realize that healing is possible no matter how long you’ve been struggling.

Erin Atkinson

I know that you have a "pretty good" life. Perhaps you have done some work in therapy before, and things are finally stable. Yet, you sometimes feel like you are playing a part, rather than embracing and expressing your authentic self. You may feel uncomfortable in your own skin, self-conscious, or like you are not "enough." You may struggle to find your authentic voice and honor your values in your relationships or career.

Erin Graham

You may appear fine to the outside world, but underneath feel sensitive to home/school/work environments. Some people find they are using a lot of mental energy fighting off the insensitive words/actions of others, unspoken societal pressures, or general worries. Over time, this can wear down your self-worth and impact your relationships. It can make all the difference when you find a space where you feel understood and are free to express your genuine emotions.

Kelly Jacobs

Are you feeling like you are sinking and you can’t seem to find a way to stop it? Perhaps you are experiencing intrusive negative thoughts or excessive worry. You don’t recognize yourself anymore and you struggle to get through the day. Whether you are dealing with overwhelming emotions, feelings of disconnection, or are simply unsure what direction you need to go in, you are taking a courageous first step by just looking for a therapist.

Amanda Mason

You’ve been staring at your to-do list for half an hour and still haven’t made a bit of progress. You’re not sure when everything became so complicated. Even the things you used to enjoy have turned into overwhelming obstacles. You see the people around you being productive, socializing, and making progress in their lives. Meanwhile, you feel stuck in place, like the world is passing you by.

Brian Pratt

I approach clients with respect and sincerity to create safe, trusting relationships. The stability of that relationship will allow us to learn, grow, and create new paths forward.

Bridges, dogs, being alone, leaving the house), Obsessive-Compulsive disorders, and general anxiety. It is important to note, that sometimes you can link the feelings of anxiety to specific triggers; other times you may not be able to pinpoint why the feelings arise.

Anxiety can be normal in stressful situations such as public speaking or taking a test.
