Lafayette Therapists specializing in Anxiety

Samantha Pugh

I specialize in supporting very young children (ages 0-7) and their caregivers as they struggle to make meaning out of past trauma, better understand each other, and find enjoyment in one another. My clients are parents and caregivers who love their children deeply but are at a loss to help them make sense of scary things in a developmentally appropriate way. They are mothers experiencing depression or anxiety who see their relationship with their child negatively impacted by their own symptoms.

Dan Halpern

I have supported countless clients through panic attacks and ongoing struggles with anxiety. I teach skills and tools you can use immediately to ground and resource yourself when feeling anxious.

Audra Webb

My client is seeking someone to help them discover the why's. Why is my relationship not working? Why am I depressed or anxious? Why can't I be happy? Why is our marriage in trouble? Why do I feel stuck? Why am I not satisfied with my life? From there, we can work together to find a new path to a healthier life.

Todd Thillman

Are you a sensitive or quiet person who feels overwhelmed by the world around you? Do you sometimes feel like your needs are trampled on by others? Do you find yourself experiencing the same problems despite your best efforts to do things differently? I get it. I have been there myself and it's important to know you are not alone. Many of us have difficulty knowing, or even asking for what we need. Therapy can help you feel unstuck and to begin voicing your own needs. I can help you with this.

Dawn DeAno

Anxiety is an attempt to keep you safe. You could say it means well! When it’s in check, anxiety can be a major motivator. Your body was built to handle anxiety. However, if you experience excessive worry or get stuck in a “what if” cycle anxiety has taken over. I help my clients take their life back by investigating their particular experience with anxiety with curiosity and care. With my support, clients learn to choose what matters and take committed action rather than be hooked by anxiety.

Together we will explore how to help you feel less overwhelmed, stuck, or lost. You will learn tools on how to cope with overwhelming thoughts/emotions, how to work through difficult relationship situations, and how to be more at peace with yourself. I also work with children and teens who are struggling. If you are a parent and are unsure how to help your child, you are not alone. I am here to support you and your child and to provide the tools needed for your child to thrive.

Vicki Quarles

Do you get overwhelmed easily? Have you always felt different or flawed? Do you experience emotions on a deeper level than other people you know? Do you startle easily or find loud noises and chaotic environments difficult? Do you seem to need more "downtime" than others? If yes, you might be a Highly Sensitive Person. Or are you a Baby Boomer and experiencing stress and grief that comes with life changes as we age, including the death of a person or pet? Please know there is help.

Kate Kelsey

When anxiety gets the best of us, it can get in the way of living the life we want to live. Together, we can identify areas of your life causing you anxiety or that you feel you’re not succeeding in. And we can explore areas in which you’d like to explore and grow. These could include hobbies, romantic relationships, friendships, or overall lifestyle changes. Learning to have a different relationship with anxiety is possible, and can help you succeed in reaching all of your life goals.

Barton Shulman

Anxiety is often the result of an over-active defense mechanism. Whatever the original cause of this self-defense, it usually does a great job of protecting us from dangers. But true anxiety comes from that self-defense process running out of control; protecting us from dangers that are not present in the moment. Using evidence-based tools and practices, and working with each individual client (like you) to tailor a plan best suited for you, I help manage and reduce anxiety symptoms, recognize their causes, and work with you to reduce your anxiety, often transforming it into an ally instead of a cause of distress.

Meredith Waller

Anxiety absolutely sucks, but it doesn't get to take over your life. Whether you're struggling with sleep, social situations, constantly feeling overwhelmed, or fixated on a specific worry- I can help. Utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and self-compassion- I empower clients to take back control by teaching where anxiety comes from, which tools it responds best to, and identifying life situations that may be increasing its presence in your life.

Erika De La Castro

As a systemically-trained therapist, I believe that no person is an island. We all have many people influencing every aspect of our lives, people who have helped shape us to be who we are today. In therapy, I want to hear about you, but I also want to hear about your people. I’m committed to taking the time we need to unravel who you really are. In therapy, we will carefully unwrap painful memories, brave new ways of thinking, and spend some of the time laughing and connecting as human beings.

Erica Faulhaber

Are you always trying to be perfect? Have you been seeking perfection with food, your body, in relationships, in sports, in academics and in your high-level career? Trying to be “perfect” is exhausting! I know exactly what you're feeling: the pressure, feeling stuck, immobilized -- all of which are holding you captive in a space of uncertainty about yourself. It can be terrifying! I don't want you to experience these feeling anymore. I want to teach you tools to take your life back!

Johanna Karasik

Anxiety can feel like stress, burn out, confusion, dread, nervousness, overwhelm, being “stretched too thin” or even anger. I support clients toward relief from symptoms such as irritability, avoidance (procrastination, using alcohol & other drugs, withdrawing or isolating), racing heart, digestive issues, sleep difficulties, or feelings of panic.

Lauren Simpson

Is the pain of your past making it difficult to live in the present? Have you lost a sense of safety in your life? Do you struggle with getting hijacked by feelings of shame, anxiety, anger, or sadness? Are your relationships suffering and you wonder how you will ever learn to trust again? Are you a parent and feel "stuck" in how to connect with your child and set kind and firm limits that will nurture healthy development? If your answer to any of these questions is yes, then you are not alone.

Michelle Rose

Do you find yourself feeling sad, lonely, or isolated more often than you'd like? Struggling to feel like you fit in somewhere? Frustrated with your relationships? I know exactly how you're feeling; wanting to be yourself with friends and partners, but never fully feeling at ease in them, overthinking everything leaving you feeling exhausted and overwhelmed. Holistic, integrative practices can help unburden the inner critic and open your life up to genuine connections.

Kerry Luke

Thad Frye

I specialize in Brainspotting a cutting edge brain-body modality which leads to healing and self-discovery that turns difficult life transitions into opportunities for growth and renewal.

Christine Tierramar

Feeling anxious is a normal part of life, but when these thoughts, feelings, & sensations become overwhelming, it interferes with our ability to function normally and in a healthy way. Suffering from anxiety and panic disorder tends to be a very stigmatized and isolating experience, as the general public doesn't understand the intensity of what this experience is like. We will go at the pace that is most comfortable to you and use evidence based methods in a trauma-informed therapeutic way!
