San Luis Obispo Therapists specializing in Anxiety

Pamela Suraci

Modern life is stressful, but when "stress" becomes incapacitating it is more accurately labeled anxiety. The physical and emotional price we pay for untreated anxiety is high and often, unnecessary. Self-soothing and stress management tools are essential but rarely taught. Let me help you learn to settle your physical and emotional states so we can discover the causes of your anxiety and ways to address it.

Allison Rice

I use a mindfulness based approach to better understand your own mind and tools to create balance and well being.

Amanda Palen

My clients often find themselves disconnected from self, struggling in relationship, and striving to find meaning in their lives. My clients also bring their own unique personality into treatment and I work with this strength collaboratively, like sewing a blanket we find the threads of meaning in your life that offer insight and wisdom. My style combines a warm and empathetic presence with a focused intention as I support you in understanding all your threads.

Margaret Hoyne Brown

Summer Sessions Counseling Alexann Masiko-Meyer

Anxiety is a normal part of life, however, sometimes anxiety can run high and overwhelm. We can take some of that pressure off your mind and off your chest with talk therapy and some helpful strategies to process through and manage anxiety.

Karen Schneller

You are living a daily battle in your head about what you can eat, how much you should exercise, if you are worthy of taking up space. You are consumed by counting calories and by the negative voice inside that tells you, you’ll never look or feel a certain way. You are fed up with how the society/culture tells you how you should look and feel and behave. I help women heal their relationship with food and their body after years of eating disorders & chronic dieting. Full recovery is possible!

Christina Martinez

All day you hear the critical voice of the eating disorder in your head, dictating what you can eat, how you should feel and what your allowed to do that day. The committee in your head occupies your every thought and judges your every move. To make matters worse, today's society is feeding that committee through diet culture. You struggle to let others in to help you when you need it most. Your struggle is real and valid! This daily battle is exhausting and leaves you questioning reality.

Claire C. Foster

I have had previous success with the patients who are going through adjustment disorders, anxiety disorders, and struggling with a myriad of life transitions.

Riley Davis

Are you finding career success but stumbling when it comes to other essential areas of your life like self-care and relationships? Do you struggle to enjoy your accomplishments, even when friends and family say you’re doing well? Does life feel like two steps forward, one step back? For many, development through adulthood can feel uneven, disorienting and challenging. This can contribute to feelings of being an “imposter” and prevent you from really savoring the wins you have in life.

Maribel Alaniz Mendez

Anxiety can be normal, however, people who suffer from anxiety disorders frequently experience intense, excessive, and pervasive anxiety regarding the events of daily life. To avoid these emotions, you may avoid places or situations. To avoid these emotions, you may avoid places or situations. The signs and symptoms can start in childhood or adolescence and last into adulthood.

Shannon Cantillano

I see young people and people with significant life experience and everyone in-between.

Christina Dee

Anxiety is both an emotional, mental and physical experience. It could be related to unproductive thoughts in the form of habituated storylines dominating our head space, or we might feel anxiety in the body without really knowing why. By building and strengthening our mental, emotional and somatic self-regulating capacities to uncouple the physical symptoms of anxiety from the thinking mind, skillful action arises bringing more space, aliveness and possibility into your life.

Chantel Miller

I tend to relate easily to my clients, listening to their concerns and am able to provide guidance when it is appropriate. I feel that it is important for the therapist and the client to have a good connection in order to help in the therapy process. I initially use Cognitive Behavioral and Solution Focused Therapies, but as I get to know my clients more and their specific difficulties I will use other modalities as necessary. Let's chat to see if we would be a good match.

Larisa Traga
