As your therapist, we will identify helpful coping strategies to decrease symptoms of anxiety & depression, reduce unhelpful thoughts, and increase self-esteem and resilience.
Appointments Available! Hello! My name is Lauren and I am so glad you’re here. As a skilled mental health counselor with over 25 years of experience, I enjoy helping teens and young adults, ages 13-26, manage life’s challenges. This time in one’s life is filled with transition, identity development, and emerging independence, and these changes can often create anxiety, worry, changing moods, and lack of self-esteem. In addition to the normative developmental changes, young people today face ever-evolving challenges in the age of social media, societal unrest & uncertainty, and significant pressure to experience success.

My ideal client struggles with Anxiety, Depression, Eating Disorders, Trauma, and/or related conditions. They are motivated for change or at least open to the possibility of change. They are open to feedback and willing to lean into the therapeutic process. They do not need to have clear goals for the therapeutic process right away but are willing to work to identify these goals in the treatment process. They would want to improve their life in some way, or even just their relationship with themselves.

Life can be hard sometimes. Just when you think that things are going well, anxiety and depression can strike at a moment's notice, leaving you feeling lost, confused, and not sure where to turn. Your mood begins to sink, as you try desperately to stay afloat, only to face more adversity with each tug. You begin to cast judgment on yourself, lose hope, and fill your mind with self-deprecating banter. Health problems - old and new - may complicate the picture, leaving you feeling even more vulnerable to life's misfortunes.

Anxiety Therapists

What are the most common treatments for anxiety?

Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.

How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?

The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.

When should I seek treatment for anxiety?

Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.

How effective is treatment for anxiety?

Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
